Anyone know if this is true?  

1968 Charger 383 4spd. 1-of-259 (1 of 6 A/C)

This car has been for sale for a long time.  I asked this question last time I saw this.

yup, saw on craigs now for a year!!!  Why does it not sell I dont know?  The price point is probably out of alot of peoples leagues.  Sweet spot would be 25k!!!  Then everyone snatches it up, who knows  

Dino,
didnt know you were near Detroit man!  I have family there......one works at baumont hospital area....

Yep Ann Arbor, I work for the University of Michigan health center so technically I'm the competition.

I didn't know Ann Arbor either, for some reason I thought you were in metro Detroit somewhere like Warren or Troy out that way.

[bakerhillpins]

A/C with a big block and a 4-speed. Only with the 383 4-bbl could you have a manual transmission and air conditioning. Not an option with the R/T's and 383 2-bbl.

I think you are thinking of TUFCAT??

I need to find an excuse to go out to visit these guys during the Dream Cruse...

Spike's from Warren but I haven't seen him here in years.

And technically Ann Arbor is metro Detroit.

Tuffy's in Plymouth, a bit closer to the D.

I don't do the dream cruise, it's insanely crowded but I will definitely meet up with you if you're coming this way.   

[Ghoste]

Yeah, I've been to Tufcat's but not any of the other Motor City members that I recall.

To get this topic back on track ( ) - I have this car in my files already. I've attached the fender tag for laughs and giggles....

Nice car, no doubt.    It would be my '68 "XP" first choice.

the question is dan is it worth his asking price?

I just saw some pics of it and to be honest I was not impressed based on price.  The exterior in his craigs ad is awesome I think, but then you look deeper and it dont look as good.

That's why its been for sale since at least 09.

Interesting...  What makes it 1 of 6?

A/C with a big block and a 4-speed. Only with the 383 4-bbl could you have a manual transmission and air conditioning. Not an option with the R/T's and 383 2-bbl.

Dan, I was under the impression that that made it 1 of 259?  

Reason why I keep digging deeper is if what you say is correct, my 68 is 1 of the 6.  

[bakerhillpins]

There are 259 383 4bbl 4spd 68s, 6 of which have AC.  

and something like 76 383 4spd 2bbl cars.

Dodge made 259 of the 383 4-bbl 4-speed Chargers in 1968. Only six (that are known - I don't believe archival documentation still exists to know for certain) have A/C.

Dodge made 74 383 2-bbl 4-speed cars. 333 total between the 4-bbl's and 2-bbl's.

As far as being worth the price I don't know - I would have to see a lot more photos, and specifically photos of areas that don't normally see direct sunlight. It is a beautiful car, though. I love the QQ-1   hardtop with white interior combination.

If I recall, the owner put it away for the winter but I wouldn't mind driving over there in the spring and snap a few pictures.  Any excuse to drive my own!
