This 1968 Dodge Charger was produced as an R/T model in Hamtramck, Michigan on May 23, 1968, with a 440ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission. It was refurbished and fitted with a 426ci Hemi V8. Subsequent modifications involved the installation of a Tremec five-speed manual transmission, a FiTech fuel-injection system, a custom suspension with front and rear coilovers, rack-and-pinion steering, tubular headers, Borla mufflers, power-assisted Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes, American Racing 20″ wheels, a Hurst shifter, a push-button starter, tilt steering, air conditioning, power windows, and digital gauges. Finished in blue over black vinyl upholstery, the car also has a black vinyl top, black R/T tail stripes, concealed headlights, front bucket seats, a center console, an AM radio, and a woodgrain steering wheel.
The replacement 426ci Hemi V8 have been rebuilt and stroked before it was fitted with a FiTech dual-quad-style fuel-injection system. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Tremec five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip rear end with 3.54:1 gearing. The dual exhaust system features tubular headers, an X-pipe, and Borla mufflers.
Delivered from the factory in Bright Blue Metallic (QQ1), the car have been placed on a rotisserie and repainted. Features include concealed headlights, hood-mounted turn-signal indicators, Hemi door badges, a black vinyl top, a polished fuel-filler cap, and black R/T tail stripes.
American Racing 20″ wheels are finished in black with polished lips and are mounted with 255/35 front and 345/30 rear Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. A painted steel wheel with a Firestone bias-ply red-line tire is stowed in the trunk. A custom independent front suspension and front and rear coilovers were installed along with rack-and-pinion steering. Braking is provided by a power-assisted Wilwood system with slotted and cross-drilled rotors at all four corners as well as six-piston front calipers and four-piston rears. The Wilwood master cylinder was serviced in preparation for the sale.
The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench trimmed in black vinyl with silver-colored accents. Equipment includes a push-button starter, power windows, a Classic Auto Air climate-control system, a Dodge Solid State AM radio, a Hurst shifter, and a center console with a locking storage bin. The air conditioning was serviced in preparation for the sale.
The woodgrain steering wheel features a Mopar-branded center cap, and it frames digital instrumentation that includes an 8k-rpm tachometer, a 160-mph speedometer, and auxiliary gauges.
The LCD odometer shows less than 700 miles, and total mileage is unknown.
