I know people say satin black has been done too much but you don't see many Chargers over here in the UK, especially satin black ones

Outside of the body colored bumpers, the car looks great.  Glad you acquired it.  Personally, I like a little bit of chrome.

Daytona R/T SE

I like it. :2thumbs:

I even like the blacked out bumpers. :coolgleamA:

I'd trim a little length off the tailpipes and cruise it. ;)

Good deal!  What are your plans for the car?

Looks awesome.   I can't think of any car that wears satin black better than a second generation Charger.

Old Tired Rebel

Sweet!!! It almost looks like the Drive Angry car.

very nice as is, but agree with trimming the tail pipes a bit. great score. :2thumbs:

I'm a fan. The Charger just dwarf's all the other cars in those shots.

Cut the tailpipes about an inch beyond the rear valence and go cruisin' in that bad boy!!  Very nice !!

C_stripes

Okay, I think that is one of the best looking 68's I've ever seen. I think the body color bumper really makes the tail panel and grille stand out... Damn nice car man!

Looks awesome!!   I'd trim the tailpipes unless you add framethrowers , which would be the icing on the cake!
MOPAR OR NO CAR !!

Your car looks good.  You have to get the original tail pipe extensions.

I also like the look of the black bumpers.
I hate the look of window tint foil on the other hand so I say strip the window tint foil and keep it as is for the rest.

NOS is nice, turbo's are neat, but when it comes to Mopars, there's no need to cheat...


Silver R/T

That looks nice, except I'd leave bumpers and exhaust tips chrome.

People have nothing better to do than bitch. Saying satin black has been done too much is like saying gloss black has been done too much....or orange.....or red......etc etc. Ignore them......I like the satin black....it looks great on yours. :2thumbs:

Thanks all for the nice comments, the original blue interior is mostly out of the car at the moment as the previous owner had stripped it all out to change it to black, did think about changing it to black myself but I actually quite like the blue so it's all going back in, put the front door cards back in yesterday, they are all original so they all look kind of old but look ok, had most of the carpet up yesterday and the floors are excellent, have the original build sheet and fender tag also which is nice




Hemidog

Looks sinister, I like it :) But those tailpipes needs adjusting....

bill440rt

Put the original style tips on, and paint those black too!  :yesnod:

That is a badass looking 68!  I dig the satin colors.  I was close to painting mine satin BBO.  There is just something about the flatness of it that makes it stick out.

Are they the General Lee Vector wheels I have on it ? Might be getting different wheels for it so need to know what they are if I was to advertise the wheels, what would be a fair price for the 4 wheels with tyres ? Thanks

Laxy

That looks awesome and love the blue interior.

+1 on the tailpipes and bumpers comments, would really finish it off nicely.

No they are not. They still might be worth some money though. Nice Charger. Looks like it's ready for paint. :cheers:

i like the long tailpipes, it has that Raw performance look to it
