Rougher than rough 68 Charger 383 4 speed

[Stevearino]

I think the basics are all here for a tube frame custom chassis car. Probably a good roof sub structure if  not the roof itself. I am not sure but there are more than a few components here that AMD does not reproduce like the front door jambs , the inner rear quarter panels that support the quarter windows and the windshield A post sub structure. If my plate was not full already this looks good to me for $1000.00 if you are heading towards a resto mod. For about $8,000.00 you can have all new exterior sheet metal including brand new door shells.  For anyone thinking of restoring it that's a ton of work for sure.

I bought it. Now I have (2) 68 383 / 4 speed Chargers. The blue one is in far better condition with original engine and trans but still a project

The blue one looks familiar

Is this the same car I have? I bought this one in Illinois but it was in WI before that.

[73rallye440magnum]

Yep! Picture from 2006. Feel free to send me a message. I'd love to find out where the car ended up.

Funny (now) story on the blue 68. The pic I posted is the day I bought the car. Previous owner just put rebuilt motor back in car. Drive shaft still out. I though I could save money by not dragging a full car trailer 3hrs to Illinois to pick it up so I brought a dolly. I made it to a local tire shop 20 min before closing and had new rear tires put on the back of the car. I watched the tech torque the lug nuts on. The drivers side rear wheel made it about 2hrs 45min before it loosend up and I noticed it when I went around a corner. Couldve been a lot worse if I lost the wheel. The rear rims were widened at some point in the cars life. Maybe it wasn't as straight as it could've been...

That was violent.

I'm glad you got it.
These xp 4 sp cars are pretty rare, it's nice to have another saved.
Already looks better with some wheels on it.

[Chad L. Magee]

Good to see another rare one saved. ...

Did this one have a fender tag attached to it by chance?  It would be interesting to see what options it had vs. the others known....

[Edelbroke]

No fender tag on the green one.

Wheels aren't bolted to anything. Just sitting on blocks

Got a chassis if you need one. Couple of things like the torsion bar cross member need replaced but it is in decent shape. PM me if you have any interest. It came out  from under of a 68 383 automatic car. If you are wondering I put the body on an LX platform.

So it now sits on a Fiat owned platform. 
Just kidding. When are you going to finish this project ?

ATTT SAA GOOD ONE!
I don't know. I'm bored. Time to push it into the corner and start something else.

I say good on ya Edelbroke for buying it.  Hopefully you'll build it into some form of a usable car instead of scrapping it.  I have a 1968 and a 1970 in rougher than rough condition, but I'd rather build them than scrap them.  I'm building the 1970 into a 1969 Daytona clone with a hemi to take to Bonneville next year.  Heck the record is only 237mph...so that shouldn't be that hard to beat! I ran 160mph on the salt last year in a friends car to get the rookie run and Class C license out of the way, so we'll see. Keep us posted.
