3 '68 Chargers within 1 mile of me

[elacruze]

I've recently accidently discovered 3 other '68 Chargers within an evening walk's distance from me. 2 look like they haven't moved in a while, though one looks like it could with aired up tires and reasonably clean. The third was in a local shop but I couldn't stop to check it out.

I'll say it first, "THIS THREAD IS USELESS WITHOUT PICTURES"

That should motivate me to get out and get some.

Com'on, lets get moving... where are those pics? What? 3 minutes isn't long enough to get out there and get it done??

Wonder if one of them is my former '68 Charger? Andy owned it too at one point..... It was all over West Palm Beach during the 80's...... I know.. it was my daily and only car.......

One is the blue/white top car I posted a while back. One of the new ones is also a blue/white top car, but it was dusk and I'm not sure of the shade. The third I only saw the tail, but appears to be the same as mine, silver/black R/T.

Very unusual to have several Chargers in such close proximity, much less all the same year.  Start a club....

considering that, after I make contact with the owners.

Ok, limited intent to highjack lovely 68s here, but that is close to my old stopping grounds also, my first also mmmm 69 Q5 383H in Miami/Coral Gables in 1984-87.   Do you know of that car?       

Good grief, if that is 3-68s in one mile radius of yours, yours making 4.....wow this is almost over populated Chargers maybe... like a chevy-ford or something

Yeah and, we just brought another project '68 down from Vero Beach to start for a customer...he should pop up in here any time-that will make 5, plus I know of 2 '69s (one from this forum) and a '70 I see about twice a year.
It would be very cool to get them all in one place.

Where I live, I know of at least 3 '68 chargers within 10 to 15 miles of me.  One of them is sassy grass green with black and belongs to a member of our car club.  One is Orange with what appear to be dealer installed door ding protection strips down the side, and is owned by a semi-local guy who I usually see at cruise-ins and local shows.  The other I have not seen for about 3 years, but was at that time all primer gray with a demonic mural airbrushed on the air cleaner (what appeared to be an original hemi oval air cleaner.....).  That one came to a few cruies-ins from about 2007 to 2008, might be painted by now but have not seen it since I got back from overseas in Januray 2010.....

Funny thing is, I almost never see another '69 here though.  My car club president has a real Daytona     , and another local guy has a clone Daytona    ....    , but I don't know of any standard body '69 chargers in my area.  I know the Dukes wrecked 300 or so and thousands were crushed for scrap, but they seem to be more rare than I thought (or people just don't ever drive them...).

We usually have some show up for our annual mopar car show, from out of town.

I guess I know now, why I got so much attention when I first brought the car home and started driving it around.
