History
The Dodge Charger is an automobile marketed by the Dodge division of Chrysler and currently manufactured in Canada. First used on a show car in 1964, there have been several different production vehicles, built on three different platforms and sizes, all bearing the Charger nameplate.
The Charger was redesigned for 1968, and sales increased. Based on the Chrysler B platform, the model years received various cosmetic changes to the exterior and interior including: an undivided grill, rounded tail lights, and hidden headlights. The powertrains were the same as the ones used in the 1967 Charger. The model was not successful in stock car racing such as NASCAR. A more aerodynamic shape formed the Charger 500 model that became the basis for the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona.

This beautiful Mopar was bought out of Irving Texas in 1990. It was used as a daily driver until 1997. In 1999 a full restoration was started. The entire car was taken all the way apart and media blasted. The car had a crate engine for a few years but has since been replaced with a 1969 440ci block. It was burgundy when he bought it, believed to originally be a black car.

the auction for the reserve price. If an auction ends and the bids do not meet
the reserve price, we will continue to relist it until it sells. Do not
hesitate to contact Tom 7 days a week! We take over 100 photographs
of the car, as well as a high definition video, so you know exactly what to
expect. We encourage you to hire an independent inspector to check out the car,
