68 383 4 speed charger

Ouch!

Hey did anybody see the yellow 68 R/T 4 speed  hlpag has for sale(hold) right now on their site? Thought that $17999 is cheap for a 4 speed R/T-what do you guys think?

That would be cheap from anyone other than hlpag.com. Just the fact that it's a "nice" R/T listed at that price should raise a red flag for those who know what these cars are selling for.

I looked at the pictures of that yellow R/T on the hlpag site. Did you see the Flowmaster picture? Looks like it's covered with undercoating. RED FLAG!! http://hlpag.com/68rtcgr4spd.htm "THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND TRUNK PAN HAVE ALL BEEN DETAILED AND LOOK AWESOME!" Detailed=undercoating on everything.

Here are a few 383-4 speeds I remember for sale.

There was a real rough one for sale on Ebay last fall in Michigan that was originally red. There was another one on Ebay a couple years ago in Iowa. It was red with a black top.

Maybe a member bought his one...I remember one that was pulled out of the junkyard down in Georgia or the Carolinas and posted for sale on the old site. It was red with no vinyl top and I think the guy bought it for $2,500 out of the yard and was reselling it. It ended up on Ebay too.

I saw another red one just north of me that was in bad shape about 15 years ago. I don't know what happened to it and, guess what, it was red with a black top. At the time all I really wanted was the woodgrain wheel for my '68 because I didn't know how rare they were.

I saw a red one a '69  here on the board a while ago...


I guess if you really want one you have to be a bit lucky or on the otherhand be very patient.

If you really only are interested in a 4-speed car, then you could widen your options by also looking for roadrunners or superbee's.

i have tought about that myself a while ago but i rather drive an automatic Charger than a 4-speed Roadrunner or superbee, not that I don't like the cars but of course I just like the Charger more....

Although the '69 383 4 speed cars are rare they still made 3,579 of them. For whatever reason not many '68's were built with a 4 speed.

Got mine out of Missoula Montana about 2 years ago.  There was a guy advertising some other cars on the old site and the 68' 383 4-speed was just barely poking into one of the pictures.  Basically a rust free western car that I picked up for the price of a trailer rental and gas from Minneapolis MN to Missoula and back.  Tipopiola

I have one of the 2-bbl. versions in Bright Red, White vinyl top, White with Red inserts interior (rare interior combo in 68 to boot).  It was a SD car orginally and was rolled onto it's top by the orginal owner in his front yard back in the early 70s with 30,000 miles on it (it looks worse than it really is).  It was in the process of being parted out when I bought it off of the second owner.  It will be restored eventually......

I have one of the 68 383 2bbl 4 speed cars.  the numbers engine is long gone it now has a 440.  bought it just over a year ago from a fella down in sumner Wa.  He had a few other chargers in his yard, a beautiful 69 in light yellow/black top and a crunched 68 rt parts car.  Hopefully this weekend I will be able to get progress pics up on mine.

I'm interested. I'll send my info when I get home and I'll try getting the VIN off that 383/2bbl/4spd car up in the Seattle area. I don't know if he'll give it out, or if he even has the car still. I wonder if Wooten would be of any help in this area?

My Engine builders Dad has one.  Original owner, all original documentation, its green with a black top and white guts.  I'll get some info on it for you guys.
