leojmcca's 1968 Dodge Charger So Cal, CA Customized with Flowmaster Exhaust, Cragar Wheels, BF Goodrich Tires - 27

Car is almost all stock. 383 Magnum (H-Code 330 horsepower) with a 727 automatic tranny, 323 Sure Grip rear gears. The color is B5 blue with a light/dark blue interior.
Production figures indicate that a total of 18,754 of the 92,590 1968 Chargers were powered by a 383-4 bbl which had 330 HP

My finshed projects include removing the front/rear bumpers, door handles for rechroming. Changing out the tail lights and the surrounding trim. Painting the rear panel black. Adding a bumble bee strip, replacing the side marker lights, new "C" and check moulding on the rear tail panel. Installed new seat covers, headliner, carpet. Repainted the front grille, new emblems all around.

I'll take pics as I do it. One thing you learn real quick about these cars are that they are not cheap! The prices may seem high for the reporduction parts, but I'm just glad they are reproducing the parts for this car!

Always get this car looks like the 68 Charger from the movie Christine. It is basically the same car.
Pictures from the movie and a danbury diecast model of the car (if anyone has a diecast for sale, contact me).

Future plan is to buy a 2009 Challenger. I'm waiting for the hype to be over with the 2008 models. In addition, just like the new mustang, new options and variations of the car came out over time. I'm hoping for a shaker hood option, an R/T version and maybe they'll offer a 426 hemi motor option under the hood for old times sake!
