About 2 months ago I stumbled on this 1968 Dodge Charger, 1 Owner car, 188k miles, locally. The husband/wife stopped into my buddies shop looking to sell it. After looking at it I bought it on the spot.

Before Pictures:






The trunk & underneath are all solid and rust free. A few areas of slight rust by wheel wells in rear. Front passenger rear wheel hit something, sides got into a few minor "rubs". It required new radiator, new carpet, electrical run through (still sorting ALL of this out as the original owner was a tinkerer so there are switches everywhere), removal of a few dents, removal of side molding, new tires, new brakes, etc. as it sat for 14 years. The 383 was swapped for a 400 locally and I did track down the shop and looked through it but could not find the engine. Interior seat coverings were changed previously but they are pretty nice.

So, after 2 months of working on it, I drove it about 60 miles on its maiden voyage and took it to work & back today. It drives and rides really well!
