[VegasCharger]

Don't think I've seen this one listed before. 68 R/T Hemi Charger. Looks good.

Not bad!

Don't see OEM drivetrains often in any Hemi equipped car. Looks good

Man. If only it were a 4 speed..... Still a bad Azz car.

Nebraska plate on the front.  I don't think that car is in California.  Neat looking Charger.

Nice car. Why is the front end higher, than the rear ?

[Baldwinvette77]

I really like that colour combo

Not that I could afford it but isn't $95k quite cheap for a totally original '68 Hemi?

I kind of thought the same thing when I saw it... usually they're always 6 figure cars (especially in a condition like this one).

I thought Hemi cars had mandatory disc/drum combo?
Did I miss something?

standard equipment was manual  3"x 11"   front  &  2" -1/2" x 11 rear HD police  drums   , power booster was a option for drums !  as well as discs

My good friend from GYC Mark (woman) Warmon says they mere mandatory!

[charge69]

Your good friend, Mark Worman is mistaken!  My Charger has the original manual drum brakes all-around on it and that is the way it came from the factory. They aren't even the self-adjusting type.  Manual brakes with manual adjusters.

My old '69 HemiCharger had manual drummies all around too.

If a car had the (new for 1969) 4.10 Dana axle, then power front discs were mandatory along with 10" rear drums.  Since only 3.23's and 3.54/3.55's were available for RB-powered B-bodies in 1968, there was essentially no mandatory disc brake requirement that year.

Tires might be too wide for the backspacing/rims?     I had that happen with my R/T and 255-series radials on 15x8" rims - where the front tire would rub the very front lower lip of the fender during turns.  The easy solution was to keep the torsion bars cranked up a little higher than I'd like. 

Also could be that age and a few too many brake-torque stoplight launches have de-arched the rear springs

Must have got bombarded with calls been edited no longer any price. Nice car, but unlike most not a fan of the blue. My own car was originally b5.
