68 318 R/t?????

[IowaCharger69]

I think I already know the answer to this, BUT were there 318 R/Ts? I thought I read somewhere in these threads that you had to get a 440 or larger to have an R/T?

Guy says it has all the original equipment including the 318. So either the motor is not right or the emblems are?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, R/Ts came with 440s and 426s....never 318s.

Atleast thats what I was told on here a few years back.

As long as it ain't a repop, check the vin. Ask for the numbers on the radiator support and the trunk lip as well. But as far as I know, there were no 1968 R/T's with a 318. I also believe R/T 's had one more leaf on the right? side. Check that out. Good luck.

R/T Cars were only 440 or 426 engines.  This car is NOT a real R/T.  The VIN number gives it away.  He lists it as "XP" in the first two digits.  Thats a base model.  If it were a real R/T (albeit with a non-original engine) the first two digits of the VIN would be "XS"

Perfect! Thanks guys.

That steaming pile of car poo isn't worth 1 K let alone 5.......what a POS.

ANY year R/T came standard with a 440. The ONLY optional engine was a 426 Hemi, with the 440 sixpack added in 70 and 71......Base motor was a 440 4bbl regardless.

It looks like the R/T was removed from the auction.  I see it in the pictures, and not in the description.  Maybe it is a 440 and he thinks it's a 318??

Not with this VIN........

Did the auction say it was an R/T? I didn't see that anywhere. It does have an R/T emblem on the headlight door but maybe they replaced the grill a long time ago? Other than that, they listed the VIN so it's not like they're going to fool too many people.

Think the cat did nothing more than what I did when I was 16 back in '82. I just put on "R/T" emblems because they looked cool........

Now be nice Doug!    

[IowaCharger69]

I'm pretty sure its a small block, the distributor looks to be on the firewall side of the engine.

You're giving it way too much credit...that pile hasn't steamed in years.

That thing makes mine look like a trailer queen.

Geez, some people are harsh - and a bit out of touch. Just the grill and front seats are worth around $1,500. Plus, the door and dash pads look nice, there's a wood grain wheel under that cover, it has a jack(!), and it has an uncut radio bezel. It also has a clear rear window so if it's not scratched...

yep there are a few $$$ worth of parts there 

[Kevin68N71]

The only non-440 or Hemi R/T ANYTHINGS that I know of were the R/T 383 Challengers. (and you could also get a 340).
