If there is one thing that all car enthusiasts can agree on, it is
that the '68-'70 Charger is a killer looking car. The passage of
time has not harmed the styling and attraction of this 1968 Dodge
Charger's unique body shape one bit, but adding a dose of modern
technology brings it forward into the 21st century. In this
instance, that means the custom installation of a Gen III Hemi V8
engine further enhanced by Bouchillon Performance to wring out 525
horses of reliable power.
The pros at Big Hemi in Fort Wayne Indiana get the nod for this
stylish and well throughout resto mod build, which is their
specialty. The 6.4L mill is expertly nestled into a show worthy
engine compartment complete with a smoothed firewall, billet
aluminum hood hinges, and modern cooling system. This is backed by
a 5 speed automatic overdrive transmission and ends in a Chrysler 8
� inch differential. The underpinnings have been retrofitted coil
over shock suspension front and rear, replacing the antiquated
torsion bar and leaf spring setup installed at the factory. Power
rack and pinion steering and power disc brakes with Hydroboost also
add to the modern day ride characteristics.
The exterior retains the factory cues, covered in deep metallic
Black paint with thin black R/T stripes and a black vinyl top. The
custom interior also pays homage to the original design with moder
power bucket seats custom upholstered era-correct Charger patterns.
Brushed stainless steel gauge faces modernize the dash while a
custom center console hosts the pistol grip B&M shifter, and
custom storage. In the dash there is modern air conditioning, a
tilting sport steering wheel, and a custom Sony stereo system with
Bluetooth connectivity. The car is set to a menacing stance, aided
by highly polished 19x8 Boze 2-piece forged front wheels and 20x12
Boze 2-piece forged rear wheels, wearing low-profile Continental
Extreme Contact tires to allow for stellar performance and
excellent road manners. There are good reasons to be nostalgic for
the past, but for those who like yesterday's look with modern
horsepower, this 1968 Charger is ready to rumble. Call us today to
make it yours!
