I PURCHASED THIS 1968 CHARGER IN 2003. THE ORIGINAL ENGINE,A 383 HIGH PERFORMANCE,HAD BEEN REPLACED WITH A 383 2 BARREL ENGINE WHICH HAD A CRACKED BLOCK. I PURCHASED A 1970 383 HP BLOCK, HONED THE CYLINDERS,AND INSTALLED THE 383 2 BARREL CRANK,RODS,AND PISTONS,WITH A REBUILD KIT. THE TRANSMISSION IS THE ORIGINAL,AND LEAKS FLUID SLIGHTLY AROUND THR FRONT SEAL. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SLIP. THE BODY WORK WAS DONE BY ME,SO ITS NOT THE STRAIGHTEST. THE FLOORBOARD WAS REPLACED WITH A SOLID PIECE FROM A DONOR CHARGER. THE TRUNK FLOOR WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW REPRODUCTION. THE TAIL LIGHT PANEL WAS REPLACED WITH A DONOR PIECE. THE ENTERIOR IS FROM LEGENDARY INTERIORS,AND WAS INSTALLED IN 2005,ALONG WITH NEW CARPET AND HEADLINER.I HAVE SEAT BACK COVERS AND THE VINYL TO RECOVER THEM. THE AM RADIO PLAYS, THE 8-TRACK HEAD IS WORN. THE SPEEDOMETER CABLE IS BROKEN. THE HEAT / A/C BOX HAS BEEN REMOVED, I WAS PLANNING TO REPLACE IT WITH A NEW KIT FROM VINTAGE AIR. THERE IS SOME RUST BEGINNING TO POP UP ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ROCKER PANEL, SEE PICTURE. THE RIGHT SIDE INNER FRONT FENDER HAS A RUST HOLE THAT NEEDS REPAIR.SEE PICTURE. THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES WELL. I HAVE NOT REPLACED ANY STEERING OR SUSPENSION PARTS. THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED,IN 2009, WITH NEW BRAKE LINES,AND A NEW MASTER CYLINDER. THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS NEW. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED IN 2009. THE HEADLIGHT DOORS DO NOT OPERATE,BUT CAN BE REPAIRED. THIS CAR IS STILL VERY MUCH A WORK IN PROGRESS. JUST ADD THE DECALS AND BRUSH GUARD, AND IT WOULD MAKE A GREAT GENERAL LEE CLONE. I HAVE REACHED THE POINT THAT I CAN'T SPEND ANY MORE MONEY ON THE CAR, AND I AM READY TO TURN IT OVER TO SOMEONE WHO CAN CONTINUE ITS RESTORATION. THE FENDER TAG WAS MISSING WHEN I GOT THE CAR, BUT IT WAS ORIGINALY A DARK FOREST GREEN,BLACK VINYL TOP ,BLACK INTERIOR,383 HP,A/C,AM-8 TRACK,3 SPEAKER DASH,WITH PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR,AND LIGHT PACKAGE. THE CAR CAN BE VIEWED IN PERSON. YOU WON'T FIND A CHEAPER, RUNNING,DRIVING CHARGER ANYWHERE!!! PLEASE....SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY.
