Magnum 500s are my favorite wheel. . I have 15x8s on the rear of my third gen charger but I'd like to try some 15x10s on the rear of this one. .i see a lot of guys run either cooper cobras or bf Goodrich. . Does anyone think one looks better than the other? Will a 5 inch backspace work on this 68 to clear the 15x10s? What's the best looking front tire size to go with 295/50/15?

Nice Find.  I watched a car identical to that, 68 Charger, 383-2bbl same color etc rot to the ground over the years in Fairfield, Oh growing up.  Worked at a tire shop in the 70s-80s, winters ate it up.

Great find, congrats! :cheers:  Looks like it's in great shape, does it run and drive?

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. :)

I filed the points and got it running! New master brake cylinder, gas tank, and sending unit. Just about ready for the road I think.

That's a good question. .im not sure what to do about the color! I wonder if I'd be better off with a different color since it's already been changed or if it'd be a more desirable car going back to what the tag says

Do yourself a favor and cut and polish whats the existing paint before you do anything else. I've done that with my two 1969 Chargers and its amazing what a professional can accomplish. I've got a local guy who used to detail professionally and now does it as a side gig. He will polish and detail a whole car for $200. Its money well spent. Those old lacquers really come alive with a polish
