1968 Dodge Charger General Lee replica. For all intents and purposes, this is a very nice, reliable, drivable ’68 Charger with an orange paint job. For those with an interest in the “General,” I will start by breaking out those parts from the Charger parts: (Please note that this is a ‘90’s and early 2000’s restoration that the previous owner completed, I took no part and am only listing what I know to be true from this restoration.) -Orange paint. This is REAL close to the show cars. The common mistake is to use Hemi Orange, but that is not the right color. I believe this color is a variation of the Chevy Hugger Orange paint. Whatever it is, it’s much nicer than most. -Authentic Dixie horn. I’ve heard hundreds of them over the years, and this is the closest to the TV show you will ever hear. -Interior color is painted to match a paint sample taken from one of the original show used General Lees, owned by the head of the Dodge Charger Registry. It is a very light tan, and almost perfect. -General Lee decals are from a company that has the stencils from the WB show crew. -Push bar (I installed this myself) is bolted, not welded to the frame (easy to remove w/no structural damage to car). This was from the former “buildagenerallee” website that was around a few years back. -American Racing Vector 14” wheels – same as what were used on the show. The reproductions they are making now are very nice and accurate, but these are the originals, and you can tell by looking at them. Now, on to the rest of the car: -1968 Dodge Charger (non-R/T). I decoded the VIN, was a 383 car originally (with cruise control if you can believe that…no, it doesn’t work), now has a mid-70’s Chrysler big block 400 in it. Not much power, but a great highway cruiser and runs off regular pump gas. -Torqueflight 727 automatic trans. -Hood mounted turn signals (they work). -“Hideaway” headlights (they work perfectly too, hard to find that in these cars since the vacuum system was junk right from the factory). -Original factory a/c car. That is NOT hooked up, nor is the heater core. -Edelbrock 4 bbl carb -100% Garage kept and exceptionally maintained. Here are the imperfections: -There are a few minor scuffs on the paint around one of the rear fenders. Nothing major, but I will be happy to provide pics upon request. -Trans works fine, but shifts at too low of an RPM range for my taste. I usually hand shift it. Leaks trans fluid (slowly), but not bad enough to justify a new gasket. -Missing the 1968 rear panel trim. Previous owner blacked out the panel to make it look more like the TV show cars. -I installed a new trunk from one of my spare Chargers a few months ago, and paid way too much to have the paint “computer matched” to the car. Trunk is absolutely perfect, but if you look real close, the color does not match the rest of the car 100%...more like 95%. One of those things you’d not be able to tell unless you were specifically looking for it. -Speedo doesn’t read very well over 45 MPH. It “bounces.” It’s a pain to replace, and since this car has been a “trailer queen” I haven’t really cared about it. Also, the 1969 grille currently in the car is off of my other Charger. I will NOT be selling the car with this grille in it. I have the restored matching ’68 grille I will be putting back in. This one is in much better condition than the one currently installed. Please feel free to contact with any questions. Will not ship, must pick up and deliver certified funds (cashier’s check). NO TRADES. Vehicle does have a small loan against it, so I will be providing a bill of sale and possession of the vehicle upon receipt of funds, and will mail the title immediately upon receipt from the lien holder. This usually doesn’t take more than a few weeks.
