Interesting 68 Dodge Charger Project

vengeance52

I was glancing through the classifieds on Pistonheads, which is a regular occurance for me, and i was having a look at classic dodgers charge when i came across this ad. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/725972.htm

Was reading the ad, when i saw the guy added a link to his restoration of the car and i found it a good read. Id love to be able to do something like that.

check out the project here. http://www.68charger.co.uk/

Id love that car, looks fantastic.

3 speed manual!? Back in the days when fuel economy wasn't a concern!

I'd rather go for an R/T version with the 4 speed gearbox, it was a shame though so many were destroyed for that stupid 'Dukes of Hazzard' show. :mad:

i see that car, and i think of that scence in bullit, not the chase, but before the chase starts, with the charger crusing after mcqueen in the mustang. such a stunning car.

Yea the R/T440 would be the best choice, but that aint a bad model.

There are a few in the American Car Club, and the dark green one showed up at our Boards classic meeting at the Coachmans a few weeks back, one of the guys that helped organise it owns it, and another one.

A good few of the lads on here know him.

Lovely cars, hard to find good ones now though !

This particular car isnt for sale, but the same guy has a '69 that is nearing the end of a complete restoration that will be for sale. Would you have an interest?

That photograph was taken at the Moynalty Steam Threshing in Co. Meath if memory serves, thats my Galaxie 500 on the left of the Charger.

I think the meet ups and cruises have dried up until the New Year. There will probably be another informal one organised by MercMad at some stage.

Come rain or shine we try to get out a couple of times each month so lettuce know dude. Personally I prefer meet ups and a cruise then sitting round at a show all day. Like the Galaxie dude - were ya part of the Kilbeggan gig this year man?

You're far better off. Those cars thrive on regular exercise.

Unfortunetly I didnt make it to Kilbeggan this year. Always a good turn out.
