1968 DODGE CHARGER
SOLD - $100,000 + BP
MODEL OVERVIEW:
The 1968 Dodge Charger marked a turning point for American muscle car design, introducing the dramatic second-generation body that cemented the Charger as an icon. Its long, sweeping fastback roofline with distinctive flying buttresses, full-width hidden headlamp grille, and aggressive Coke-bottle stance gave it a presence unmatched by its contemporaries. Built on Chrysler’s B-body platform, the ’68 Charger combined bold styling with serious performance credentials, offering a wide engine range that spanned from dependable small-block V8s through to big-block powerhouses, including the fearsome 426 Hemi. Immortalised in motorsport, film, and popular culture, the 1968 Dodge Charger remains one of the most recognisable and desirable muscle cars of the classic chrome bumper era.

AUCTION CAR:
DRIVE - LINE:
Power is supplied by the factory 318 cubic inch V8, paired with the TorqueFlite automatic transmission, along with factory power steering. For improved drivability and safety, the car has been fitted with upgraded front disc brakes and a power brake booster. Importantly, all original removed components are supplied with the sale, allowing the vehicle to be returned to full factory specification if desired.
The original wheels with ply tyres (as photographed) are included, with a secondary set of wheels are fitted with radial tyres used for driving duties. Aside from these sympathetic upgrades, the drivetrain remains unmodified and true to original specification.
EXTERIOR:
The exterior retains its remarkable original factory paintwork over a dry, corrosion-free body, presenting with the honest character and depth that only genuine long-term preservation can deliver. Panel alignment is exceptionally straight and is highlighted by an outstanding original grille and trim, along with unmarked tail lights rarely seen on survivor cars of this era. Chrome, trim, and glass remain in excellent original condition throughout, reinforcing the Charger’s authenticity and elevating this example well beyond the norm for unrestored vehicles.
INTERIOR:
Inside, the Charger retains its fully original interior trim, materials, and finishes, presenting in remarkable condition for its age. The dashboard, gauges, and instruments remain crisp and clear, reflecting exceptional preservation and careful ownership. The seating remains untouched by restoration or modification and presents in some of the best original condition we have seen, offering an invaluable reference point for collectors and marque enthusiasts who value authenticity over replacement.
SUMMARY:
An outstanding 1968 Dodge Charger survivor, retaining its original paint, interior, drivetrain, and documentation from new, complemented by sympathetic safety upgrades with all original components included. This is a true collector-grade example — museum quality, historically intact, and increasingly difficult to replace.
A rare opportunity to secure an authentic American muscle car valued for preservation, provenance, and long-term significance.
