1968 Charger R/T, 426 Hemi - This is a very rare car, possibly one-of-a-kind. I purchased this car in early 1997 with 27,000 miles on the odometer - the odometer now reads just a little over 41,000. Car was built September 6, 1967, in Hamtramck, MI. Since VIN numbers were not stamped on blocks prior to '68, there is no VIN number on this block - it is, however, date code correct and all paperwork indicates it is the original block (see picture). Color is burgandy metallic (RR1) with a black interior - one of 211 Hemi 4 speeds.
Car was restored in 1990 by Chuck Pierce Restorations in New Hampshire, who also owned the car at one time. I purchased the car from a private owner in Minnesota. This car is rare because it was a complete option delete order other than shoulder harnesses - stripe delete, radio delete, no console, no power brakes, steering or windows, no vinyl top, etc. The shoulder harnesses indicate the car was probably originally purchased to run on the track. The fender tag was decoded by Galien Govier several years ago, which verified the originality of the car.
Although a 1990 restoration, the body and paint are in excellent condition - all sheet metal is original with no patches. Since this is a street driven car, not a trailer queen, it had a few, very small paint chips that I have recently had professionally repaired - receipts available. I also replaced the carpet several years ago & it is still in excellent condition.
In Dec. 08, I had the engine rebuilt by Best Machines, Farmington Hills, MI, using only the highest quality parts and at a cost of over $11,000. All new internal parts including: Eagle 4.15" Stroker crank and H-beam rods; Mopar 4.290" bore pistons giving it a final displacement of 479 cubic inches; new, custom ground Competition Cams, camshaft with hydraulic lifters; new Ferrea valves and bronze guides also installed with hardened valve seats to run on regular, unleaded gas; new Competition cams double valve springs with Moly retainers and 10 degree locks; Rollmaster billet timing gear and roller chain; original dual point distributor rebuilt and recurved for mechanical advance only; original intake and dual 625 cfm Carter AFB carbs rebuilt and Dyno-jetted; Flow cooler high volume water pump; Melling high volume oil pump; Mopar Performance windage tray and original 6 qt. oil pan; original rocker arms refaced, Magnafluxed and shafts polished; new reproduction ignition parts include spark plug wires (correct date code), coil, distributor cap, wire separators, voltage regulator, starter relay, ignition switch, alternator and hi-torque starter; new, after market 850 CCA battery will start this car no matter how cold or hot; and finally, factory exhaust manifolds with new 2 1/2" X-pipe exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers and factory tips. Flywheel face correctly center ground on face; Centerforce dual friction clutch, pressure plate, roller pilot bearing and throw out bearing - this clutch has a light pedal pressure while retaining the ability to hold an extreme amount of torque. Reconditioned, original Hurst shifter. Fresh lube in the A-833 18 spline 4 speed transmission and Dana 60 rear (unsure of gear ratio; original ratio was 3.54:1).
This engine retains a completely stock and factory appearance externally, but is actually a 479 c.i., 505 hp, 536 ft. lb. torque giant. Car is completely streetable and has less than a thousand miles on it since total rebuild.
Wheels are 15x7 Magnum 500's; tires are Goodyear Aquatread: rear P225 70 x 15; front P215 70 x 15.
Heavy duty 11" drum brakes all around with all new hardware including shoes and wheel cylinders.
All receipts and documentation from the engine rebuild are available, as well as dyno test records - please disregard 2006 date on engine pictures; I failed to change the date on the camera - rebuild began in '08 & was completed in '09. Also have original build sheet, reproduction window sticker, sales brochure, fender tag information from Galien Govier, a few 1990 restoration pictures, original factory keys and other miscellaneous receipts/documents.
Inspection by appointment is welcomed. Please ask any questions you may have prior to bidding. In fairness to all bidders, I will not disclose my reserve, so please don't ask. Buyer is responsible for all costs related to pick up and/or shipping/delivery of vehicle. $1,000 non-refundable deposit required upon completion of auction.

FCA recalls 894k total vehicles worldwide in two campaigns
Fri, Oct 30 2015FCA is recalling a total of 893,698 vehicles worldwide in two campaigns to fix problems with inadvertent airbag deployment, failure of the anti-lock brakes, and stability control systems in the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Liberty, Dodge Journey, and Fiat Freemont. 559,703 of these vehicles are in the US. The larger recall affects 284,089 examples of the 2003 Jeep Liberty and 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and there are also 13,411 of them in Canada, 6,277 in Mexico, and 48,212 outside the NAFTA region. Because of "electrical noise beyond the tolerance of the airbag electronic control module", part of that component can fail, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This can cause the front and side airbags to deploy and the seatbelt pre-tensioners to activate inadvertently. FCA US has seven reports of alleged injuries from this problem. To fix the situation, the Jeeps need their Occupant Restraint Control modules replaced, as well as the front- and side-impact sensors. According to the NHTSA, the replacement parts won't be available until early 2016. Still, FCA US will advise owners about the problem in a letter by the end of December and will send a second notification when the components are ready. The second campaign affects 275,614 examples of the 2012-2015 Dodge Journey in the US; plus 78,148 of them in Canada, 36,471 in Mexico, and 151,476 left-hand drive units outside of NAFTA where it's sold as the Fiat Freemont. On these vehicles, water intrusion can disable the anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control, although a warning light often illuminates when this issue occurs, and the problem doesn't affect regular braking. There are also no reports of injuries or accidents. To fix the issue, dealers will seal the ABS wiring harness and will replace any already affected components as necessary, like the ABS module or the headlamp and dashboard wiring harness. Statement: Occupant Restraint Control Modules October 30, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 284,089 older-model SUVs in the U.S. to replace their Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) modules and front and/or side-impact sensors, as required. Within this vehicle population, FCA US became aware of seven injuries caused by inadvertent air-bag deployments and advised NHTSA accordingly. The affected vehicles are not equipped with Takata Corp. air-bags. The Company is unaware of any related accidents.
