1968 Dodge Charger Body
NO RESERVE!

Up for auction is a 1968 Dodge Charger that is nothing more than a shell.  Granted, there are a lot of missing parts, this car is still very restorable.  About 9 years ago, the whole body was dipped and phosphate coated at Metal Refinishers here in Jackson, MS.  Quarter skins were installed along with rear valance and other parts.  All parts were purchased from Paddock.  The trunk floor, trunk extensions, and interior floors were not installed yet but are included in the auction.  The lower sections of the quarters have not been welded either.  I'm really picky about my work, so if I were to keep this car, I would go back and re-repair a lot of the work that was already done.  But not everyone is like me and a lot of people would be glad to pick up right where the previous owner stopped. The car sat on it's rails for while and was shuffled around which dented the pinch welds and outer rockers.  I have taken pictures of the numbers on the radiator support and the trunk gutter, which on pre-69 models do not have any relation to the actual VIN.  Just the "B" (Hamtramck Plant), the "8" (1968), the "X" (Charger Line) were related to the VIN.  The remaining numbers were not the sequence numbers but instead, was an vehicle order number.  The dash frame with the original VIN plate were not sold with the body and I do not know where it ended up.  I saw the car before the restoration began and this car was originally green, green interior, green vinyl top, 318, auto on the floor w/ console, and factory A/C.  You could use this shell for many different builds.... the body on your project '68 is badly wrecked or too far gone... or you want to build a race car out of it.... or maybe you just want it for parts.  It's up to you.

Story on the car:  A local gentleman started to restore this car as a father-son project.  They made a lot of progress on the car and spent a lot of money in the process.  The son ended up passing away after a battle with cancer. As you can imagine, the father lost all interest in the this car along with his other projects.  The car sat for a while and then he finally decided to sell everything off.  He didn't want to piece it out but instead, he wanted to sell everything as one lot ('68 Charger, '69 Charger, '70 Charger, and a trailer load of parts).  After many people looked at the lot (myself included) no one would jump on the whole lot.  After a year of trying to sell it, he started to piece things out a little at a time.  Finally, someone purchased the remaining lot.  The lot changed hands a few more times, each time fewer and fewer parts where in the lot and everyone sold it "all-or-nothing"... so I purchased what was left, which included everything you see here along with a pair of complete doors,a deck lid, and a very small handful of misc random parts.  I only purchased it for the doors and deck lid.  They are not included in the auction but if you win the auction, and really want the doors and deck lid, I will sell them for an additional cost of $500.  I would probably keep the car but I have too many projects already.  

I have uploaded 78 detailed pictures of the car to a Photobucket folder and you can view all four pages at http://s6.photobucket.com/user/CornDog05/library/68%20Charger?sort=2&page=1
I can take additional pictures if you like.  Just send me a message.  

This car is being sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty, no VIN, and no title.  SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY!  Please do not waste my time.  Winning bidder is responsible for all shipping arrangements.  The body is fairly light and will be easy to load onto your trailer.  I can assist with loading the car on your trailer.  No negotiations on price after the auction has ended.  Bid what you are willing to pay.  A $200 non-refundable deposit is due within 5 days after the auction has ended.  The remaining balance is due before the vehicle is released for transport.  All funds must clear prior to delivery.  I accept Paypal along with other forms of payment for the deposit.  I will not accept Paypal for the remaining balance due to high fees.  Cash is person is fine too.  Thank you for looking at my auction and Good Luck!

Daily driving a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat

Tue, Feb 9 2016

I took delivery of my 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat at Ron Carter Dodge in League City. Bobby Pate and the entire Ron Carter team made the buying experience painless. Thanks, guys! It was worth the nine-month wait to get a new Challenger Hellcat at sticker price. My Hellcat is Phantom Black Tri-coat Pearl with a black interior. The car has the six-speed manual transmission and UConnect. Yes, I know the eight-speed automatic is faster, but the manual transmission provides a level of enjoyment that must be experienced to be appreciated. My original intention was to write daily about my experiences with the Hellcat, but I have been having too much fun with the car. The first 100 miles required incredible self-control to keep the car under 55 mph and engine speed under 3500 rpm. The difference in the driving experience after 500 miles was – and I am only exaggerating a little – life altering!The Red Key To paraphrase Morpheus in The Matrix, "You take the black key, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red key, you stay in wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes." The black key is in a place where it will stay until the red key is snatched from my cold, dead hand. The red key is the only key. The red key is "The Key." All 707 horsepower are available with the red key. You can lower the horsepower to only 500 using the SRT pages, I have heard, but why? I have driven the Hellcat in bumper-to-bumper Houston traffic in red-key mode. I have driven the Hellcat in the pouring rain in red-key mode. I have driven the Hellcat to the mall, to the grocery store, to the movies, and to Killen's Steakhouse in Pearland for a 100% Japanese Wagyu steak from the Kagoshima Prefecture. (It was a birthday present from my son. My money goes into the gas tank of my Hellcat.) Just for fun, I used the SRT Pages to put the car in valet mode. For those of you who do not know, valet mode limits the horsepower to: oh, hell! Who cares? The car felt like the parking brake had not been disengaged. I have heard rumors that the Tremec six-speed transmission has a 1-4 skip-shift feature. My Hellcat has never been subjected to this travesty.Questions, questions, and more questions Q: How much over sticker did you have to pay? A: Zero Q: What kind of gas mileage do you get? A: ROTFL Q: How did you ever talk your significant other into letting you buy the Hellcat? A: I didn't ask.

Dodge celebrates centennial with Charger and Challenger 100th Anniversary Editions

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

In 1914, the Dodge brothers went from being a parts supplier to a full-scale automaker, and to celebrate the centennial of this milestone, Dodge will offer special editions of the 2014 Charger and Challenger early next year. Both cars will be sold in limited numbers (although no specific number was given), and these cars will stand out thanks to unique touches like 20-inch wheels, 100th anniversary edition logos and the exclusive High Octane Red Pearl Coat paint job (shown above).
The 100th Anniversary Edition package, which runs $2,200 on the 2014 Charger and $2,500 on the 2014 Challenger, comes with red or black leather seats with a cloud print (for a denim-like look) and metal badges on the seatbacks that read "Dodge Est. 1914," while similar logos are also found on the wheel center caps and front fenders. The instrument gauges are unique to each car, with the Charger getting black gauges and the Challenger getting white gauges, and to enunciate the 100-year anniversary, both cars have red numerals on the speedometer for the 100-mile-per-hour mark.
Finishing off the 100th Anniversary Edition cars, which will be offered on V6 and R/T models, Dodge adds a flat-bottom steering wheel and embroidered floor mats as a part of the package. Scroll down for the full press release for these commemorative models.

Ranking Dodge's Charger Hellcat with the fastest sedans in the world

Thu, 14 Aug 2014



"This is a car that most brands would never bring to market." - Tim Kuniskis
Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis had reason to be confident, perhaps even a bit cocky at the reveal of his brand's newest halo car, the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat. As he said simply, it's the "quickest, fastest and most powerful sedan in the world."
