1968 Dodge Charger Base Hardtop 2-door 7.2l on 2040-cars
Sharon, Wisconsin, United States

1968 Dodge Charger hard top with 1968 440 4bl engine and 727 transmission. Car was originally fit with a 383 engine. This is a super nice project restoration for someone to do. The correct color of this car is green, someone at on time repainted it. I'm not sure if the interior is from a 69 or 68 Charger or not. I have owned this car since 2007 and have decided to let it go to someone who is good with Mopars or has that damn bug of restoring true classics to keep them on the road. If you look closely at the pictures you can see that the interior is all there from dashboard to rear seats just waiting for proper attention. The dash is in good shape with the exception that there is a small crack in the middle of it, nothing major or distracting. This is not a basket case car like a number of them that you will come across. The chrome trim is in wonderful shape as well as the door and rear window glass. There is a small round rock chip in the windshield. The passenger compartment floors are in not too bad of shape. There are some rust holes in front of the front seat section and slight surface rust in the rear. The roof is solid with just light surface rust. The panel just below the window is solid and not rotted out . I ripped out the shag carpet(?) that was on the floor to see what was under there. I was pleasently surprised to find what I found, solid under the front seat and in the rear.. The rear is fine. The rear trunk floor area will have to be replaced as you can see in the pictures. On the passenger side rear roof where around where you would attach a complete quarter panel there is a slight indentation. No worries due to you would be replacing the rear quarters with full ones anyway. The outer rockers will need to be replaced. The rear quarters will need replacing, the outer wheel wells will need replacing, the front fenders will need replacing, the doors are solid and seem to be from a 69 Charger due to the door lock position on them. I would prefer to have them that way to keep the thieves from unlocking and stealing the car, at least slow them down if they decide not to destroy the windows. The rear trunk lid can use a little media blasting to clean them up. The front hood could also use media blasting. This is an A/C car by the way. It looks to have been converted from a column shift to a floor shift. The floor console has a crack to the rear of it and all of the windows roll up,down and are unbroken. You are not going to be able to just get in and drive as I mentioned there is no engine in the car. This is a super nice project car for someone. .....Did I forget to mention that there will be extra parts such as doors from a 68 Charger--these are shells, There are also another 2 pair of doors that have windows in them that are rust free. There are a total of 6 doors that are original and mostly rust free. Two of the doors have a small dent, nothing major, the shells have a small amount of rust and bondo on them. I bought 2 front fenders that were from a 69 Charger that have some rust on them but nothing that concerns me, I could make them work fine as they are far better than what's on the car right now. There are also a (couple) of replacement front grills that will be going with the car too. One is from a 68 Charger and the other is the frame with a partial grill with damage to the left plastic section from a 69 Charger. These are not after market parts, all original Mopar products. Very expensive and difficult to locate. There are seat covers that are tan in color that are new from Legendary Interiors that I was going to dye and install that are going with the car. I also have a front bumper that is in good driver condition and a front used valance panel that goes with this car from a 69 Charger. I have a rear bumper with the frame attached from a 69 Charger that also goes....There's a nice floor shift console with the shifter connected to a floor section to be welded in a car that you may want to convert that was cut out of the donor car that is in great shape too. I have a left and right front fender splash shields that are also included. There are 2 very nice tail lamps with the housing that are included. There are at least 5 Charger script emblems and 2 badges that go along also. Lots of car and lots of parts....If you bought this car with parts included for, lets just say 11,000.00 and put what would be about 5000.00 in parts into it, if done right you could have a car worth twice as much or more, and have a very nice investment or collectors bragging rights. You do the math. You make the bid, bid to win, you're going to get a great deal. I think I forgot to mention that this car has a posi rear end. I don't know the make, but I sure as hell know it's there. If you need more information, email and I will answer as soon as I can. To be fair to bidders I do not give the reserve price, you'll have to bid the highest on what it's worth to you. This car is for sale not for bidders to bid and then decide if you want it or not. I don't play that, I'm serious. This is a binding contract and I will treat it that way. Once you bought it, it is yours. If you can't afford to bid please don't. If you have less than 10 feedbacks, or more than 2 neg. feedbacks and would like to bid contact me first or you may be cancelled out. This car is also being sold locally and I have the right to end this auction early. I try to be straight with you and I expect the same. Thanks for looking and bid to win. Good Day.

Dodge celebrates centennial with Charger and Challenger 100th Anniversary Editions
Tue, 19 Nov 2013In 1914, the Dodge brothers went from being a parts supplier to a full-scale automaker, and to celebrate the centennial of this milestone, Dodge will offer special editions of the 2014 Charger and Challenger early next year. Both cars will be sold in limited numbers (although no specific number was given), and these cars will stand out thanks to unique touches like 20-inch wheels, 100th anniversary edition logos and the exclusive High Octane Red Pearl Coat paint job (shown above).
The 100th Anniversary Edition package, which runs $2,200 on the 2014 Charger and $2,500 on the 2014 Challenger, comes with red or black leather seats with a cloud print (for a denim-like look) and metal badges on the seatbacks that read "Dodge Est. 1914," while similar logos are also found on the wheel center caps and front fenders. The instrument gauges are unique to each car, with the Charger getting black gauges and the Challenger getting white gauges, and to enunciate the 100-year anniversary, both cars have red numerals on the speedometer for the 100-mile-per-hour mark.
Finishing off the 100th Anniversary Edition cars, which will be offered on V6 and R/T models, Dodge adds a flat-bottom steering wheel and embroidered floor mats as a part of the package. Scroll down for the full press release for these commemorative models.
Dodge gives 2015 Viper slight power increase, new GT model
Tue, 02 Sep 2014With its troubling sales figures, the newly rechristened SRT Dodge Viper needs to come out swinging for 2015. To do that, Dodge has made a number of tweaks and changes that will hopefully carry the V10-powered sports car into more successful days.
First up for 2015 is a new GT model, which aims to marry the reasonable price of the base car with the adjustable suspension and trick stability control program of the GTS model. The GT also sports a cabin that's covered in Alcantara suede and Nappa leather as standard.
Also new for 2015 is the SRT TA 2.0 Special Edition, which expands on last year's Viper TA by adding new aerodynamic bits and bobs, including a larger rear wing, which ups downforce at 150 miles per hour from 278 pounds to 400 pounds.
Marchionne on Alfa's US return, Dodge Dart's powertrain weakness and minivan plans
Fri, 18 Jan 2013As a reporter covering an auto show, the one opportunity you never want to miss is going to the Sergio Marchionne press briefing.
"This undertaking to bring Alfa back is a one-shot deal... We are not going to do this twice."
There just aren't that many real characters left in the auto industry. Marchionne, who sits atop both Chrysler and Fiat, is not only one of the smartest execs in the business, but also the most frank. Herein, a sample of the quotable always-sweatered executive:
