I like a 68 charger.  Do you have any pictures of the engine compartment?  Has the drivetrain been gone through lately?  Congrats :cheers:

Nice! Is it an original 383/2bbl/4speed car? If so you get to join the 1 of 74 club. :2thumbs:

That is a nice-looking Charger at first glance. How nice is the interior? Does it currently run and drive well. From one of the few pics you posted, it looks like I can see headrests. If so, you do not have the correct seats installed right now but, what shape are they in? I really don't know much about the market right now but I gotta think you paid around normal market price for it if my questions are answered with the right answers.

Nice color combo. As for price and if you got a good deal etc...
I always say if you are happy with the purchase and love it, you got a good deal for you, which is all that matters.
In the end its your money, enjoy the car.

yup your correct it says fair warning...dont ask me why...yes I checked the VIN and its an actual 2br 383 and 4spd...As fo the seats it has one split in the passenger seat and the seat combo has a center jump seat...the gauges are faded but all work also rear defroster works still...carpet is in damn good shape just needs cleaned...Ill post more pictures when I stop working my 12 hour shifts at work...also im in north western Illinois
