New member with 68 charger

[Old Greg]

Hey, been looking at this forum door awhile & I just bought my first Charger yesterday. It's a 68 & has the orriginal 318 in it still. Gonna build a 440 stroker for it & fix the body up some. I will post up some pics soon.

Welcome aboard.

Hello & welcome  OG    , looking forward to seeing pictures 

[41husk]

welcome I where are you from?

[Old Greg]

I'm in Alabama, this car has been in a garage for awhile & it does need a little work but I have wanted a 2nd gen for about 22 years & this car I bought for the last 9 years.

hi, i live in alabama. congrates on the charger i have been looking for a charger to replace my 69 that was totaled about 2 years ago down in florida. were are you located at, i am in hanceville (south of cullman). i only know of one other member on here from alabama. nice to have another. if you know of any other chargers let me know and once again congrates on the charger.

[Old Greg]

I'm in the Calhoun/Cleburne county area. I have not seen any others for sale at all. Good luck with your search.

welcome to the site, and the club!

[Old Greg]

Here's a few pics. I know the stripe on the back is not right for this year. The previous owner liked that stipe better & moved forward.

[Old Greg]

A few more

[spankmunky]

wow, all the ones i have found in a garage sure dont look like that. lol r u going to do any changes to it or are you just going to enjoy it the way u found it. very sharp.

[Old Greg]

i'm going to enjoy this the way it is right now. I do plan to repaint it this color again & have some of the body issues fixed. I bought the car from a friend who had the work done 10 years ago & he didn't know that the shop didn't do a good job. Not to our standards anyway. I have alot of plans for this car. But her had taken good care of the car, like i said it was hardly driven & garaged the whole time.

[spankmunky]

if your going to show it you should bring it to some shows her in cullman, there are never any chargers and its always the same cars so u would be a guaranteed winner.

[Old Greg]

Thanks for the compliments, I'd like to make it to a show with the car. It's not in the best shape but i still love this car.

Very Nice 68     Time to have some fun!!!!

[Old Greg]

Thanks guys, I have been driving it alot in the 2 days of owning the car. I drove it all day yesterday over 4 countys. That Supra belongs to a friend of mine of 10 years. I told him i was buying a 68 Charger & wanted to get pics of both cars. You guys should havee seen some of the looks when we drove through town lol. Now i just got to get the courage to mess with 42 yr old wiring to start upgrading.

Spankmunky when is there going to be a show in your area? This coming friday they are going to have the First Friday car show in Gadsden & there is a few Mopars there but really no chargers.

Jaak how is your car coming? Would love to see more pics.

[jaak]

The 69 is coming along slowly but surely, should be painted real soon. Its been my long-term project, has always been put on the back burner, but have made tons of progress the past 2 years. The '73 is my driver, its a pretty nice car, but its down right now, something has happened to the rear end. I got a Explorer in my shop I'm replacing the trans in, as soon as I get it done, I'm gonna tear into the '73 rear and get it back on the road.

Jason

[Old Greg]

I hear ya man. The 68 is my daily right now, but I need to get a cheap Honda or something to drive.

[chargergirl]

Bama isn't that far from P'cola...where are your car shows? BTW Welcome!

[spankmunky]

here is a good link to some shows. http://www.noalcarcalendar.9f.com/ my local places is decator, cullman, arab, joppa, jasper. oct.9 ill probly be putting my 72 chevy in at the cullman high school show. there are 2 cruse ins in the month at dairy queen in hanceville, 2nd saturday of the month, jacks in holly pond 1st saturday, might have them wrong but ill look later and see if i can find the site with the local cruse ins on it and post it for ya.

[Old Greg]

We have a big show in Gadsden on the 1st of every month. They shut down the entire street from end to end for the show. You have to get there around 5pm so you can get a spot in the show. Would love to see more chargers there that's for sure.

[spankmunky]

thats cool, if i can get a few things done on my truck by then maybe ill come over for a look. i havent been over that way in a few years. my 69 came from attalla. got it in 2004. then it was totaled in 2008. if i can make it ill let ya know i would love to see the 68 up close.

[Old Greg]

That works man, i do have to say that it does have some flaws. But is a really good starting point in my opinion.

[6pkrtse]

Congrats on your find. That is a nice looking Charger.

[Old Greg]

Thanks man, going by your sig it looks like you have some nice rides. Got any pics?
