charger '68 or '69 or '70

[WingCharger]

wingcharger,

Just curious, how many times have you had to replace those oil filters from taking a hit to a stone or something?  Seems like a poor placement for that to subject it to debris.

that's not his car, that's a norwegian guy that threw out his 383, and replaced it with a viper engine.

And I think he's moving the oil filters.

I WISH THAT WAS MY CAR!!!

I like how he put the SRT10 truck Dash, Pedals, and Steering Setup into the car.

Buy the one that is most complete and has the least rust!

And pray that it is a 68! 

Yeah, that way there is a less chance of it getting stolen, compared to the demand for the beautiful look and power of a 69.   
Here we go, let the 68/69/70 comments begin.

Shut up Rob!!! 

   Ah, no.

Hi Steve,
     I'm with you,68 is my favorite,but followed closely by 69's.I had a 318 68 charger,looking for another one soon.69's in second because of the loaded 69 R/T SE my older brother had.For you,and myself,it would be best to find one running/driving fairly clean.Spend a little more initially,you won't regret it.It makes it much easier when it is all together,running,and not a basket case,if your pocket allows you.
     Secondly,try to find a Cali car,as me and my brothers were Cali cars,they were very clean,just seened to get  rusty on the trunk floors(probably from leaking water).I just moved from there,brother is still there,don't speak with him much(family issues).But if I found an R/T SE ,I would like that because my brothers was real nice,it was a power disc brake car,A/C,power windows,even had the AM 8 track w/3 speaker dash!Don't remember the paint code ,but was a pale yellow,pretty nice,but could see why the new owners(5-10 years ago)painted it a diff color he said.He hated to get rid of it ,so for memorabilia,he kept the fender tag off it(I would never do that ),and as we don't talk,I watch his E-bay account to see what he is up to,and saw he recently sold that tag!
  Anyway,good luck with your search as well as mine!!

1969chargerrtse, sound familiar?

Tough call, I like all 3 of them almost equally (slight preference to 69), but the 70 had the cool colours in my opinion, if you like impact colours like I do!

I like all three but prefer the '68. While a lot of guys will say the '69 and '70 had more options that's a bit of a misnomer in that the base model '68s came stock with more standard features. The '69 base models came with more than the '70s which were a very stripped down base model by comparison, however there were a lot more color choices, engine choices, etc., on the '70s when it came to add-ons.

The '68s are assumed to be more plentiful than the '69 or '70 because they made more of them so you might have better luck fiding one by comparison. When I was shopping for one I wanted a '68 and that's what I found most of locally. I don't think I ever saw a '70 for sale locally when I was looking to buy. As far as price I'd say all three are going to be about even. Parts availability? Probably pretty even too although I tend to think there are more reproduction parts for the '68 and '69 than the '70 but I'm not positive.

Yeah, but 40 years later who knows what happened to my tag?

[BB1]

That would be the last place I would put screw on oil filters. 

Oil the track please, why yes I can. 
I like the color for some reason.

Please Note, this is why '70s were listed by me...

thanks, to riggs and bull, i appreciate the comments. i think if i get a car it will be a '68. sorry @ your family issues, you surtainly are not alone in that regard. family can be such a pain in the ass. i agree @ a running car and one that is good shape. i don't work on cars much, just not my thing. again thanks guys, steve

All 3 years are JUNK....      Im just kidding. I ended up buying a 69 first becuase of the tail lights and after finishing the 69 i bought a 68 becuase of the grill  design and the side markers. Might as well save up and have all 3 years.

The 1970s have some other improvements/changes.  The higher-backed 1970 front bucket seats were a much needed improvement over the 1968/69 stuff.  They also switched to electric(rather than vaccum-operated) headlight doors.  And the ignition key moved into the steering column (from the dashboard) that year.

I wouldn't call those improvements......especially the headlight doors....

I think it gives the look of "All Mechanical" or "No Where Else To Put Them. Too Big A Engine."
I don't mind the filters myself.
I like everything about that car. Interior, Paint, Wheels, Engine, etc.
