1968 Dodge Charger 440 V8 Second generation

Few cars capture the spirit of late-1960s American performance quite like the second-generation Dodge Charger. With its dramatic flying buttress roofline, full-width hidden headlamps and muscular stance, the 1968 model has become one of the defining icons of the muscle car era and the one to have. This beautifully presented example combines the unmistakable styling of Dodge’s most celebrated Charger with sensible mechanical upgrades that make it an immensely usable grand touring machine. Beneath the bonnet sits a period-correct 440 cubic-inch V8 producing effortless torque and the unmistakable soundtrack that only a big-block Mopar can deliver. Power is transmitted through a smooth three-speed automatic gearbox, making this Charger equally at home cruising country roads or commanding attention at any classic car gathering. The car has benefited from extensive refurbishment during its life. The body has been professionally repainted, including the engine bay, while the wiring has been replaced to improve reliability. It has been regularly serviced and maintained and is presented in excellent running order. A substantial history file accompanies the car, including invoices for the repainting work together with its original factory production build sheet—an increasingly desirable document for collectors. Inside, the Charger retains much of its original character. The cabin remains highly authentic, featuring its original dashboard and factory radio, while presenting as an inviting driver’s environment with just the right amount of honest patina. It offers an excellent balance between originality and usability, making it a car that can be enjoyed immediately while offering scope for sympathetic cosmetic enhancement should the next owner desire. Whether admired for its starring roles in many films like Bullitt, Fast and Furious and television shows like Dukes of Hazard, its unmistakable fastback silhouette or the thunderous performance of its legendary V8 engine, the 1968 Dodge Charger remains one of the most desirable American classics ever produced. This well-presented example offers an exciting opportunity to own a genuine icon with documented history and excellent road manners.
