  What happened to the FIRST Charger? Not the prototype, not a mock up, test mule or whatever the first one production made!  :shruggy:

It was a very long time ago on here in internet years.

I think it was supposed to be the first '68... :scratchchin:

Might have been ONE of the first '68s... :shruggy:

It was supposed to be the "Official" car of DodgeCharger.com.

Members started donating money for it's restoration...

Then...

Things went sideways...

I just sniffed this one out:
Nice find!  :2thumbs:

So, how about the first '70?  ;D



The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

That '68 charger wasn't the first one or number 2.It was the second last '68 charger built,if I understood it correctly.
So nobody knows where the number 1's are?
Shame they changed them every year back then.These days you can't tell any of them if they are5 or 10 years old,especially European cars.These cars all look the same!
