Click the floor shifted TorqueFlite 727 in drive and 7.2 liters of old-school torque lights up the rear end, pretty much at will. This amazing Charger tracks down the road laser straight, smooth and vibration free. It simply goes, turns and stops better than any Charger did when new . . . A milestone classic, the redesigned 2nd generation Charger was an instant runaway hit, out-selling the previous model six times over. Doors, hood and trunk on this car open easily, close solid/rattle free and clear glass glides up and down smoothly . . . The camera loves a '68 Charger, no matter the angle. Tunneled rear window and racy C-pillars are '60s right-on cool, man! Bumble-bee stripes, redlines, black-out tail light panel and a pop-open fuel cap. And this big engine Charger definitely gets the respect. "440" is all you have to say . . . Hard not to stare at a 1968 Charger, especially from back here and especially with rare quality body, chrome and trim that looks diamond beautiful no matter how close or how long you stare . . . Perhaps the most famous '68 Charger of all time, here about to meet its demise in the most remembered chase scene in movie history. (Bullitt with Steve McQueen) In real life, an R/T Charger would likely wax the floor with a Mustang . . . Besides a factory vinyl top, our car has a boat load of options: Sure-Grip rear end, power steering, power front disc brakes, a console, sport steering wheel, hood blinkers, dual outside mirrors, head rests, am/fm radio and more . . . Few muscle car classics turn up the heat like a 2nd generation Charger. 92,590 people took delivery of the new Dodge sensation in 1968 but just 17,655 were ordered up in handsome R/T trim. R/Ts came standard with a high performance 440 and included lots of go-fast, drive train and suspension goodies. This car tops that with modern upgrades top market buyers demand. Power front disc brake conversion, rebuilt steering and suspension, electronic ignition and steel belted radials. The result is a well sorted, attention-getting legend that starts instantly, does not over heat and inspires immediate confidence behind the wheel. It's a big ticket investment you can take across town, drive every day to work or take across the country. The quality is that good. Quality you can see and quality you will know before you've driven your first mile. A rare car these days with rare quality like this is definitely expensive but you could spend double or more building your own and it likely still wouldn't be as nice . . . New upholstery, new seat foam, new carpet, crack free dash, sport steering wheel, tic-tock-tach and full instrumentation. Looks and feels like new . . . Optional headrests, console, am/fm radio, remote control driver's mirror, right hand mirror and a period perfect 8-track tape deck . . . 440/4-Barrel V8 Engine 375 horsepower @ 4,600/480 ft-lb torque @ 3,200 RPM (non-original engine) Chrome open element air cleaner, Mopar Performance aluminum valve covers, Demon 4-barrel, MSD Billet distributor and electronic ignition, blaster coil and Flowmaster dual exhaust with cross-over. All of it sparkling clean, dry and show car awesome . . . . Huge trunk and a full size redline spare tire on matching Magnum road wheel . . .

His original version (this car) won several awards . . . A note from the owner. I am a “used car dealer” but before that, I’m an automobile enthusiast. I love original rare and high quality modified vintage cars and over the past decade I’ve been in business, have come to appreciate an expanding selection of high-demand, high value vehicles. I specialize in and am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that were cherished by their previous owners. I have an experienced eye for quality but I’ve discovered that my preferred buyer can instantly discern such a vehicle and I have therefore, built my business and reputation around finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer. Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict requirements but a car must do something for me on a personal level if there is any hope of convincing you, the bidder, that this is an above average, exceptional vehicle. If nothing about the car excites me, it probably won’t do much for you either and I would soon be out of business. With just four employees and no sales people, I realize how unusual a “dealership” like mine may at first glance appear. It has taken great care and effort to create such an organization and often, an unusually high investment in a particular car we are about to list. To sell the best it is critical to have a trusted expert in my corner and Chris, owner of A-Best Auto Repair in Henderson, Nevada has my back. He and his crew can fix anything; from a low budget beater to the absolute most expensive exotic you can name, no job is too big and no small detail unimportant. They do an exhaustive 130 point inspection on each and every vehicle and nothing escapes their methodical investigation. Experience has shown that everything I spend making a car truly “right” will come back to me not only with a higher selling price, but a happy customer that says good things about me. Moreover; it allows my writer to describe the car with ease and confidence, something that simply is not possible unless he thinks it is true. If major issues are found or the cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too expensive to sell, my choice is an easy one. I simply absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it at auction. After the vehicle is fully sorted it arrives at our facility where it encounters the suspicious eye of Tom, my writer that creates the presentations you see on eBay. He believes absolutely nothing I or anyone else tells him about the car as he combs over every inch, researches its history and documents originality and authenticity. Historical significance, rarity, special features, possible modifications and much more are used to accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty. Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 150 high resolution pictures that I take myself. The pricey equipment I use would be right at home in the hands of the very best professional photographers and I’ve developed a logical format that walks you around the entire vehicle with close-up shots of every square inch. I provide detailed views of the interior, under the hood and then put it on a lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the beauty of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep. Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they so meticulously clean. This reconditioning can sometimes take several days and I’ve converted a paint booth, especially prepared for the professional clay bar and polishing each car lovingly receives. Usually, I’ll also include a high definition video that shows the car doing its thing. If it’s a fast car, we film it going fast. If it’s a 4x4 you’ll see it crawling up a hill. In every case you will hear things like a rumbling exhaust, working sound system and watch the temperature fall on a digital, laser thermometer pointed at an air conditioning vent. How many “dealers” will video a Lotus Esprit doing a buck-eighty? We do. No “dealer,” on-line or in the real world, takes it to this level. No other seller or organization provides you, the buyer, with so much information. I do this because it is the only way I can convince a person; often a world away, unable to touch or feel their purchase, that my vehicle is for real and what I say is the truth. All the above is necessary for me to stay in business while keeping integrity intact. I want every buyer to be happy and I need glowing feedback on eBay. To accomplish that I need satisfied customers that are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when I bought it. If you have any questions at all, please call me on my cell at: 702-353-7500. If your inquiry is sincere and your offer serious, you’ll find me the most accommodating business partner you’ve ever dealt with. If you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or “what is my bottom line” I will be looking for ways to politely end the conversation. Until you are ready to actually pull the trigger, I will happily quote you the absolute highest nationally advertised suggested retail price I can find – a number we both know will not buy the car so, don’t waste your time, or mine. I am after all, a “used car dealer.” Serious buyers know the maximum they can offer. I then must simply decide if I can sell for that number. If you hit the reserve, the decision is no longer mine. I must sell at that number. OFFERS GET MY ATTENTION: 702-353-7500 or Doug@vivalasvegasautos.com Please ask about our service programs and pricing. Cars sold without warranties are sold As-Is.
