This is the car that started a revolution. The 1968 Dodge Charger was the first year of the now legendary blocky second-generation design. That's why hardtops are always in demand, and it's also why you already know you need to move fast on this bright green machine with its fresh big block power. Because coupes of this caliber vanish as quickly as they appear.The Coke bottle styling, the hidden headlights, the pillarless hardtop body, and those flying buttresses surrounding the rear window this coupe was designed to make an impact. But while '68 was a great sales year for Chargers, they still were far less than Ford or Chevy. That's what keeps these cars in demand. It's always a treat to find a Mopar with great sheetmetal, because it makes for a terrific canvas to apply an iconic High Impact hue... and arguably there's nothing bolder than Sublime Green. The electric shine accents the little details like the scalloped hood with matching marks in the doors, and the spoiler that's built in the rear deck. Plus, the black bumblebee stripes in the rear are a nice preview of the interior. Bright chrome bumpers, first-year twin taillights, a flip-up gas cap, and nice stainless trim make this a car you'll be proud to call your own. The final touch to this bold and premium package is the set of Mag wheels, which are an iconic must-have for any classic Mopar.The Charger's interior was a triumphant blend of luxury and performance, and this one has been preserved to present it all in great vintage style. Deep, dark seats look great against the bold exterior green, and there's plenty of room in the back to share this atmosphere with family and friends. Up front, there are bucket seats with a slick center console and cool chrome shifter that's pure Mopar. It's a gentleman's hot rod that was a highly optioned car from the factory with everything from controls for air conditioning to the rallye gauge cluster. You even have the correct three-spoke factory wheel with Dodge's cool "Fratzog" logo to keep the atmosphere truly vintage.But what really makes this car a legend is in the engine bay. This coupe earns its bold appearance with a 440 cubic-inch big block V8 under the hood. And the reason why it looks exceptionally clean in the engine bay is because it was rebuilt in the last year. This fresh beast was given enhancements like an Edelbrock intake, MSD ignition, and Hedman long tube headers. That last component not only adds power, but it also contributes to the thunderous roar that lets everyone know you've got some serious big block power. But more than just pure muscle, a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and BF Goodrich T/As make this big block brute quite easy to live with.Complete with build receipts, here's everything you want in a classic Mopar. It has a glowing green body that always gets attention. Plus, the rumbling big block has enough power to be intimidating, but it's also built to also be easy to take on a spontaneous Sunday drive. So now you know why this rare and fast Charger will be leaving us soon. Call now!!
