Stunning 1968 Dodge Charger R/T
(XS29/vin: L/fender tag: 83)
with a brutal 440 Magnum, automatic transmission and 3.23
Sure-Grip rear axle. Entire drive train rebuilt,
updated and rock solid. Rock star red paint is showroom shiny,
the gorgeous body is glass smooth; new vinyl
top, great glass, spectacular exterior trim and 15-inch
Magnum Road Wheels with redline steel belted radial tires.
Anyone behind the wheel of this muscle car legend is an
instant celebrity with people stopping,
staring, heads turning, thumbs-up and smiles everywhere you
go. Seriously, not a low profile, fly-under-the-radar
kind of car . . .

Built, non-original 440 starts
immediately and the low rumble idle is unmistakably big block Mopar. Click the floor
shifted TorqueFlite 727 in drive and 7.2 liters of
old-school torque lights up the rear end, pretty much at
will. This amazing Charger tracks down the road
laser straight, smooth and vibration free. It
simply goes, turns and stops better than any
Charger did when new . . .
A milestone classic, the redesigned
2nd generation Charger was an instant runaway hit,
out-selling the previous model six times over.
Doors, hood and trunk on this car open easily, close
solid/rattle free and clear glass glides up and down
smoothly . . .
The camera loves a '68 Charger, no
matter the angle. Tunneled rear window and racy
C-pillars are '60s right-on cool, man! Bumble-bee
stripes, redlines, black-out tail light panel and a
pop-open fuel cap. And this big engine Charger definitely
gets the respect. "440" is all you have to say . . .
Hard not to stare at a 1968 Charger,
especially from back here and especially with rare
quality body, chrome and trim that looks diamond beautiful
no matter how close or how long you stare . . .
Perhaps the most famous '68 Charger of all
time, here about to meet its demise in the most remembered chase
scene in movie history. (Bullitt with Steve McQueen)
In real life, an R/T Charger would likely wax the floor with
a Mustang . . .
Besides a factory vinyl top, our car has a
boat load of options: Sure-Grip rear end, power steering,
power front disc brakes, a console, sport steering wheel,
hood blinkers, dual outside mirrors, head rests, am/fm radio
and more . . .
Few muscle car classics turn up the heat
like a 2nd generation Charger. 92,590 people took
delivery of the new Dodge sensation in 1968 but just 17,655
were ordered up in handsome R/T trim. R/Ts came
standard with a high performance 440 and included lots of
go-fast, drive train and suspension goodies. This car
tops that with modern upgrades top market buyers demand.
Power front disc brake conversion, rebuilt steering and suspension,
electronic ignition and steel belted radials. The
result is a well sorted, attention-getting legend that
starts instantly, does not over heat and inspires immediate
confidence behind the wheel. It's a big ticket
investment you can take across town, drive every day to work
or take across the country. The quality is that good.
Quality you can see and quality you will know before
you've driven your first mile. A rare car these days
with rare quality like this is
definitely expensive but you could spend double or more
building your own and it likely still wouldn't be as nice .
. .
New upholstery, new seat foam, new carpet,
crack free dash, sport steering wheel, tic-tock-tach and
full instrumentation. Looks and feels like new . . .
Optional headrests, console, am/fm radio,
remote control driver's mirror, right hand mirror and a
period perfect 8-track tape deck . . .

Previous owner also had a modern
Charger in the same color with the same stripe.
His original version (this car) won several awards . . .
A note from the owner.
I am a “used car dealer” but before that,
I’m an automobile enthusiast. I love original rare and high
quality modified vintage cars and over the past decade I’ve
been in business, have come to appreciate an expanding
selection of high-demand, high value vehicles. I specialize
in and am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that
were cherished by their previous owners. I have an
experienced eye for quality but I’ve discovered that my
preferred buyer can instantly discern such a vehicle and I
have therefore, built my business and reputation around
finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer.
Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict
requirements but a car must do something for me on a
personal level if there is any hope of convincing you, the
bidder, that this is an above average, exceptional
vehicle. If nothing about the car excites me, it probably
won’t do much for you either and I would soon be out of
business.
With just four employees and no sales
people, I realize how unusual a “dealership” like mine may
at first glance appear. It has taken great care and effort
to create such an organization and often, an unusually high
investment in a particular car we are about to list. To
sell the best it is critical to have a trusted expert in my
corner and Chris, owner of
A-Best Auto Repair
in Henderson, Nevada has my back. He and his crew can fix
anything; from a low budget beater to the absolute
most expensive exotic you can name, no job is too big and no
small detail unimportant. They do an exhaustive 130 point
inspection on each and every vehicle and nothing escapes
their methodical investigation. Experience has shown that
everything I spend making a car truly “right” will come back
to me not only with a higher selling price, but a happy
customer that says good things about me. Moreover; it
allows my writer to describe the car with ease and
confidence, something that simply is not possible unless
he thinks it is true. If major issues are found or the
cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too
expensive to sell, my choice is an easy one. I simply
absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it
at auction.
After the vehicle is fully sorted it
arrives at our facility where it encounters the suspicious
eye of Tom, my writer that creates the presentations you see
on eBay. He believes absolutely nothing I or anyone else
tells him about the car as he combs over every inch,
researches its history and documents originality and
authenticity. Historical significance, rarity, special
features, possible modifications and much more are used to
accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty.
Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 150
high resolution pictures that I take myself. The pricey
equipment I use would be right at home in the hands of the
very best professional photographers and I’ve developed a
logical format that walks you around the entire vehicle with
close-up shots of every square inch. I provide detailed
views of the interior, under the hood and then put it on a
lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the beauty
of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep.
Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they so
meticulously clean. This reconditioning can sometimes take
several days and I’ve converted a paint booth, especially
prepared for the professional clay bar and polishing each
car lovingly receives.
Usually, I’ll also include a high
definition video that shows the car doing its thing. If
it’s a fast car, we film it going fast. If it’s a 4x4
you’ll see it crawling up a hill. In every case you will
hear things like a rumbling exhaust, working sound system
and watch the temperature fall on a digital, laser
thermometer pointed at an air conditioning vent. How many
“dealers” will video a Lotus Esprit doing a buck-eighty? We
do.
No “dealer,” on-line or in the real
world, takes it to this level. No other seller or
organization provides you, the buyer, with so much
information. I do this because it is the only way I can
convince a person; often a world away, unable to touch or
feel their purchase, that my vehicle is for real and what I
say is the truth. All the above is necessary for me to stay
in business while keeping integrity intact. I want every
buyer to be happy and I need glowing feedback on
eBay. To accomplish that I need satisfied customers that
are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when I bought
it.
If you have any questions at all, please
call me on my cell at: 702-353-7500. If your inquiry is
sincere and your offer serious, you’ll find me the most
accommodating business partner you’ve ever dealt with. If
you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or “what is my
bottom line” I will be looking for ways to politely end the
conversation. Until you are ready to actually pull the
trigger, I will happily quote you the absolute highest
nationally advertised suggested retail price I can find – a
number we both know will not buy the car so, don’t waste
your time, or mine. I am after all, a “used car dealer.”
Serious buyers know the maximum they can
offer. I then must simply decide if I can sell for that
number.
If you hit the reserve, the decision is no
longer mine. I must sell at that number.
