Custom 1968 Dodge Charger with Mystery V8 Looks Like It Was Made for Dominic Toretto

It’s a good thing we did though, because Richard Sias’ design is still widely regarded as one of the most glorious takes on an American classic to this day. From the curvaceous front fender and rear quarter panels to the Group 7 racer-like rear end, the second-gen Charger is a beautiful thing to behold, and do rest assured as these cars weren’t all show and no go.

Before we talk about the performance, let’s touch on some of its other noteworthy visual traits, such as the full-width grille with hidden headlights and dual circular taillights instead of full-width ones.

What’s particularly interesting is that Dodge intentionally made the second-gen Charger feel less upscale than its predecessor, which was fairly evident inside, where you got a fixed rear bench instead of folding bucket seats, and a vinyl mat for the trunk instead of carpeting. There was also no central armrest, and the tachometer was now optional.

Of course, if you’re in the market for one such vehicle that’s been heavily modified, you really shouldn’t worry about the “stock experience.”

Take this 1968 Charger in Burgundy Metallic for example – it's up for grabs to the highest bidder after undergoing heavy modifications over a 10-year period. Whichever way you look at it, this is one seriously “bad” boy.

From the LED headlights and taillights to the polished oval dual tailpipes, re-chromed bits, or the black-accented 17-inch American Racing wheels with Toyota Extensa HP tires, you can tell that a lot of effort was put into this build.

This car also comes with a Magnum Force B-Body front subframe and suspension, power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering, forward strut-plate kit, XRT Engineered Solutions suspension components, front and rear sway bars, tubular subframe connectors, reinforced torque boxes, and Viking Performance double-adjustable coilovers. You also get custom power-assisted, black-finished calipers with 13” slotted and drilled rotors.

Meanwhile, interior highlights include the custom black leather front bucket seats, red accents, a climate control system, remote door lock system, center console, a Pioneer infotainment system with aftermarket speakers and an ARC Audio subwoofer, plus a custom Billet Specialties steering wheel, among other goodies.

As for the engine, it used to be a factory-standard 383 ci V8 with a four-barrel carburetor. Well, it’s gone now, having been replaced by an aluminum 572 ci HEMI V8 built by FHO (For Hemis Only).

The custom power unit features electric cooling fans, high volume oil and water pumps, MSD digital ignition box, coil and distributor, custom intake manifold, aluminum cylinder heads, forged pistons, rings and pins, a custom-grind roller camshaft, forged crankshaft and way, way more.

According to the seller, this Charger is putting down no fewer than 780 horsepower, with everything going to the rear wheels via a Tremec Magnum six-speed manual gearbox. This thing is not for the faint of heart.
