1968 Dodge Charger R/T Real "J" Code 426 Hemi *** Rare AA1 Silver Paint *** Keisler/Tremec 5 Speed Same Owner for 14 Years Offered for sale is my 1968 Hemi Charger R/T. It is a REAL factory "J" Code Hemi Car and a REAL factory 4-speed car, 1 of 211 built. Rarer still is that it is a factory AA1 "Buffed Silver" paint car. I have owned this car for 14 years as part of my collection and it has always been stored in a heated/cooled/humidity controlled garage. This Hemi Charger R/T was featured in MOPAR MUSCLE Magazine in November 1997 and has owner history back to when it was ordered new. This car has been in The Charger Registry since 1989. Still wearing what I believe is it's only repaint applied by Totally Auto in '92-'93, this original 35k mile car's paint looks the way these cars did when they were new. Underneath you will find all the original factory undercoat still in outstanding condition and when you look inside the trunk, the original quarter panels & trunk floor are wearing the factory applied sound deadener and all the original pinch welds are clearly visible on the original body. Under the hood, the production # is stamped in the radiator core support (right next to the original 1968 Hemi radiator) and the left side of the trunk rail is also wearing its stamping. For many years I drove and enjoyed the car the way it was when I purchased it. Around 2011, I decided to begin making a few upgrades to the car so it could be better enjoyed. The undercarriage was completely rebuilt using all new urethane bushings, Moog suspension components as well as adding front disc brakes (original drum units were saved). The interior was in good condition, but I decided to refurbish the it as well as having Red Line Instruments rebuilt & refinish all the gauges, Secret Audio upgrade the original radio to AM/FM with more power and you can plug in your IPhone and play your favorite music. I added a new correct center console and had the original Inland Shifter lever re-chrome plated after modifying to fit the 5 speed. I have a complete new set of seat belts that I have not yet installed. As for the drivetrain, I had INDY CYLINDER HEAD build a bored & stroked 484 ci engine (1969 block) using a rare set of DART Pro Stock Aluminum heads that were custom machined and bench flow tested. I had everything under the hood finished to be as stock appearing as possible as I like the "as factory" appearance. Sporting a solid lifter cam, 3" TTI header/exhaust system, a 4.11 gear set (completely rebuilt by Herb McCandless), and a Tremec 5-speed by KEISLER Engineering, you have the best of all worlds.....The car is a beast in 1st thru 4th, then you have that wonderful 5th gear so you can drive it on the highway without all the fuss. Another recent upgrade was the addition of redline radial tires all the way around, 225-70-15 for the front and the 275-60-15 Nitto Drag Radials for the rear. I have all the "H" wheels for the car, though I had to add a set of 15x7 1972 "C" body wheels for the drag radials at the rear to fit properly. The Fender Tag decodes as follows:
This car is "turn the key and drive to California" ready. There are no issues to sort out. This is a rare car and it has been well cared for and collector maintained. It has all the upgrades that you dream about doing, but don't want to endure the time/expense/aggravation of doing. Feel free to email with questions or call 336-202-8762. |

2013 Dodge Challenger R/T Redline revs into Chicago
Fri, 01 Feb 2013When Dodge released the Challenger Rallye Redline last year, it brought a new dimension of styling to the car's classic muscle car lines, but it was only available in V6 form lacking the oomph to back up its sinister appearance. To remedy that situation, Dodge is unveiling the Challenger R/T Redline, powered by a Hemi V8 engine, at the Chicago Auto Show.
Other than the extra cylinders, most of the R/T's Redline package carries over from the Rallye model including the custom-look 20-inch black chrome wheels with red paint accents, but the R/T version of the package gets more of a retro look to the side stripes with graphite graphics featuring Redline lettering. Cars equipped with the six-speed manual transmission will get a performance-tuned, low-restriction exhaust allowing the engine to produce 375 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque; cars with the five-speed auto are rated at 372 hp and 400 lb-ft, but they do offer a bright chrome Mopar t-handle shifter and steering wheel paddle shifters.
The R/T Redline Group is offered only on cars painted in Billet Silver, Granite Crystal, Bright White and Pitch Black, and it adds just $1,995 to the MSRP of the Challenger R/T (starting at $31,990) and the Challenger R/T Plus (starting at $33,990), which adds features like Nappa leather and Boston Acoustics speakers.
Dodge CEO and Gas Monkey Garage dissect the 10-second Challenger Hellcat
Fri, 11 Jul 2014So far, whenever we've seen the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT with its 707-horsepower, supercharged Hellcat V8, the muscle car has been smoking its tires. Dodge is finally proving that the SRT can do more than ruin perfectly good sets of rubber, though. In it's latest video, company CEO Tim Kuniskis hands the Hellcat off to the guys from Gas Monkey Garage to show how quickly the automaker's most powerful model can make it down the drag strip.
Of course, the only fitting contender to race against Dodge's latest top muscle car is its grandpa - a Hemi-powered 1971 Challenger, in this case. Before getting to the main event, the hosts also show off some of the SRT's unique features like the blanks in the grille that feed the intercoolers. We'll go ahead and spoil that the Hellcat makes its pass in the 10-second range, and the video admits the tires on the production version would take just a touch longer to cover the quarter-mile. However, you have to watch film to see just how quick it actually goes. Scroll down to see a classic example of American muscle drag racing against its modern legacy.
Dodge Charger Pursuit nets quickest lap in police car test
Mon, 30 Sep 2013We wouldn't advocate trying to outrun the police, no matter what you're driving and no matter what they are. But if you see a Dodge Charger bearing down on you with blue lights flashing in your rearview mirror, you'd better think twice before attempting to flee, because the Charger Pursuit has once again emerged as the fastest police cruiser out there.
In the latest Police Vehicle Evaluation held by the Michigan State Police at Grattan Raceway, Dodge says its new Charger Pursuit AWD posted a lap time of 1:33.85. That's quicker than any of the other law enforcement vehicles present, but also makes it the quickest all-wheel-drive cruiser available to law-enforcement officials. That may not make it the quickest of all time, but that honor belongs to the rear-drive Dodge Charger Pursuit, which cuts a fraction of a second off its AWD counterpart's time with a 1:33.70. But in regions where the extra traction could come in handy, that's as negligible a difference as we've ever seen.
Of course, the annual PVE sessions held by the Michigan State Police take in to account a wide variety of performance tests, including top speed, acceleration, braking, handling, fuel economy and ergonomics. The MSP has yet to reveal its full findings from its 2014 model year tests, but we'll be sure to bring them to you when they are published.
