The Charger was introduced in 1966 as a mid-sized luxury sport model for Dodge in response to the Ford Mustang. AMC Rambler Marlin. and Plymouth Barracuda. All of these cars shared a modern fastback body lines that were quite attractive to buyers. Dodge decided to revamp the Charger in 1968 with larger. more pronounced body lines. These second generation versions are generally considered the most desirable for collectors. and continued through to 1970 with subtle revisions year to year. The final year. changes included a full chrome surround of the front grill with an absence of the center divider. and electronically actuated headlights versus the previous vacuum operated units. Bolder colors were introduced. and reverse side scoops found their way to the doors for R/T optioned cars. Today. Chargers continue to get the hearts racing of all muscle car collectors who find them in restored condition. This example is no exception!

This example was said to have been sold new from Signal Dodge in Mehlville. MO and lived the typical early Missouri lifestyle. When located in 1999. the car required a complete disassembly to make sure the car was properly prepped before metal work could begin. The bare metal presentation resulted in needed repairs to the rearmost portion of the car. primarily the rear trunk floor. frame members. structural cross braces. and finally the rear quarter panels. Inside. the driver's side floor pan was also replaced. All metal work was fully documented and professionally executed. Once completed. the body panels were prepped. primed. sanded. painted. clear-coated. and properly color sanded to outstanding show worthy results! The interior received an all new Legendary Interiors OEM replacement kit. all new weather stripping. fresh exterior decals with 440 hood banners. rebuilt suspension. braking system. fuel delivery system. and more!

Dyno tested to 480hp & 550 lb. ft. of torque.  Visually. everything looks completely stock right down to the original intake & exhaust manifolds. with overall factory presentation including air cleaner assembly. The original transmission is included with the sale but was swapped for a Keisler A41 4-speed electronic overdrive unit for improved street and highway performance! The same is said for the brakes now finding 4-wheel disc brakes at all four corners! The original rally wheels & tires are also included but the vehicle is now presented with new 14” Magnum 500 wheels wrapped in Goodyear Eagle white letter tires.
