John, you may want to look into that one...

I've tried to get the owner to sell.  He will barely come to the door and will not even talk about pricing it.  Actually the car is a '69 now that I think about it so it may not be quite as rare.  I'm not sure what the paint code is but it is a bright green color.  It definitely needs saved.  

The other two were certainly 68's.  One numbers matching 383 4 speed car.  It ended up in the Houston area.  I think it was a blue car originally.  The other, a Charger collector here in southern Oklahoma had.  It was originally a 383 4 speed car but it had been converted to a 440.  It was a good car.  I should have bought it.

1970 was the first year (musclecar era) for a 3-speed manual transmission behind a 383HP 4bbl engine in a b-body, I don't believe it (3-spd) was ever available behind a 383 2bbl

I believe the 3-speed 1968 Charger numbers published in GG's "white books" are in ERROR

/6 & 318 w/3-speed column shift manual is closer to 2,228 units total (VS. single digits "known")
383 2bbl, 383 4bbl, 440HP & HEMI w/4-speed manual is closer to 6,656 units total  (VS. 3,307)

This is my 68 originally a 318 with the 3 on the tree. Like they said, it's a pretty rare combo but who wants a 68 Charger with a 318 and a 3 on the tree?   ;)

Tilar,
What was the original color of your Charger? Did it have factory A/C?

I am keeping my eye on it.  There is no telling how many times a week the guy is asked about selling it thought.  It was bought nearly new by the current owner.  The story I heard is that the clutch went out in the late 70's and for whatever reason the engine and transmission were pulled and the car has not run since.
