Description

The entire B-body lineup for 1968 was redesigned and the Charger was further differentiated from the Dodge Coronet models. Designer Richard Sias developed a double-diamond coke bottle profile with curves around the front fenders and rear quarter panels. Front and rear end sheet metal was designed by Harvey J. Winn. The rear end featured a "kick up" spoiler appearance, inspired by Group 7 racing vehicles. On the roof, a "flying buttress" was added to give the rear window area a look similar to that of the 1966-67 Pontiac GTO. The Charger retained its full-width hidden headlight grille, but the fully rotating electric headlights had been replaced by a simple vacuum operated cover. The full-width taillights were gone as well. Instead, dual circular taillights were added at the direction of Styling Vice President, Elwood P. Engel. Dual scallops were added to the doors and hood to help accent the new swoopy lines.Inside, the interior shared almost nothing with its first generation brothers. The rear bucket seats were gone, though the console remained the same as the '67 save for the removal of the armrest cushion. The tachometer was now optional instead of standard, the carpeting in the trunk area was gone, replaced by a vinyl mat, the rear seats did not fold forward and the electroluminescent gauges disappeared in favor of a conventional design.This particular car is a true, two owner, 46,000 original mile car that has spent its entire life in Illinois. We have a copy of the original title that shows the car was purchased on May 10, 1968 in Caseyville Illinois. On the back, it still shows the reassignment to the second owner who we purchased the car from who has only had the car for less then a year. The car still retains the original build sheet under the rear seat as you can see in the photos. The paint appears to be all original on the car with no restoration ever being done to the body. Both front and rear bumpers are in very good original condition and show that the car was owned by a Military family on Scott Air Force Base. Inside, the seats are in great condition and are finished in the original colors of blue. The carpet is new from Classic Industries and looks great. The dash is solid with no cracking or buckling. Door panels are in good condition but do show some spots of repair. All gauges are in good working order along with the lights, blinkers, horn and wipers. Under the hood, the motor is believed to be the original 318 Cu In V8 that came with the car. The car does have power steering and A/C which does blow. The engine bay is nicely detailed and looks nearly as good as it did the day it came out of the factory. Turn the key and this great running Charger comes to life with no hesitation. On the road the car drives straight and true like a 46,000 mile car should. The VIN number is XP29F8G231853 and is being sold a clean Illinois title. A copy of the original, 1968 title is included with purchase. Current mileage shows 46,700 and is said to be original for the car.
