This reads as an original owner now finally selling.
Pretty neat, as it has to be getting to be a rare thing now.

There was one that looked just like it in Portland years ago, the owners must have lived near my sister because I saw it on a few visits over a few year time span.

Elderly couple, he always wore a suit & was driving when I saw them, but they were always together.

They must have been close to 70 years old back then.

A young at heart couple still enjoying their green '68 Charger, they were a delight to see.

Ad says triple green. I wonder when it was re-done :scratchchin:

Looks like green interior to me. Rear seat belts look green.

Was that a 1969 Charger mounting spot ??

Looks like he needs funds for a new roof ...

It's nice to see original owners who have held onto and enjoyed their cars for so long

I thought the big block cars had radiators with the upper hose further to the passenger side.

6bblgt

the STANDARD 383/440 b-body radiator for 1968-'70 is 22" with the hose as shown (round tank '68-'69 & square tank '70)

when upgraded to A/C or an axle package, the included 26" radiator has the upper hose to the RH (passenger) side

Kern Dog

Thank you. I am trying to convert my 440 to A/C and a few things I've done need to be changed.

triple_green

from someone who owns a triple green 68. Until about 15 years ago the green vinyl roofs were not easily available, bet they replaced it before then. Also the interior looks black to me. Must have been converted over sometime. The rear seatbelts are definately green though. Interesting car, but for $35K there is a lot that need to be done to it to make it usable, but it is def all there.

Also notice that the unsilenced air cleaner on a 383-4 has no pie tin.

I called the guy the day the ad came out.  The owner died, so his estate is selling it.  They said they already had an offer for $40,000, and $44,000.  I had to talk myself into $35,000.  Is this what it's come to?

And they didn't take the offer that was 9 grand above their asking price?  ::)

Right??? LOL Still a cool car and it's a one owner so that's got to be worth something. It has the tic toc tach which is cool to see on a 383 car but it does say it's a 4 speed too so that make's it more expensive too IMO. There are 4 speed cars out there but you really don't see that many out and about. When I went to dukefest in 06 there were over 100 chargers there and out of the 100 that were there only 4 were 4 speed's. Mine was one of the four and a friend of mine has a 383 4 speed charger that was there but he is a different breed and I offered to help him get it fixed and running a couple of different times but he doesn't want it to run I don't guess so it's been sitting for several years now. I actually rebuilt the carburetor for him and put it on a vehicle that I had sitting here just to make sure it worked out and it ran great. I set the float levels and the mixture screws and it ran great on the engine I ran it on and that was 4 or 5 years ago and the last time I talked to him the carb was sitting in the floor of his garage.

I think he took the $44,000 offer, but does he have the cash in hand?  Not yet, so we'll see.  I'm tired of my friends making fun of me for
driving a girl's car.

It would be worth every bit of 35K to me. Can't imagine it'll last.
