My search for a '68 4-speed R/T has ended

[Mytur Binsdirti]

I just purchased this thing today. However, it does need a little sorting out.

[DadsCharger00]

This "THING" today? lol Looks solid! Hope you're happy with it and happy sorting! and is that hole where a HEMI badge would go on the door?

[Mytur Binsdirti]

is that hole where a HEMI badge would go on the door?

[DadsCharger00]

VERY NICE.... I see a new restore thread coming!

[bakerhillpins]

So what's the story? How did you find it? Where? Is it home? Who is putting it back together? Got all the parts? What other options it got?   

[Daytona R/T SE]

Good looking project.

You're going to have to downsize the whole turbin thing though, if you intend to get in and drive it when it's done...

The sword should fit in the trunk nicely...

It came up on Moparts a week ago & it was only 15 miles from my house. I looked at this car nearly 20 years ago when I didn't have any money & I always wondered what happened to it. At the the price I just bought it for, it was such a deal that I just couldn't let it get away. 22,000 miles, last registered in 1969, m,atching numbers, PS, PDB, P windows, radio delete, console, rear shoulder belts, all original sheetmetal, etc.

Good looking project.

The turban was an omen for me to get someting that's turbine bronze.

So the pic in the other thread... is that an older shot of the same car?

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Nope, different car. Mine will have a stripe.

1st load of crap taken home.....

[Darkman]

Congrats!

Can't wait to see more pics of the "crap" you will be taking home 

[NHCharger]

Wow, that's crazy to find something like that up here in the rust belt.
Are you going to do the reassembly yourself?

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Nice for you....sucks for the guy that had to get out of it.  Missed that one on moparts....

[Cooter]

Somehow, Mytur Binsdirti, I didn't picture you buying something like this.....However, looks like you did well. Will be looking forward to the re-assembly pics.

awesome stuff  ,   looking  forward to seeing  pictures & stuff as you progress 

[Fred]

I wouldn't throw the turbin out just yet.  Wear it while working under that thing..........it will cut back on the cuts and endless bumps to the head that you'll receive every other minute.
That way you can remain scabless.

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Are you going to do the reassembly yourself?

Sure am. Looking at it now, doing over the Daytona last year was a just a practice run for this.

Nice for you....sucks for the guy that had to get out of it.  Missed that one on moparts....

He bought it in 1983 from the original owner, took it apart 20 years ago & had the body done about 8 years ago. I got the impression that he couldn't wait to be rid of it.

Somehow, Mytur Binsdirti, I didn't picture you buying something like this......

I'm sure that you're not the only one who thinks of me as just another pretty face. I bought my first '68 Hemi Charger in 1978 & sold it in 1992.

Sweet.
Since we're practically neighbors I'll have to stop by some weekend and check it out.

[Ghoste]

So when its finished your username becomes Mytur Binskleen?

[Ryan]

I saw that ad on moparts. Very sweet charger and congrats! I am jealous.

[BB1]

Grats

[chargerboy69]

Very nice, she should look good when you get her done. 

[skip68]

That will be a beautiful car when done.   

[hemi68charger]

Good for you..    Is that MM1 Bronze? It reminds me of the little funny-looking-motor '68 I was working on before I traded it for the Daytona.

Have fun finishing it up.

[surmanajaja]

congratulations, saw the ad and the price was right on that one.

[6pkrtse]

I saw it on moparts also. Big money, but very nice car. Glad to see it go to a good home.

[Mytur Binsdirti]

He was asking 75 large for it on Moparts and I got it for SUBSTANTIALLY less than that. 

[6pkrtse]

That is great to hear. I know someone that kind of just scored a ride of his own like that. Owner wanted $4500.00. We went to look at it & my buddy said I have $2000.00 cash & will take it home right now. We did not know it at first but the gentlemen lost his job & needed the cash & regretfully accepted his offer.

[Mytur Binsdirti]

[Dans 68]

That is a beautiful car...the ultimate '68 Charger.  I'm looking forward to the assembly story and pics.   

Dan

[skip68]

Wow! Talk about options.   

[69rtse4spd]

Great looking car, radio delete saves weight.

[Ghoste]

Rear defrost and power windows but no radio?  That is different isn't it?

[Fred]

A sweet sounding exhaust system replaces the radio any day!   

[Tilar]

Wow, Nice score Mark.        

[BrianShaughnessy]

Nice project car 

[tan top]

Rear defrost and power windows but no radio?  That is different isn't it?

yeah what i was thinking  too !!

[Ghoste]

Really makes you want to know what people were thinking when car options were assembled back then.  Whether it was an ordered unit or a sales bank car it seems there are some crazy combos around.  In fact some of the sales bank units seem the craziest.

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Got the hulk home over the weekend.......

[Ghoste]

Nice, now for the "fun" part huh?

[Mytur Binsdirti]

A couple more....

[RIDELIKEHELL]

Beauy! Nothing like seeing them on the spit like that 

[tan top]

       nice   

[chargerboy69]

Beautiful car.  I would be lying if I said I was not jealous.  I can not wait to see it done. 


It reminds me of Troys 68 Hemi car, freshly painted and still on the rotisserie, that was one sweet car too.

[Ghoste]

Nice Daytona beside it, like you said, you'll have to get one of those someday too. 

[bill440rt]

Whoa! Beautiful car!! 
Good luck with that "thing!" 

BTW, nice oasis, too! 

[bakerhillpins]

 

Yea, Im jealous as well. Nice garage space there too.    Someday.  Any chance NHCharger, and yourself would be up for a fall cruse?

[charger_fan_4ever]

Nice!!!


Since nobody has asked what is the story on the other "thing" with the white wing sitting beside it ? 

[hemi68charger]

Got the hulk home over the weekend.......

Sweet...  Hemi Charger and Daytona......... Life's good............

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Nice Daytona beside it, like you said, you'll have to get one of those someday too. 

Looks like someday has arrived.   

Nice!!!


Since nobody has asked what is the story on the other "thing" with the white wing sitting beside it ?  

Just your basic R4 Daytona. You see one, you seen them all.  

[RIDELIKEHELL]

Reminds of the lighting in my garage but minus the Daytona

[charger_fan_4ever]

Nice!!!

Did you restore the winger ? please don't say thats original paint lol.

[Ghoste]

Indeed.

That thing underwent a rotisserie restoration which was completed last winter. I guess you could say that the Daytona was just a refresher course for the '68. Gawd, I'm such a glutton for punnishment.
