My rare 68 4 speed Charger! Here is my fender tag pic.

A good big set of headers, dual piont dist, good gas and leave everything else alone, absolutley it would. These were under rated for horsepower anyway.

Congrats on your definite score.     Can't wait to see some good pics of it.

Yea, but we're talking factory options here and the factory didn't install headers and dual point dist. in any '68 Chargers that I'm aware of, let alone 2bbl 383s. All I'm saying is two things: 1) I've never seen any documentation (prior to yours from Galen) stating that there were two different engines in 'G' code Chargers with 40 hp difference nor have I seen any saying there was ever anything but a 2bbl/non-HP 383 in a 'G' code 68 Charger when the VIN starts with XP29G8B and 2) it makes no sense to install an HP 383 in a 'G' code Charger and then set a 2bbl on top of it.

BTW, did you look at the top of the engine side bellhousing flange yet to see if there's a partial VIN? Also, what is stamped on the distributor pad?

   Very cool car!, It would sure be interesting to know what "road wheels" the car was coded for?

I should have it home in a week. It`s going to take a rollback,  truck, our minivan and Bravada with the seats down and hopefully there will be enough room for all of the parts. It`s only 10 miles away.

Great find all the same.

Small world, I was in the old Simpson Motors building this last Saturday. I believe this is the building now used by Waterloo Boats. Or at least I think that's the building Simpson Motors had. I remember my dads 1st "new" car was a 1964 Dodge 440 wagon bought new from Simpson Motors. I vaguely remember being there I suppose that was when he picked it up. I assume you're referring to the South Main McDonald's in Cedar Falls. Did the car spend its whole life on 12th street in Cedar Falls? I have never heard of the car or do I ever remember seeing it. And I've lived in this area my whole life and spent alot of time hotrodding around Cedar Falls back in the day.  Amazing whats still tucked away. Good Find

Really?  Remember a 68 Road Runner, red, belonged to a hockey player?  Couldn't be too many red 68 Road Runners back then huh?

No sorry I don't. At least it doesn't ring a bell. Had a buddy that had a blue 69 runner. Does that count. Alot of cars around here back in middle 70's. Unfortunately they all just sorta went away one way or another. Well they almost all did I guess. You don't have a name of the hockey player do you? Not sure if that would help or not.

Well, It looks like a great find. Looks like the original owner traded in a 62 Chrysler 300.

[Ghoste]

I do but I doubt he was living there at all, I think he was just passing through.  He was/is from around here in southern Canada and I know he bought the car when he first got paid to play hockey.  Any minor league professional or NHL farm teams close to there?
Anyway, I was being silly about the whole remember a red Road Runner thing (which I'm sure you knew) but I doknow where the car is and the bill of asle and everything is still in it so I should get a copy of it and post it.  Who knows it may even turn out to be the same salesman that sold this Charger.

YUP! That is the building!!!! The car sits in a garage right off Orchard drive BY SOUTH MAIN!!!!! How wierd is that!!!! I am gonna send you a pm! When I first seen the car when I was 10 or so, I seen it at the 1st street Mc Donalds. Like shortly after that building was built. I am a quarter mile from Cedar Falls raceway. One of the few quarter mile drag strips left!
