1968 Dodge Charger - Excellent "original" Project - Drive While You Restore on 2040-cars
College Station, Texas, United States
|
1968 Dodge Charger. Basically an original, never restored car. Has from what I can tell a year correct 440 engine (Stamped D 440), but was originally a 383 car. Your going to have a hard time finding a complete project car like this one, ready for a quick and easy restoration. Car sat for 3-4 years, I got it running (this past weekend) so it can be driven in and out of the shop and I replaced the Master Cylinder so it would stop. I removed the front windshield and rear glass to inspect any damage from the vinyl top, all the seams and around the windows were good etc but the roof itself (top) and the sail panels needed some attention. All of that work has been completed and car is ready for a new vinyl top. Body is straight, I have a lower RH quater patch panel as most likely a tire blew out and dented the original panel in. It needs to be pulled out or I would recommend installing the patch. Rust bubbles here and there but nothing that is real bad (I would just do 80 grit, treat the rust from backside, and use panel bond to fix and should be good to go). Car can be in the paint booth fast. Original trunk looks great, a couple of spots on the corners that have holes but this is hands down the best Charger trunk I've seen. Trunk drip rails, all great condition. I pulled the hood and the trunk lid off, took those for bead blast and are primed with PPG (professionally done). I have not re-installed the hood yet, will do so this weekend. Interior is all original stuff, needs to be gone through. It appears to be all there, from the carpet to even the original radio, and rear defrost. Condition of the Electrical system is unknown, I hotwired the car to start and drive it. Check my feedback, I have sold numerous classic cars, motorcycles, (about 2-3 per year) etc since 2005 with 100% excellent feedback and have dealt with overseas buyers in the past so no worries (again check my seller feedback). All funds must post before car leaves my garage. I am an honest seller and expect the same from potential buyers. Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time. Not going to find many 68 Chargers like this, thanks for looking. I do have another 68 Charger that will be going onto Ebay in another week, if your looking for multiple '68 Chargers.
NOTE: I am having problems with uploading the pictures of the car, please check back in a day or two.

Dodge bringing revamped Challenger, Charger to Big Apple
Mon, 07 Apr 2014The 2014 New York Auto Show will be a big one for Dodge, as the brand has announced that refreshed versions of the 2015 Challenger and 2015 Charger will debut at the show. This is a particularly big deal for the two-door Challenger which, visually, has remained unchanged since is burst back onto the scene in 2008 and helped reignite the muscle car wars.
As a sort of hint, this announcement was accompanied by the picture you see above - the Super Bee logo in the Challenger's new instrument cluster. According to Dodge, the New York debut of a new "powertrain combination" - possibly with the high-output Hellcat V8 - will leave enthusiasts "abuzz."
As for the Charger, Dodge is promising a full redesign that should be a significant departure from the blunt, angry looks of the current model. At this point, there's no indication that the Challenger's new powertrain could be fitted to the Charger, although considering how mechanically similar these two vehicles have been, it doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility.
Dodge lets us drive 100-years' worth of history [w/videos]
Thu, 03 Jul 2014
A raft of important production models from the last hundred years were available for me to either drive or ride in.
Dodge is 100 years old this year. So, as happened on Ford's recent centennial, the 50-year birthday of the Porsche 911, and others, the company has an excuse to trot out the highlights of its history next to its upcoming model lineup, and declare that "these are the fruits of the Dodge Boys' tree whose roots have grown strong." Or something like that. Never so hampered by marketing skepticism that I'll pass up the opportunity to burn someone else's rubber, I was happy to drive out to Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester Hills, MI - former grand estate of the Dodge family - to hear the spiel.
2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat revving is sonic bacon
Fri, 23 May 2014This is the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and we're sure that by now, you know its stats, including over 600 horsepower from its 6.2-liter, supercharged V8. What, pray tell, does that blown engine sound like, though?
At least judging on the sonic strength of this video, it's very, very dirty. Honestly, it sounds unlike anything that's come out of the Chrysler Group in a long time, if ever. It's loud, almost brutally so, with a bark that few road-going V8s can match.
Of course, you should be the final judge here. Take a look and a listen at the two videos below, one of which comes from our friends at Cars.com that provides a nice look under the hood, and then let us know what you think of the Hellcat's singing voice in Comments.
