1 of 259 Found!

[F8-4life]

Earlier this year I finally got the chance to buy my dream car. About ten years ago at age 14 I saw this charger in a driveway. I walked over and began talking cars with the owner.
Not for sale he said. I could have stopped at that...well we became friends over the past 10 years.
This year I sold my 69 charger project (some may remember it) and had the opportunity to buy this car.

1968 Charger H code 383-4 sp 1 of 259 ever made, very rare.
On top of that, the color scheme is great!
Originally B5 blue, blue int. with white vinyl top.
I am definitely going to need help from this site in the future.  Here is a picture.

Thank you I can't tell you how excited I am about this car.

[DixieRestoParts]

Awesome, great colors too. You gonna do a stock resto or resto-mod?

[F8-4life]

I am young & don't have alot of money so not going to restore.
I plan on just getting it roadworthy, painting it Matt black with aluminum slots, & enjoying.

Good for you, getting your dream car when your still young is the best!

Cool! I'm south of you. I might even have some usable parts. There was another blue/white 383 4-speed in a yard here about 6-7 years ago. I stopped and chatted to the owner a couple times. It was pretty mangled but it disappeared one day along with a green 68 383 auto. Wish I'd have at least got the info off it.

Cool....Looks like a good, solid car to start with.

Very nice find!!  When I got to my duty station after leaving Vietnam, My good friend (also a sergeant) on base had a new hemi-orange slick-body Charger with a 383-4bbl. and a 4 speed. It was a non-a/c Charger with a black interior so, it got kinda hot during the summer We had a great time running all over KC back then.  I only had my 1968 Triumph Bonneville (stupid move on my part) and he let me borrow the Charger a lot!

When he left to go back to Vietnam for the third time, he bought a new 1969 Charger R/T that was B5 with a white vinyl top and white interior and a/c. This one had a 727 auto but was scary fast accelerating from a stop! Within a month,  he drove it back home to San Antonio to stay at his parents home while he was gone!  Lost track of him and the Charger!

Back on track:  The 383 4spd was a great car and you will love it!

  Congratulations! You can shoot it with Black Rust Encapsulator from Eastwood. It holds up well as a topcoat (UV rated.) yet is a very good primer that sprays/sands well, check it out. I've tested the stuff for several years on my 70 and my Cherokee.

Youre not going to paint it F8?!?!?!?!

[tan top]

   congratulations  , great stuff  looking forward to seeing progress pictures & up dates & stuff 

[41husk]

Congratulations!  You may check that paint code.  I may be mistaken but I don't believe B5 was offered until 69.  QQ1 was real close and offered in 68.  Either way both great colors and a fantastic find.

getting any mopar at that age is great have fun.

Great plan and great car. Spend your money on getting all the mechanicals up to snuff, then worry about the cosmetics. Drive it and restore just a piece of the car at a time. Eventually you will get there. Scott.

Way to go! Nice to see other young mopar enthusiasts keeping the fire alive.
