I had a 69 R/T back in the day. I bought it for $400 because the transmission made a loud noise. $11. for a bearing and I had a nice ride. She had a 383 Magnum package, but was almost as fast as my buddy's 68 440. Sweet cars. Two of my Buddys still have their 68's . I'd like another, but two more zero's will be tacked on the price I paid in the 70's.
they do not take corners very well the turning radius sucks they do have a nice soft ride to them. the clock almost never works . watch out for the left side motor mounts they like to brake motor raises wide open throttle the ass end likes to walk to the right when getting rubber. other than that i love em
If you really want to be picky about factory correctness, some things that would need to be changed are; air cleaner, valve covers, headers, carb, intake, PCV system, ICM, volt reg, plug wires, alternator pulley, booster finish, throttle bracket/dist clamp finish & belts. The rear wide stripe should be centered in the side marker light.
As they say, 'wouldn't throw her out for eating cookies... To add to the list, you can't boast about clamps @3:59 while using cheap screw clamps @4:11 on the heater hoses (water pump side). But, I'm sure he's enjoying his bank account. :-)
My uncle bought one of these new as it was less expensive to insure compared to the Hemi ‘68 Charger. 120mph speedometer he said would go up to where 160mph should’ve been.
@97jag440 440's in 1968 440's were chrysler blue, 1969 the 440's were orange. The chrome valve covers, the chrome air cleaner, and the intake are all after market and not original. The dana rear end I am even doubting is original. I could have sworn they were all 8 3/4 with 3:32, 3:54, or maybe the 3:91. I thought the dana was introduced in 1969.
j rush ya i was wrong lol been a while since i got something on the mopars wrong the 340 in the 71 dusters with the 340 wedge hood decal were also painted hemi orange
My brand new 68 RT had a wrinkle finish black air clean it was 2 nozzles on it And I believe the automatic choke ran off of a bimatalic element in the intake manifold....Just want to know i sold it in 1970. Is there a way to find my RT?
speaking of detail, why would you lean up against that car with that great big belt buckle and your shirt pulled up to try and scratch the paint on the car?
nice car but the 440 should be painted orange not blue only small blocks were blue excluding the 340 in the high performance cars like the T/A challenger AAR cuda and 340 dusters, darts, and demons
j rush No, it's the wrong shade of blue. It's not supposed to be a baby blue. It's supposed to be turquoise. 1968 440 V8 All Turquoise Mopar Paint P4120752
Naw, that's blue. Turquoise is a greener shade. www.dickson-constant.com/medias/images/catalogue/api/6688-turquoise-680.jpg -- that is the right colour. The colour of this engine is wrong, because it's this colour: img1.findthebest.com/sites/default/files/2307/media/images/t2/Baby_Blue_429626_i0.png
air cleaner cover wrong, should be wrinkle finish, value covers wrong should be engine color not crome, intake suspect to, and so sure hes right on the bb stripe to and thats not a tic tac toc, its just a clock, lets see the vin# tag on the dash!
+god God. Half the reason its no fun to take a Mopar to a car show Is You always have to deal with the "experts" who try to tear the car apart, nitpicking over factory correct valve stems and air cleaners for some reason after you spent 12 years restoring it. Then they hop in their honda and go home to watch Barrett Jackson. But to be fair, if I was looking at a 68 charger and they want $60,000 for it, Id probably want to open the floodgates of what's wrong with it lol. . Holy shit it's a rich man's game anymore

My first new car was a 1969 Plymouth Road Runner. Yellow with white interior.
You have no idea how long I've waited for u guys to get a Charger. Absolutely gorgeous.
Nice Charger.Thanks for sharing!

You clearly know your stuff. Also it sounds like you have done a ton of the
work yourself. Your clearly a straight shooter and NO BS.. Great video..

No, in 1968, the 440 was turquoise, not blue. Blue was an alternate colour in 1970, not 68..
Chris Pappas yep..my 68 Charger 440 engine was blue (torquoise) just like the one in the vid
what a beautiful machine
Steve McQueen 68 Charger Bullit
My brand new 68 RT had a wrinkle finish black air clean it was 2 nozzles on it
And I believe the automatic choke ran off of a bimatalic element in the intake manifold....Just want to know i sold it in 1970. Is there a way to find my RT?

They probably put a 440 from a 1970 in it, which could be blue or turquoise.
That engine belongs in a jet ski, dough!!😭😭😭
The engine color is fine, that's Chrysler turquoise.
Naw, that's blue. Turquoise is a greener shade.
