Vehicle Detail

Everyone dreams of this story... I received an email about this car through my website www.moparmontana.com in July of this year. The email was about a one-owner Phoenix-based numbers matching 383 Magnum 4 speed Charger with factory A/C that might be available for sale. In August, I was able to obtain the car from the widow of the ORIGINAL owner. This is an exceptional example of a well maintained car that the one owner took extraordinary pride in. It is not exactly a "survivor", yet is not "restored". It is simply a extremely nice car that the one-owner treated with love and respect for the past forty-five years. The trunk had two boxes of receipts for every single part, belt, hose, filter, u joint, and tire for the past four decades. It was his pride and joy, which is why the wife took 25 years to resell it after he passed. It was resprayed to a very high level in the late '80s and still presents very well. I assume that the bumble bee stripe was added at that time. It still has a high gloss and is perfectly straight. The chrome and bright work are perfect with exception of a ding in the drip rail trim over the driver door (see photo). The interior is perfect. The vinyl top is perfect. The glass is perfect. Everything works except A/C which needs a charge. Being from Phoenix for most of it's life, there is no rust. The gaps are perfect. The chrome is perfect... The interior trim is perfect except for a few minor cracks in the plastic around the radio bezel. No cracks in the wheel, dash pad, seats, etc. I did not detail, or even wash the car for these photos. All I have done since I purchased it is brakes, tune up, lube, and all fluids. As far is I know it was last washed 25 years ago, and has been under cover ever since. It was on jack stands, under a car cover, when I went to pick it up at a condo in Phoenix. After recommissioning it, I have put less than 400 miles on it. Weaknesses ~ Since this is an un-restored car, it is showing some typical age for a 101,000 car... *sagging rear leaf springs *sticky Hurst 4 speed shift mechanism *minor front suspension wear *factory 3.55 sure grip does not make for the best highway cruiser *some small dings in the hood and a scratch on the right rear quarter Strengths ~ *Engine starts and runs perfectly. Drive ANYWHERE! *Completely original and well maintained unmolested car *383 Magnum professionally rebuilt in the 80's *Laser straight, rust-free perfectly-maintained, one-owner car *Big block, 4 speed, factory A/C with a 3.55 sure grip? Too cool... Options~ *Console *Bucket seats *Remote drivers mirror *Customer ordered *26" radiator *Power brakes *AM/FM radio *Air conditioning *Tic tock Tack *Tinted glass *Black vinyl top *Drop moldings *Body moldings *Wheel moldings *8 3/4 rear w/ 3.55 sure grip *Medium Metallic Green *383 4 bbl *A833 4 speed I have 100% eBay feedback since 2007. I do not sell junk and am a perfectionist. Feel free to give me a call at 406-570-9552 for a virtual walk-around, and make sure to check out all of the photos at~ http://s1091.photobucket.com/user/moparmontana/library/1968%20Dodge%20Charger%20for%20sale before you bid. I have been playing with Mopars since 1979 and have several more for sale on my website ~ www.moparmontana.com , some of which will be listed on eBay soon. As you will see, I do not mess with junk or rust buckets. Please do not bid if you are not prepared to seal the deal! This 1968 Charger is being sold as-is, with no warranty implied, but I am confident of it's condition for a 45 year old car. PLEASE call with any questions BEFORE YOU BID! 406-570-9552 www.moparmontana.com On Oct-12-13 at 08:49:37 PDT, seller added the following information: Several people have called and asked if they can have the car inspected. Yes, of course! Actually, I encourage it. I am available to show the car most any time. I will be out of town a day or two next week to pick up a '57 D500 station wagon and a '29 Desoto 3W coupe, so some advance notice would be appreciated. Yes, the car could be driven home, but I don't recommend late October Montana road trips. The weather can change for the worse at any moment. Yes, the cars in the background may be for sale. They are on my site at www.moparmontana.com Yes, the wheels are the original 14" Magnum 500s. The tires were on the car when I bought so they are at least 25 years old. They drive fine and or not dry-rotted. I am not interested in any non-Mopar trades. I'm not really looking for any more cars, but would entertain 33-34 Mopars, a '42 Desoto, 2 door wagons, a woodie, or pre-1960 convertibles. Feel free to call with any questions. 406-570-9552 On Oct-14-13 at 20:00:49 PDT, seller added the following information: Several more photos added today ~ http://s1091.photobucket.com/user/moparmontana/library/1968%20Dodge%20Charger%20for%20saleOn Oct-16-13 at 11:55:29 PDT, seller added the following information: 5 minute walk around video uploaded this morning~ http://youtu.be/wCsMJqKcQmEOn Oct-16-13 at 19:57:11 PDT, seller added the following information: The previous youtube video failed to upload.
