want your guys opinion before i go ahead with a trade

[440charger68]

yea it is now, the cops knew i was the victim. i guess i really just wanted a powerful muscle car, never a chevy or ford. But every where i go people want to see me smoke the tires hahah, but i cant. I have 295/50 rear and non posi with a 318. Just wish my car could at least erch the tires   Looks good and sounds mean but it bark is no where near its bite.

I say keep it.

You can easily find a running 440 and probably a tranny with it for next to nothing. Clean it up a bit and throw that sucker in.

[440charger68]

How did you get the car from?  Was his name Collin ? 

you think you can repeat that? dont know anyone by that name either.

So take the 295's off, put some 195's on, install a small pump/bottle with some bleach and you'll do smoke shows that no one can match 

[440charger68]

hahah i was thinking about that actually, maybe not the bottles but for sure some smaller tires with the dog dishes

[speedfreak68]

The chargers got some history i would surely keep it.

You can also hop up that 318 quite a bit...Small blocks can be fiesty little buggers...Lower gears in the rearend will give you some snap too...

I'm a Charger fan. What else can you say other than I like your Charger.   

[skip68]

   I fixed what I said.   I grew up in that area and know of a few cars around there that's why I asked.  I'm guessing you went to Oak Ridge ?        I was wondering if the car was a local car?    

[Mean 318]

Its your first car! I have been down this same road, found something nicer and wanted to trade but I could never go through with it! AND I AM SO HAPPY I DIDNT! Keep the charger! You have your time and your teen years in that car.... something you will never get back! hate to do this to you cuz I know where you are coming from but  

[440charger68]

yea i went to oakridge, class of 08. Is that your general lee up here?

[440charger68]

i live in el dorado hills CA, i have the only 68 around here that i know of, but i know there is a general lee up here and a red 69 R/T

[skip68]

No, I'm in Las Vegas now.  There is a guy that has a 68 4spd General Lee up the hill.  There is a few 68's around there but not on the road.  There is 2 in Rescue.   Go with your heart on the trade.      Chuck.........

Put a line lock on it, sit there all day and burn the tires of her. 

[440charger68]

alright, thanks you guys for the support, decided to soldier on and keep the charger. I will keep workin on the beast and keep asking you guys for help  

[440charger68]

whats a line lock?

[captnsim]

Applies pressure to the brake system via a electric solenoid...usually just the front brakes...

[440charger68]

hahah sweet

It's a Charger Forum, opinions will most definitely be bias.

Your Charger is a daily driver so having the 318 one legged is your best option (maintenance, MPG).  Now if you want the HP and a weekend warrior I say jump on the Coronet.

Value wise 318 in both cars the Charger wins.  It sounds like the Coronet's had some work done, w/o pix it's hard to say but I'd say it sounds like an even swap. 

My first car was a /6 Camaro and my first Mope was a '68 Coronet R/T so maybe I'm the bias one. 

[MoparSam]

'68 and a Charger!  Come on stick with the Charger.  Besides, you don't have to have a 440 or a 426 to cruise around and burn a little rubber.  I've read in Mopar Muscle Mag a few months ago about a 383 build that is almost as stout as a stock 440.  Most people have one sitting in the floor of their garages taking up space and want to get rid of them.  Even a 318 build is cool and as I read on here from 472 R/T SE, you can't beat the maintenance or the MPG.  April's Mopar Muscle Mag has the info on a mostly stock 318 that was rebuilt for around $1700 (not much of a labor fee on it though).  I've got a buddy that rebuilt the 318 in his Dart and it sounds goood with a lopey cam and the pipes turned down to the pavement!

Do what makes ya happy and good luck with your decision!

[Charger-Bodie]

Keep you're Charger.

[1969chargerrtse]

I would also say keep your Charger/first car.  Here's a thought, go join a Coronet site site and ask the members there the same question.

[Ghoste]

There is a good one at the Dodge Coronet Registry.

[TUFCAT]

NOT Much. I gaurantee that. I'm registered on there and the discussion is very light.
