Your right it was a 383. I'm not used to reading these 68 tags!

[Hemi Guy]

Nice score! You just don't find them like this any more!

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!   Looks like it's in great shape, does it run and drive?

[400sforever]

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.

[HeavyFuel]

GG1......Racing green.

Gonna go with that, or something else?

(Just assuming it might get a re-spray down the road)

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

It's your car, paint it what you like, don't worry about the next guy! 

[Mopar Crazy]

Awesome find!!!    Good Luck.       Makes you wonder just how many of these cars are hiding in garages..

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
