1968 Dodge Charger R/T Real "J" Code 426 Hemi *** Rare AA1 Silver Paint *** Keisler/Tremec 5 Speed Same Owner for 14 Years Offered for sale is my 1968 Hemi Charger R/T. It is a REAL factory "J" Code Hemi Car and a REAL factory 4-speed car, 1 of 211 built. Rarer still is that it is a factory AA1 "Buffed Silver" paint car. I have owned this car for 14 years as part of my collection and it has always been stored in a heated/cooled/humidity controlled garage. This Hemi Charger R/T was featured in MOPAR MUSCLE Magazine in November 1997 and has owner history back to when it was ordered new. This car has been in The Charger Registry since 1989. Still wearing what I believe is it's only repaint applied by Totally Auto in '92-'93, this original 35k mile car's paint looks the way these cars did when they were new. Underneath you will find all the original factory undercoat still in outstanding condition and when you look inside the trunk, the original quarter panels & trunk floor are wearing the factory applied sound deadener and all the original pinch welds are clearly visible on the original body. Under the hood, the production # is stamped in the radiator core support (right next to the original 1968 Hemi radiator) and the left side of the trunk rail is also wearing its stamping. For many years I drove and enjoyed the car the way it was when I purchased it. Around 2011, I decided to begin making a few upgrades to the car so it could be better enjoyed. The undercarriage was completely rebuilt using all new urethane bushings, Moog suspension components as well as adding front disc brakes (original drum units were saved). The interior was in good condition, but I decided to refurbish the it as well as having Red Line Instruments rebuilt & refinish all the gauges, Secret Audio upgrade the original radio to AM/FM with more power and you can plug in your IPhone and play your favorite music. I added a new correct center console and had the original Inland Shifter lever re-chrome plated after modifying to fit the 5 speed. I have a complete new set of seat belts that I have not yet installed. As for the drivetrain, I had INDY CYLINDER HEAD build a bored & stroked 484 ci engine (1969 block) using a rare set of DART Pro Stock Aluminum heads that were custom machined and bench flow tested. I had everything under the hood finished to be as stock appearing as possible as I like the "as factory" appearance. Sporting a solid lifter cam, 3" TTI header/exhaust system, a 4.11 gear set (completely rebuilt by Herb McCandless), and a Tremec 5-speed by KEISLER Engineering, you have the best of all worlds.....The car is a beast in 1st thru 4th, then you have that wonderful 5th gear so you can drive it on the highway without all the fuss. Another recent upgrade was the addition of redline radial tires all the way around, 225-70-15 for the front and the 275-60-15 Nitto Drag Radials for the rear. I have all the "H" wheels for the car, though I had to add a set of 15x7 1972 "C" body wheels for the drag radials at the rear to fit properly. The Fender Tag decodes as follows:
This car is "turn the key and drive to California" ready. There are no issues to sort out. This is a rare car and it has been well cared for and collector maintained. It has all the upgrades that you dream about doing, but don't want to endure the time/expense/aggravation of doing. Feel free to email with questions or call 336-202-8762. |

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat [w/videos]
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Darrell Waltrip once said, "If the lion didn't bite the tamer every once in a while, it wouldn't be exciting." The sentiment behind that aphorism is causing my adrenal gland to wake up as Dodge and SRT drivers and engineers - somber-faced to a man - give me the track talk that will precede my driving the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT on the circuit at Portland International Raceway. PIR might not be Daytona, and the 707-horsepower Challenger Hellcat might seem tame to a legend like ol' Jaws, but there's a not-small part of me that's thinking about how hard Dodge's fire-breathing kitty might bite.
Just a few hours previous, I'd gotten behind the wheel of the Hellcat for the first time, letting its hyperbole-spitting, supercharged V8 Hemi pull me yieldingly through Portland's morning commuter traffic. Lulled into a cocky certainty by the Challenger's good manners at low speed, I drove the throttle just a hair too deep, too fast when I ran on to the highway ramp. For just an instant the rear tires were utterly drenched in torque, and the back end of the big Dodge loosened up like a drift car on a wet track. Throttle steer lives at the fleeting whim of your right foot in this car.
It was no big thing to lay off the gas and pull the Hellcat back in line as I entered the highway, but the incident did get me to thinking: What will this car do to me on a road course?
Lackluster Dodge Dart sales trigger layoffs
Thu, 06 Mar 2014Hidden amidst the overall very positive sales figures that Chrysler released earlier this week were a few disappointments, the biggest of which may be the Dodge Dart. While Dodge sales in general were down 11 percent from a year ago, the Dart's poor figures stood out from the rest - with 4,888 units sold, the Dart was down 37 percent in February.
It comes as little surprise, then, that the automaker has announced layoffs at its assembly plant in Belvidere, IL. According to The Daily Herald, Dodge will temporarily lay off 325 workers "to balance vehicle supply with current sales demand." Put more simply, there are more Darts than buyers at the moment...
We don't think the Dodge Dart is a bad car, but it's playing in a market that offers a few standout sellers, like the Chevy Cruze, Ford Focus, Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. According to AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan, as quoted by The Daily Herald, "great incentives on the Dodge Avenger" are also partly to blame for the Dart's poor showing.
How Dodge dealers are earning the right to sell Hellcats
Wed, 10 Sep 2014We all hate the idea of the dreaded dealer markup when it comes to buying a highly anticipated new car. Take the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, for example. You might spend hours reading about its supercharged V8 and speccing the model just right in the configurator, but when it finally comes down to laying down the cash, the dealer adds thousands of dollars as a "market adjustment" on the muscle machine of your dreams. As it turns out, when the Hellcat starts hitting showrooms in the third quarter, Dodge is trying to make sure that's not the case.
Dealer orders for the much-hyped Hellcat recently started, but Dodge boss Tim Kuniskis has put some special caveats in place to ensure that the Hellcat makes it to the road quickly. The initial allocation is based on the number of Dodge products that a showroom has sold in the last 180 days, and a second allotment in December is based on the last 90 days of sales and 30-day turnover. "You sell a lot of Darts for me, Journeys for me, Durangos for me, I'm going to give you the rights to this one, too, because this is a halo of the brand," said Kuniskis to Automotive News.
Furthermore, how quickly the Hellcat sells is also going to decide whether showrooms get more of them. "If you want to market-adjust the car, that's your right. But if your days-on-lot goes above what the other guys that are selling them at MSRP is, they will end up earning the allocation because their days-on-lot will be lower," he said to Automotive News. Obviously, this doesn't prevent dealers from marking up the Challenger SRT, but the strategy certainly discourages it.
