According to the April 1998 edition of Mr Govier's book, 74,886 Chargers sold, VIN starting XP.  Of those, 904 with a 225 six, two of them 3 speed.

Engines for 68 included the 225, 318, 383 2 bbl and the 383 4bbl.

I'm assuming the trick in question is a 3 sp column shift.
A logical buyer would only opt for that trans. as a 6 or 318 buyer..a budget guy
A 383 buyer would buy a 4 sp.

the 3-speed manual column-shift transmission was the STANDARD transmission on the base V8 (XP29F8 * 318) & base /6 (XP29B8 * 225) 1968 Charger

an automatic (904) transmission was OPTIONAL: $206.30 for the 318 & $?? for the 225

there were over 2,300 U.S. spec. 1968 Chargers w/the 3-speed manual column-shift transmission

if one of the OPTIONAL 383s (383 2bbl/383 4bbl) were ordered a 4-speed manual (PP833) or automatic (727) must be ordered at additional cost
