Magazine Car

[Stentboy]

I talked to a friend this morning and he told me that my Charger was the subject of a mag article back in the nineties. He thinks it was a Mopar mag. Supposedly the car's unque color was the topic of the article. Allegedly there was only two Hemi Chargers made in 68 in dark blue- one 4 speed and 1 auto. Is anyone here familar with that article. Any help in finding that article, if it exists, would be much appreciated.

i know they're rare but i have seen one once parked on the street in San Mateo (just south of san francisco)  in 1997... '68 dark blue... auto if i remember correctly...

edit upon rereading this post...
the one i saw wasn't an R/T let alone a HEMI..

i seem  to remember something about that , i think it was in readers cars maybe     the story went a guy ordered   68 HEM charger , sold it in the 70's then bought it back in the late 80's i think .  supposed to be 1 of three  in that color ,   i can't remember for sure  2 were autos & 1 was a four speed or the other way around   i Will try to find the mag later , might take a while . if no one else has any info

   ----  EDIT  ---         yep thats sounds like it might be the  (Brock)      i am pretty sure it was from California .  all  3  of them were stripe delete

That's YOUR car?? Very nice!!
I do have a copy of that article. I'm at work right now, but I could try and find it, and scan it for you after work (tonight).

That is, if somebody else doesn't beat me to the punch!!

[Stentboy]

Hard to say from that pic. Does that car have a stripe? Interior appears to be white.

[Magnumcharger]

This is the entire article. If this IS your car, you're one lucky dude!

[Stentboy]

No that's definetly not it, but thanks.

[Magnumcharger]

I recall another article about a HEMI equipped Charger of that color, as described above. It seems to me it was restored on the west coast too.
I'll try and find that article as well.
Sorry about the one I posted. I didn't read yours was a Hemi I guess!

[Stentboy]

No problem, thanks for your help.

I know a guy here in the Detroit area with a car exactly like those. B9 68 Hemi Charger. Unrestored original with around 30,000 miles & no strip if I remember right. LEON.

Good work. I just found that myself. . I did not realize I had so many old magazines.

Stentboy's Hemi is a fourspeed, and has a vinyl top!
