Maybe a long shot but does anyone know something more about this 1968 Charger?
you might seen it, now the previous owners or something else.
It was original green on green, 383 Big Block car.
Bought it almost a year ago in Gallatin Tennessee.

It's disassembled last year and ready to getting restored.

This pic is when I bought it, More pics of the breakdown coming up.

There's some rust on torsion crossmember, 1 half of frontfloor need to be replaced.
The rear section of framerails need some work.
previous owner has replace rear fenderquarters, and tacked valance to the car.
Removed the new sheetmetal and need to refit lowervalance, corners and crossrails....

Getting busy with replacing sheet metal......My good intention for the new year!!!! :2thumbs:

My 69 need minor work and I want that to be road ready first, then the welding on 68 is going to take place.....my first time, so hope I don't screw up.....

Member here did photoshopped a car which was completely done in show style......
(Reason I wanted to see how a Charger looked with viper striping)
But that's another thread overhere. http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,74792.0.html
