Look at sales during the era you will see why the charger is coveted, beautiful, and rare compared to the other 2 auto makers.  I believe mustang made/sold like 400k in 68 and only 90k chargers.  That's off top of my head, guess estimate.

Mustang was also cheaper vs chargers....either way its a beautiful car as James may would say ,the mustang became marlon Brando while the charger was James dean.

What...Did you know James Dean and Marlon Brando were peter puffing homo's.

"James Dean attended a class taught by Marlon Brandon. He stayed after the class to meet Brando, which lead to a sexual affair that lasted for several months and a friendship that lasted much longer"

You guys kid yourselves . 2nd Gen Chargers are as bad as Camaros and Trans Ams with the big Screaming Chicken  . Everyone has one . They have been done to death . Just because you
don't see them doesn't mean they aren't around . They aren't that rare .
Lots of people talkin' , few of them know

Hi Guys and Gals,
They are mostly all in Europe now. ::)
Back in the day (80's) a 68/69 Charger was a car wanted by all UK fans of US-TIN!
So we all longed for one in England and on the whole we all got one or two.
I had a 68 green R/T from a US serviceman that was a total rust free Vegas car.
I then bought a rust free 383 2bbl 68 and robbed many good parts to make the R/T betta.
Sold both cars and bought a 69 green R/T car that was a peach, I believe it went back to New York???
We are talking nearly 25 years ago!
Now there are more 68 Chargers in the UK than any other Mopar.
We have the opposite problem here, we are starting to hate THEM!!!(68's only)

I now have a 69 Charger that I bought from California.
That was ten years ago, so you are still losing them by the bucket load!

69/70's are the Charger of choice now, mucho rarer and mucho Coolio! :2thumbs:

IF A JOB's WORTH DOING, ITS WORTH DOING WELL, RIP DAD.
4-SPEED, 1969 Charger-500 is the most Coolio car in the World!

Hmmm Cudanut, I went to verify what you posted, and the only reference I could find to that quote is on a site called homohistory.com.  Which makes me wonder: What were you doing on a site called homohistory.com in the first place?

Having participated in the shipping of several cars overseas, I can see how that might explain the relative scarcity of cars here now. When you were faced with high prices for a car you paid very little for (20-years ago) you tended to  believe you'd find a another one somewhere else later, so you sold it and moved-on.

Hater. That's funny. :smilielol:  Truth be known I lost a bet once and claimed James Dean was a chick magnet, no way could he have been a homo.  I lost that bet. :brickwall:
-74...No I would not have bought a car from two homo's...It would have smelled like shit. :lol:
