Vehicle Description
This is the car that started a revolution. The 1968 Dodge Charger
was the first year of the now legendary second-generation of these
muscle cars. But you'll not only love the history on this one, but
it also has been restored and upgraded to deliver plenty of
performance with the upgraded V8 and four-wheel disc brakes.
The Coke bottle styling, the hidden headlights, the pillarless
hardtop body, and those flying buttresses surrounding the rear
window: this coupe was designed to make an impact. Because this was
the debut of the new style, it was sales success for Dodge. And
yet, they still were far less made than Ford or Chevy. That's what
keeps these cars in demand. So it's always a treat to find a rarer
Mopar with great sheetmetal, because it makes for a terrific canvas
to show off the red. It's the factory-correct color, but there's a
seriously slick look thanks to a more modern and professional
application. The clearcoat shine accents the little details like
the scalloped hood with matching marks in the doors, and the
spoiler that's built in the rear deck. Plus, the black bumblebee
stripes in the rear coordinates with the premium black vinyl roof.
They both go with the blacked-out front and rear to deliver a great
total package. Plus, not only do the polished Budnik wheels look
nice against the chrome bumpers, but also these modern alloys hint
at more upgrades within.
The black accents on the outside get you ready for the all-black
interior. Plush bucket seats, thick carpeting, and a center console
deliver a terrific blend of luxury and performance. There are
plenty of vintage pieces you'll love, like the three-spoke sports
steering wheel, bright gearstick, desirable tic-toc-tach. Plus, it
remains great for modern driving with some great upgrades like the
auxiliary gauge trio, and AM/FM/CD stereo w/aux input for your
iPod.
Under the hood is a clean and mean 383 cubic-inch V8. All the
components have a tidy look of investment, and the Mopar ribbed
valve covers deliver extra flair. Plus, the mighty motor has all
the right go-fast goodies. This includes Edelbrock aluminum heads,
Quick Fuel four-barrel carburetor, an aluminum intake, and long
tube headers feeding the H-pipe dual exhaust. You have the right
supporting components, too, like large aluminum radiator and
electric fan to help keep this one running cool. In fact, this is
built with all-around driving appeal in mind. The TorqueFlite A727
three-speed automatic transmission is stout enough to handle all
the power and smooth enough for easy cruising. There's also power
steering, grippy modern sport tires, and drilled & slotted
four-wheel disc brakes.
This is the first-year Charger that will impress you with the way
it drives and impress everyone with the way it looks. That makes
for an outstanding Mopar you need to get your hands on. Call
