I've always preferred E and A bodies, but how often do you see a 1968 Dodge Charger running in the Stock or Super Stock classes? It's just plain cool! Car qualified with a 10.207 at a recent NHRA divisional race in Texas. 1968 Dodge Charger SS/HA That looks like Jeff Teuton in the background.

do you have any more pictures 
what motor is in it?????
That's the only pic that I know of.
They seem to have kept things "correct" for a '68 RT by running a 440 4 barrel. Lighter 440-6 E-bodies run around SS/FA and this is heavier and rated at less HP. Without checking NHRA weights and HP factors, I'd be surprised if it's a 383.
It runs good, but isn't one of the faster cars in SS/HA. There are several well into the 9's.

Awesome!  Not exactly the lightest B-body either.

I was there and got to see that car up close this weekend. It is VERY pretty. There were a lot of beautiful cars in Houston. That green Challenger is awesome and the Candies new Challenger is to die for. I want that color on my old Challenger.

NHRA SS classes are based on factory HP per pounds of weight, then NHRA factors the factory HP to suit the needs of the politically correct(GM racers usually 
Go to NHRA web site and look up the classs factor for that class and then look up the 1968 Dodge cars and motor combinations 
I'll bet that the motor is a 440 Magnum rated at or near 375 HP
