BUILD STORY
Why this machine exists.
This 1968 Charger keeps its silver body, black tail treatment and unmistakable second-generation shape. A cammed 440ci big-block replaced the 383, backed by a 727 TorqueFlite automatic and Sure-Grip rear end. MSD ignition, a 3-inch NOWEEDS dual exhaust system, Borgeson steering and Baer brakes with Hydroboost assist complete the mechanical upgrades. Inside, Legendary seats and AutoMeter gauges retain the muscle-car character, while Schott Challenger wheels and Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires finish the stance.
