If there is one thing that all car enthusiasts can agree on, it is that the '68-'70 Charger is a killer looking car. The passage of time has not harmed the styling and attraction of this 1968 Dodge Charger's unique body shape one bit, but adding a dose of modern technology brings it forward into the 21st century. In this instance, that means the custom installation of a Gen III Hemi V8 engine further enhanced by Bouchillon Performance to wring out 525 horses of reliable power.
The pros at Big Hemi in Fort Wayne Indiana get the nod for this stylish and well throughout resto mod build, which is their specialty. The 6.4L mill is expertly nestled into a show worthy engine compartment complete with a smoothed firewall, billet aluminum hood hinges, and modern cooling system. This is backed by a 5 speed automatic overdrive transmission and ends in a Chrysler 8 inch differential. The underpinnings have been retrofitted coil over shock suspension front and rear, replacing the antiquated torsion bar and leaf spring setup installed at the factory. Power rack and pinion steering and power disc brakes with Hydroboost also add to the modern day ride characteristics.
The exterior retains the factory cues, covered in deep metallic Black paint with thin black R/T stripes and a black vinyl top. The custom interior also pays homage to the original design with moder power bucket seats custom upholstered era-correct Charger patterns. Brushed stainless steel gauge faces modernize the dash while a custom center console hosts the pistol grip B&M shifter, and custom storage. In the dash there is modern air conditioning, a tilting sport steering wheel, and a custom Sony stereo system with Bluetooth connectivity. The car is set to a menacing stance, aided by highly polished 19x8 Boze 2-piece forged front wheels and 20x12 Boze 2-piece forged rear wheels, wearing low-profile Continental Extreme Contact tires to allow for stellar performance and excellent road manners. There are good reasons to be nostalgic for the past, but for those who like yesterday's look with modern horsepower, this 1968 Charger is ready to rumble. Call us today to make it yours!
