I got my '68 RT back this weekend.  

Several years ago, I first began my search for my dream car (a '68 Charger).    During that process, I "discovered" Challengers (they came out while I was in Vietnam) and I kind of got distracted with them.   So, a couple of Challengers later (a '70 Vert and '74 Rallye), I decided I needed to go back to my original idea and found a 4 speed, Dana R/T a couple of years ago that needed a lot of work.   So, I picked it up and had an excellent Mopar restoration shop bring her back to life.   Many months and $$ later..... but it sure was worth it!  She came out perfect!    

Now I need to put a few miles on her.......

WOW!  Another beautiful Charger that joins the fold here!  Congrats on getting it finished (are they ever really finished?) and getting to enjoy it now.  By the way, I really know what you mean by "$$" to restore!

Now it is time to ENJOY it!!!

And being a 4 speed is just icing on a marvellous cake.....

That is one desirable combo.....

We need more pictures..... :cheers:

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

Beautiful car!!  Although the title of the thread threw me off.  The only time I've ever considered a Mopar as "Finished" is after its been crushed.  Someone once told me that owning a Mopar means never have to worry about what you'll spend your spare time and money on.
