Click the floor

shifted Torque Flite 727 in drive and 7. 2 liters of

old-school torque lights up the rear end. pretty much at

will.

This amazing Charger tracks down the road

laser straight. smooth and vibration free.

It

simply goes. turns and stops better than any

Charger did when new . . .

A milestone classic. the redesigned

2 nd generation Charger was an instant runaway hit.

out-selling the previous model six times over.

Doors. hood and trunk on this car open easily. close

solid/rattle free and clear glass glides up and down

smoothly . . .

The camera loves a '68 Charger. no

matter the angle.

Tunneled rear window and racy

C-pillars are '60 s right-on cool. man! Bumble-bee

stripes. redlines. black-out tail light panel and a

pop-open fuel cap.

And this big engine Charger definitely

gets the respect.

"440" is all you have to say . . .

Hard not to stare at a 1968 Charger.

especially from back here and especially with rare

quality body. chrome and trim that looks diamond beautiful

no matter how close or how long you stare . . .

Perhaps the most famous '68 Charger of all

time. here about to meet its demise in the most remembered chase

scene in movie history.

(Bullitt with Steve Mc Queen)

In real life. an R/T Charger would likely wax the floor with

a Mustang . . .

Besides a factory vinyl top. our car has a

boat load of options: Sure-Grip rear end. power steering.

power front disc brakes. a console. sport steering wheel.

hood blinkers. dual outside mirrors. head rests. am/fm radio

and more . . .

Few muscle car classics turn up the heat

like a 2 nd generation Charger.

92. 90 people took

delivery of the new Dodge sensation in 1968 but just 17. 55

were ordered up in handsome R/T trim.

R/Ts came

standard with a high performance 440 and included lots of

go-fast. drive train and suspension goodies.

This car

tops that with modern upgrades top

market buyers demand.

Power front disc brake conversion. rebuilt steering and suspension.

electronic ignition and steel belted radials.

The

result is a well sorted. attention-getting legend that

starts instantly. does not over heat and inspires immediate

confidence behind the wheel.

It's a big ticket

investment you can take across town. drive every day to work

or take across the country.

The quality is that good.

Quality you can see and quality you will know before

you've driven your first mile.

A rare car these days

with rare quality like this is

definitely expensive but you could spend double or more

building your own and it likely still wouldn't be as nice .

Previous owner also had a modern

Charger in the same color with the same stripe.

His original version (this car) won several awards . . .

A note from the owner.

I am a “used car dealer” but before that.

I'm an automobile enthusiast.

I love original rare and high

quality modified vintage cars and over the past decade I've

been in business. have come to appreciate an expanding

selection of high-demand. high value vehicles.

I specialize

in and am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that

were cherished by their previous owners.

I have an

experienced eye for quality but I've discovered that my

preferred buyer can instantly discern such a vehicle and I

have therefore. built my business and reputation around

finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer.

Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict

requirements but a car must do something for me on a

personal level if there is any hope of convincing you. the

bidder. that this is an above average. exceptional

vehicle.

If nothing about the car excites me. it probably

won't do much for you either and I would soon be out of

business.

With just four employees and no sales

people. I realize how unusual a “dealership” like mine may

at first glance appear.

It has taken great care and effort

to create such an organization and often. an unusually high

investment in a particular car we are about to list.

To

sell the best it is critical to have a trusted expert in my

corner and Chris. owner of

A-Best Auto Repair

in Henderson. Nevada has my back.

He and his crew can fix

anything from a low budget beater to the absolute

most expensive exotic you can name. no job is too big and no

small detail unimportant.

They do an exhaustive 130 point

inspection on each and every vehicle and nothing escapes

their methodical investigation.

Experience has shown that

everything I spend making a car truly “right” will come back

to me not only with a higher selling price. but a happy

customer that says good things about me.

Moreover it

allows my writer to describe the car with ease and

confidence. something that simply is not possible unless

he thinks it is true.

If major issues are found or the

cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too

expensive to sell. my choice is an easy one.

I simply

absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it

at auction.

After the vehicle is fully sorted it

arrives at our facility where it encounters the suspicious

eye of Tom. my writer that creates the presentations you see

on e Bay.

He believes absolutely nothing I or anyone else

tells him about the car as he combs over every inch.

researches its history and documents originality and

authenticity.

Historical significance. rarity. special

features. possible modifications and much more are used to

accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty.

Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 150

high resolution pictures that I take myself.

The pricey

equipment I use would be right at home in the hands of the

very best professional photographers and I've developed a

logical format that walks you around the entire vehicle with

close-up shots of every square inch.

I provide detailed

views of the interior. under the hood and then put it on a

lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the beauty

of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep.

Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they so

meticulously clean.

This reconditioning can sometimes take

several days and I've converted a paint booth. especially

prepared for the professional clay bar and polishing each

car lovingly receives.

Usually. I'll also include a high

definition video that shows the car doing its thing.

If

it's a fast car. we film it going fast.

If it's a 4 x 4

you'll see it crawling up a hill.

In every case you will

hear things like a rumbling exhaust. working sound system

and watch the temperature fall on a digital. laser

thermometer pointed at an air conditioning vent.

How many

“dealers” will video a Lotus Esprit doing a buck-eighty? We

do.

No “dealer. on-line or in the real

world. takes it to this level.

No other seller or

organization provides you. the buyer. with so much

information.

I do this because it is the only way I can

convince a person often a world away. unable to touch or

feel their purchase. that my vehicle is for real and what I

say is the truth.

All the above is necessary for me to stay

in business while keeping integrity intact.

I want every

buyer to be happy and I need glowing feedback on

e Bay.

To accomplish that I need satisfied customers that

are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when I bought

it.

If you have any questions at all. please

call me on my cell at: .

If your inquiry is

sincere and your offer serious. you'll find me the most

accommodating business partner you've ever dealt with.

If

you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or “what is my

bottom line” I will be looking for ways to politely end the

conversation.

Until you are ready to actually pull the

trigger. I will happily quote you the absolute highest

nationally advertised suggested retail price I can find – a

number we both know will not buy the car so. don't waste

your time. or mine.

I am after all. a “used car dealer. ”

Serious buyers know the maximum they can

offer.

I then must simply decide if I can sell for that

number.

If you hit the reserve. the decision is no

longer mine.

I must sell at that number.
