Guess I'm just the lowest common denominator here, but what's so bad about that '68?

silver car is pretty much how the quarter should be

[Dreamcar]

I really hate to ask, but what's the difference between the quarters on those two 68s?

The quarters on the top 68 is much thicker then it must be. So there is more bondo used on that quarter. Look close and you will see it..

no worries ,  ask anything  ,     don't like picking holes in another guys car , even ones forsale ,
 but for 30k nearly      

A = body line too high & wrong shape
B = wheel well moulding not fitting , lower rear quarter been made wrong shape out filler or a road sign
C = lower quarter too flat wrong shape made out of filler or  road sign
D = lower rear quarter end cap full of bondo , wrong shape & too much bondo , think they got fed up of rubbing it down
E = same as above D
F = same as D
G = same as D

infact that whole rear is prolly bondo

that's  just one side , its the same other  ,  wont even mention the paint job  ,

[Dreamcar]

Excellent. Thanks for the details!!!

It looks odd the way the fuel filler fits as well but that could be camera angle?

[BROCK]

Nevermind the engine is not a B or RB MoPar................

 ,  the bronze quarter is wider

yeah      , good spot  distance between the outer ring of the gas cap  & the top of the quarter ,  thicker on brown car ,   don't know weather it is a optical illusion or not ,   thought  about arrowing every thing on that quarter !  but  would of looked confusing

I have seen a general lee clone with the engine sitting unlevel in it a couple years back. It was a 68 tho and had a 413 motor home engine in it with them odd heads and exhaust manifolds and the engine wouldn't sit all the way down on the K frame because of the exhaust manifold sitting on the steering box. Whoever he got it from done it this way it had like a 1 inch or so spacer welded to the K frame to get the manifold off of the steering box which resulted in a crooked engine!! It looked exactly like the one in the picture. He had asked me about putting the right engine in it or swapping the heads for proper looking heads for a big block but when I gave him a price he bailed!! He traded the car off and that was a couple of years ago. The car he had looked like it had new metal in rear of the car but I only saw it once. I do remember the engine had been threw in there it looked like.

well consider only roughly 90k of the 68s were built vs what a mustang had 400k plus built it shows the rarity of our cars thats all vs other muscle/pony cars of the era.

 yeah  your right     that's true !!    , awesome looking 68 by the way    1974DC

 still IMO  68 -69 -70 chargers that are rotted out piles of shrapnel or ones that are blatantly obvious to of had a quickie hlpeg job to flip  , are way way over priced  ,   nothing wrong with these rotted out cars  , especially with all the AMD stuff now , if you luckily enough to have the skills or can afford someone to  do it  ,  away you go ,  
but to me spending  10k -20k  & in somecases 30k    then proceed to cut away most of the body & send it to the scrap yard   , go through & rebuild & replace all mechanical , wiring etc  , seems insane ,
,  can see rare cars like   XX29 chargers & J  & R codes ,  possibly  Rare optioned  R/T 440s etc  bringing that kind of dough !
although I don't even agree with the prices of these cars needing restos  
think i'm living in the past with the prices,
its the collectors &  guys with too much disposable income &  auctions that are driving up these prices &  it trickles down through the food chain , & all of a sudden that rotted out 318 charger is forsale  for 30K cause the owner saw a  68 unrestored hemi charger sell for 100k at barret Jackson etc ,  if every one stopped buying these over priced  rotted out wrecks   , sure the prices would drop  although, maybe not , cause there is soo much free or cheap advertising on the internet these days , & there is always someone out there with more money that brains .
wonder how many of these collectors would have these cars if there value  was  half or a 3rd of the current market value today
 no offence meant  in this post to flippers , collectors , dealers  etc  good luck each to their own  , just how I see it    
 i'm done   going to wait for my bus
