Wonder what happened. https://www.hotrod.com/articles/45098-1968-dodge-charger/ Found a short youtube clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rN_c39k8jUk To do a deal like that and just disappear afterwards seems to point towards something getting in the way, or maybe a loss of interest....

They got a lot of work done to just lose interest and disappear, at least the cars should still be out here. I was hoping they'd put that Hemi in the Charger and see what it could do, but the purpose built Road Runner makes more sense. I'd buy a magazine just to get an update on the Charger, or even just more pictures. Maybe some in colour, but then again black and white works for that Charger 440, 4-Speed, 3.54 1968, when Dinosaurs ruled the Earth

With the search function having a maximum date range or 2 years, alot of information just goes in the garbage. Rich H. Esse Quam Videri

Found this, but no info on the Charger: https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/1683712/4.html Google Search: 190 mph charger site:board.moparts.org So you can put whatever you want in front of “site:board.mopart.org”
