New member. 68 Charger

[hhn_jff]

Hello Everyone! Thought I would introduce myself. My name if Jeff and am from Fargo ND. I have a 68 Charger with a 383 4 barrel and 4 speed. I joined to do some research and gain some knowledge. The car was restored in the late 90s by my Grandfather and has been in the family since I believe 69. Part of my research will be to figure out the cars current value, rarity, and also help repair a few known issues. Thanks for letting me join and glad to see a forum still in use instead of facebook taking over. Good day everyone!

I see it's got a distributor vacuum valve, is it a CA car?

[hhn_jff]

Not a Cali car as far as I know. I believe has been in ND/MN its entire life. Will have to talk to my Uncle and see where he bought it from.

Welcome. Don't touch a thing. Just drive it & enjoy it as is. Looks awesome.

Thanks everyone. Just need this winter to blow by so I can get it out and clean it up again and going again. I inherited it from my mom who passed away a few years ago and I just haven't had much interest in doing much with it until late this fall when I decided I needed to get it out and going again, then it snowed. haha. I know the radio doesn't function and the tic tac clock does nothing. My little bit of research leads me to believe its one of of a few hundred that came with a manual transmission... does this seem correct? I thought the old timers liked manuals more than that so seems weird. Hopefully ill learn more soon.

It would be one of 259 1968 Dodge Chargers with the 383-4bbl. and a 4-speed if I remember the production numbers right.  I have a very rough (rolled) 383-2bbl., 4-speed version (one of 74) that was bright red exterior, white vinyl top, white with red inserts interior (very rare option)....

Nice car. Love the slots also. The car looks awesome. That is perfect the way it is in my opinion. Enjoy that thing and think of the family tree while driving it. Your Grandfather restored it to be driven.

Welcome.  I think many here envy what you have.   It is a project that can be driven and enjoyed. On the weekend's bits and pieces can be fixed or added as needed.
Resist the temptation to take it all apart to make it better. That would likely take years and cubic dollars and you would be back to where you are now -essentially.

Welcome to the site! A 4-speed big block '68 Charger. Does not get much better than that. Once you get the hang of posting pics, post lots.

 Welcome to the site, great looking car, as said before, don't take it apart, just drive, fix & have fun. .

Hi Jeff from Fargo, ND., welcome and good to have you aboard. I like your '68 Charger. Yes "photo bucket" did a number on a lot of us.

[Mopar Nut]

Welcome aboard!

[BIGBLCK11]

Great car!  Welcome to the forum.  I agree with clean it up, make it roadworthy and drive it.   

[triple_green]

Great car! I have gotten a amazing amount of help from the members of this site over the years!

Welcome and nice looking car.  People here have a lot of information and others will be able to better give an idea of value.  I think those of my parent's generation usually opted for automatic.  Mine also had a manual and I never asked my dad why he chose that.

Hello Jeff, welcome here & enjoy the car
