For 1968 Dodge produce 92,590 Chargers of that17,584 Charger R/T’s were built and of that 2,743 R/T - 440 & 4-speed’s were built.
If you are looking for an extremely rare, investment grade, numbers matching trophy winning, classic Mopar, you have found the right car. This is a gorgeous example of Mopar Muscle at its best! With only 2,743 Charger R/T 440 Magnum - 4 speeds produced in 1968, this car is a true survivor. Research it for yourself.I have seen the less than a dozen Real 440 R/T 4-speeds cross auction blocks, eBay and sources of sales. Read the fine print in those ads, most listing that pop up were once a 318, 383 and 440 Automatics or converted to a 4 speed. True 4-speeds demand a premium.
It is extremely rare to find a Mopar like this. This charger has the right options, the right engine, the right transmission, the right color… and to top it off, it comes with the original build sheet, warranty card & protect-o-plate, dealer invoice, manual, and other assorted paperwork!
This Numbers matching 440-cid 4 BC V-8 Magnum, 4 -Speed manual transmission, Dana rear was Rotisserie Restored about 8 years ago. The Red paint fantastic, the undercarriage and frame are painted flat black. No undercoat on this car! Complete new interior from Legendary Auto in NY. Rebuilt original gauges. Disc Brake conversion. PST Suspension. Most everything on this car has been rebuilt, re-chromed, or replaced with new. The car appears to retain it's original sheet metal, such as renders, quarters, and floors! The car runs and drives amazing. With a 3’’ Flowmaster exhaust, the car sounds amazing. It is truly a pleasure to drive. I have most of the original parts, as well as the original Intake, exhaust manifolds, Valve Covers, and Carburetor that go with the car.
