1968 Dodge Charger R/t Hardtop 2-door 7.2l on 2040-cars
Year:1968
Mileage:2500
Location:
|
This is a 68 Charger RT tribute, it is not an original RT car. It was originally a red 383 automatic car. It currently has a 440 stroked to 500CI putting out 590HP on pump gas. The engine has had extensive work (crank,pistons,cam,heads). Compression is right at 10.9:1, hydraulic roller lifters, 850 CFM Proform carb with mechanical secondaries. I have installed an MSD ignition with a 2 step (for future trans brake) and billet distributor. The tranny is a race built 727 Manual valve body with a Cheetah shifter. All front bushings are new. The rear end was mini tubbed (professionally done looks excellent), Art Morrison back half with ladder bar setup, 8 3/4 rear end with 391 Suregrip. Front disc brakes (power), bucket seats, new custom upholstery, new window cranks, new mirrors, new LED tail lights, new side markers, new HID headlights (w/ballast), new engine harness, custom front spoiler, working vacuum hide away headlights, new front and rear bumpers, new stock valve covers, new 10MM spark plug wires, new 17" Magnum wheels with new rubber (305 Mickey Thompson's in the rear), new hood blinker lights, aluminum radiator, trans cooler, new air filter, TTI headers, gas tank sump, 3 inch turn down exhaust w/single chamber Flowmaster mufflers, new ignition switch.
The paint is about 3 years old. It is a Black metallic and shows very well. It has flat back bumble stripes. The car was built to look mostly stock but is anything but. I have not taken it to the track but I have taken many other cars and this car will run high to mid 6's on pump gas driving it to the track. Although with a 391 gear and an 850 carb it drinks like a fish. Currently.....today. The dash is out, I am refacing the gauges, replacing the ignition switch. I am confident the car will be completed this weekend, long before the auction concludes. This car sounds pretty wicked, and runs like a monster, as a 1968 Charger should. I am sure I have left some things out but you have a pretty good description of the car. All the things listed as new were done within the last 4 months. The engine was professionally built and tuned. I have been working on this Charger for about 6 months and here is what I have done and what needs to be done: |

FCA plants skipping summer shutdown to keep up with demand
Thu, May 14 2015Hopefully, some FCA US factory employees don't have big plans for the usual summer shutdown, because the automaker is keeping several plants running this year. Demand is so high that the company wants to keep models rolling off the assembly lines. Four FCA US assembly plants, all the engine factories, and some locations that build transmissions are staying open throughout the summer, according to the Detroit Free Press. Usually, these sites would see a two-week shutdown for the company to retool and perform repairs. This year, factories are staying open for FCA to support its strong sales. The lines that remaining humming through the summer show an inclination toward the automaker's popular SUV's and crossovers. They include the Jefferson North Assembly Plant in Michigan that builds the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango; Saltillo Van Assembly in Mexico that constructs the Ram ProMaster; Toledo Assembly Complex in Ohio that produces the Cherokee and Wrangler; and Toluca Assembly in Mexico that makes the Dodge Journey and Fiat 500.

Does the future of Fiat-Chrysler include Dodge?
Thu, 13 Jun 2013Wards Auto reports the future of Dodge is looking uncertain. Fiat has more or less laid out it's game plan for the next few years, and while the Chrysler, Fiat and Jeep lines are set to receive plenty of love, Dodge isn't so lucky. Fiat has already hobbled Dodge significantly by splitting off the brand's trucks into a separate Ram line.
Wards says that after the Avenger rides off into the sunset early next year, Fiat-Chrysler won't replace the model, leaving a gaping midsize hole in the Dodge lineup. The report also cites unnamed sources as saying that at least two other current Dodge products will move to the Chrysler line.
One of those could very well be the Grand Caravan. Chrysler has already made it clear that it plans to trim redundancy between its minivan offerings, but it has yet to clarify which other vehicle could sail under the Chrysler banner moving forward. Either way, such changes to the product line would theoretically leave Dodge with just four models.
eGarage interviews a couple with 65 Vipers
Thu, 12 Sep 2013Owning multiple vehicles can be a hassle worth enjoying if you're willing to spend the time and the money required to acquire and maintain them. But when it's hard to make ends meet while underused valuable hunks of metal, plastic and rubber sit happily taking up garage space, journeys into the depths of other people's well-developed automotive obsessions will either bring you and your cars closer together, or compel you to sell them off before you become one of those fanatics. A recent video by eGarage is one of those journeys, and it's not for the faint of heart: D'Ann and Wayne Rauh own 65 Dodge and SRT Vipers in a collection of automobiles that exceeds 100.
We're not sure if the couple has developed heat-resistant calves from stepping over Viper door sills made burning-hot by side-exhaust pipes, but we wouldn't be surprised if they did. We did learn that their obsession with the no-holds-barred sports car started in 2006 with a trip to a dealership to buy just one Viper, which goes to show how innocently car obsessions can start. But the Rauhs seem to be doing just fine - perhaps better - 64 more Vipers later.
Watch the video below for the full story and to see what eGarage claims is the world's largest Viper collection.
