'68 Charger 318 4-speed on Craigslist?

Spotted this scanning the local ads this morning. Strange combo, if it's original.
Anyone know the production numbers on this??
Looks like it was originally maroon or perhaps bronze.

Nice find, i never heard of a small block 4 speed car.. might be cool if it were orignal.  Not for that price though

Nice find Bill!  Thought you were going to play spot the dog with the first picture!!  LOL    It's under the driver side wheel!!!

And two more coming around the passenger front! LOL (Actually, is that brown one a cat??      )

I do agree the price seems a little inflated, unless the production numbers are miniscule. Appears to be a solid car, though.

** Post update: I'm doubting if it's original. The floor around the shifter boot is boogered up. Looks like a hump grafted in with sheetmetal screws or rivets.  
More than likely an auto converted to a 4-spd.
According to my books a 4-spd manual was N/A with a 318, & a 3-spd manual WAS column shift.
Just another unicorn...

I was under the impression that the only std trans option on a 68 Charger small block was a 3 on the tree.

My guess is that it was a 3 on the tree originally and someone swapped it out for a 4 speed. Take a look at the awesome floor hump.

Yep, saw that too. Just updated my post Brian, while these other posts were coming up.

I wasn't sure of that was a cat, but I saw the others running around and assumed it was the little dog!! 
Seems like a good starter project for the right price...

word of the day - "rathered" as in "might trade if i see something i want but cash is rathered"

I really didn't think that was a word but according to urban dictionary...

"Getting lied to, but finding out about it. Comes from the fact that Dan Rather lied to America, but got caught.
I can't believe that she Dan Rathered me!"

You are correct.  Same deal with /6 Chargers of that year.  There were aprox. 40-50 or so of the 1968 318 Chargers with the three on the tree manual transmission made.  Maybe 10 or so are left in any condition.  The production number is a best guess, as the actual production numbers for these were lost to time.  I used to have a yellow/gold one....
