Need an R/T emblem for a '68 tail?

[HeavyFuel]

Just because I love you guys......

I finally found a source for the '68 tail panel R/T emblem.  I haven't gotten them yet, but they are on the way.

Finally!  I've been looking for one of those for a long effin time now.  Their part number sure looks like a YearOne part number.  But searching on YO's site yields no results.  Part#VC144

I would like to see a pic and also would like to hear what you have to say about the quality.  Please follow up when you get it.

I got mine from ebay a couple of years ago. The seller was mopar9999

Ok......I got 'em delivered today.   

They are really nice...high quality coatings....nice detail.     

They came from Herbs's, but in Year One boxes.....the shipping was only 8 bucks....had to be a savings over what YO normally charges....I don't know, I avoid them.


I ordered the front AND back emblems, so that they'd match.....and they do.


So...jump on these if you need them.

Just an FYI, Mopar is pe-poping alot of stuff now.  Much of what is out there is from the same place.
I just got my 400 Magnum hood emblems for $33, the same price (or less) as everyone else is selling them for and no shipping because I ordered them from the dealer.  They have an entire restoration catalog now.
I'm sure not everything is going to be cheaper, (and some aren't) but I've had good luck so far. 
My orange box ECU was as well.

Have you test fit the emblems yet?
I've heard a few vendors selling 1968 Charger R/T emblems that don't fit. because there actually a diffrent year or car model R/T emblem
Do the emblems actually fit a 1968 Charger R/T tailpanel? If they do thats a good find!

I did look for them in the Mopar Performance catalog (or whatever it's called online) recently and they weren't listed.  The '69 and '70 seem to be more available , for some reason.

I haven't been able to test fit them yet, my car is at the body shop.  But I did a comparision using some detailed pics that I took of the tail panel, and they look right.  They have a beveled design, so that the face is vertical after being mounted to the rear panel, which has a slight angle.  The mounting peg on the "T" comes out of the middle of the T as it should.

But you are correct, it is not nearly as comprehensive as the one I browsed at the dealer.


Whoops ... found the pdf.  Got it!
http://www.mopar.com/pdf/2011_mopar_performance_catalog.pdf
Emblems and decals start on pg155.  Not sure if yours is in there.

Looked.....still not listed.


But I got mine.

Heres the part # of the back of the 1968 Charger R/T tail emblem from Herbs Auto Parts

                       2842346
                         10916   and there is a Chrysler pentstar logo cast into part
                            The letters are red

It is a pretty thick raised emblem that conforms to the slope of the rear tailpanel.The top of emblem is thin the bottom is wide.
As far as I know it is correct and fits excellent . Price $ 46 is fair and Herbs had great customer service.Thanks for posting the info

I just ordered mine!

I have a question.   I have a base model 68.  Should the RT emblem be the same dimensions as the Arrow Spear emblem in the rear panel.  The repo one is wider than the original holes.

No the holes are not in the same location
