The R/T was one of the best Chargers you could get back in 1968, as the car was offered as standard with the 440 Magnum engine originally introduced only a year before. A 426 Hemi was offered as optional for the ’68 R/T.
The Charger you’re looking at here is a 1968 model fitted with the standard 440-cubic inch (7.2-liter) engine and paired with an automatic transmission. Listed for sale on Craigslist, the car comes with both good things and bad things, and you’re going to discover them all in a few seconds.
The first thing you need to know is the engine was originally running, but the owner took it apart for a repaint. “It still needs a few things assembled to fire up again,” reads the listing, so make sure you keep this in mind if you plan to buy the Charger.
The bad news is the numbers don’t match on this Dodge, so if you were hoping to get an all-original survivor to restore, this isn’t the one. The good news, on the other hand, is the car is complete, and according to the post on Craigslist, it comes with all the parts that are pretty hard to get for a 1968 Charger.
As you can see for yourselves in the gallery here, the car was painted in red, but it’s pretty clear the body has seen better days. The same goes for the black interior, with the seats obviously needing some major fixes if what you’re aiming for is a tip-top condition.
On the other hand, if you’re in the market for a project car that wouldn’t require you to search the web day and night looking for parts, this Charger right here is definitely worth a look. It’s not an affordable model though, as the seller wants $39,500 for the car. It’s parked near Brentwood, California, if you want to check it out in person.
