well guys i KINDA got this car off ebay.. i bought it. but wasn't the high bidder. it's a 68 coronet. /6 with 36000 original miles on the car. kind of custom redone. maaco paint job that looks better in pics than it is. but overall a great driver, and the guy spent 3 years "restoring" it.. got it fairly inexpensive..(under $7000) so though it wasn't a charger, i was happy to get it and add it to the collection. what do you guys think?

That's pretty low mileage Trav, when ya gitta chance how about complete pics?..

That is great :drool5:  and at a super price.  I was thinking the other day I remember a 6 cyl 69 Charger that I wish I had bought.  Great car.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

thanks again guys.. what's seriously crazy is i may actually drive this one more. the guy tells me it gets close to 20 mpg. that is better than any hemi ram i've driven lately.. i like the 69 better myself personally, but let's face it, when a deal smacks you in the face, beggers can't be choosers.. one thing i must admit, power steering is in this car's future.. manual brakes is freakish enough, but manual steering i'll have that mahogany wheel down to a nub in weeks   :drive: :drive:

Beautiful Car! I had a QQ1 68 Coronet RT that I sold before I bought my Triple Black 68 Charger RT. My wife wanted me to keep both but couldn't keep them both and the 67 Mustang convertible and the 67 Coronet RT. I still have to find a place for the 68 Mustang J Code Coupe I bought that she does not know about!

Its a keeper!
