Sure, the 2015 Challenger and Charger Hellcat play the bang-for-buck card, but, even so, not everybody affords to grab one of these and head across the country for a road trip. Fret not, there are aficionados out there who know how to live happily ever after, with a muscular slab of America while keeping the budget low.
Let’s take the owner of the 1968 Charger in the videos below for example. This is a story about a man who is enjoying his everyday life with a Charger that’s far from mint condition, but works well enough to put a smile on that face.

The car used to belong to his father, but, for reasons that elude us, the man put the Mopar machine on hold for some 25 years.

The family decided to revive it back in 2010 and we’ve added a video below to show the emotional moment when they all get together and convince that V8 to breathe again.

The new driver of the Charger was so happy with his Dodge that he kept uploading video over the years. This is clearly not one of those cases when someone is looking to ride the internet stardom wave. Instead, we’re dealing with a guy who is enjoying his motoring life.

Earlier this month, the man uploaded a new clip, just to tell us his Charger now has new wheels. As for the hub cap wheels the car had been gifted with, these went straight on the family truck, a 1970 Dodge D100 Sweptline.
