Description
This 1968 Dodge Charger Convertible will elicit double takes from onlookers and spark conversation wherever it goes, since the automaker never produced this model in a droptop. According to its seller, It's a real-deal Charger, not a converted Coronet. The shipping order number on the fender tag matches number on the radiator core support. According to the documentation provided, the car was restored and modified in 2008-'09. He goes on to say, I bought it in 2020 already completed. It's a turnkey car with a big-block engine, automatic transmission, and a power top. It has been garaged and needs nothing. You'll have difficulty finding another one, no less another for sale. Factory built with a 318-cu.in. two-barrel engine, this Charger now features an era correct four-barrel 440-cu.in. OHV V8. From the paperwork, it appears to have been rebuilt in 2008. Its open-element air cleaner assembly is aftermarket, the 750-cfm carburetor and intake manifold are from Edelbrock, and the rocker covers are Mopar Performance. Magnum exhaust manifolds feed into an H-pipe exhaust system. - , It's a typical four-barrel carburetor car. A few pumps on the gas pedal, and then she starts with no issues, and the engine idles smoothly. There are no leaks that I can see. There are no issues with the 727 TorqueFlite three-speed automatic transmission that was rebuilt in 2019, according to receipts. The rear axle ratio is 2.76:1, according to the fender tag. Having left the assembly line in Bronze Metallic with a black vinyl top, the Charger has since been repainted in a bright yellow following metalwork that is documented in the receipts from 2008-'09.- the finish is excellent, with no swirls, blemishes, or rust. New power convertible top cylinders and tubing were installed in 2023. It functions properly and has no leaks or tears. The glass has no issues, the seals remain soft, and the exterior lighting works - Inside, upgrades include AutoMeter instruments, a Grant steering wheel, and a new Pioneer stereo with four speakers. The black 1968 Coronet seat upholstery has no issues, but one button is missing on the driver's seat. There are also a couple of bubbles in the dashboard padding, under the stereo. The carpet is excellent, the trim is complete, and the heater/defroster works. - Though the last suspension service isn't known, in 2009 weld-in frame connectors, KYB gas shocks, and extra-heavy-duty rear leaf springs were installed.- that the bushings and shocks are excellent, and the car tracks straight and rides without bouncing or swaying. No play or leaks have been observed in the power steering box or lines that were replaced in 2004, and no issues exist with the power front disc brake swap done in 2009, either. The upsized, 15-inch steel Road wheels and P255/70R15 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires are two or three years old. DOT date codes, to confirm tire age, are not visible in the images provided. Receipts totaling over $50,000 go with the car, he adds. This 1968 Dodge Charger Convertible offers an uncommon opportunity to experience its upscale styling and comfort with the top down and the wind in your hair. With a 440 under the hood, it will get quite breezy each time the new owner floors the accelerator.
