1968 Dodge Charger R/T Hemi
The Charger was first introduced in 1966 but was then redesigned for the 1968 model year into the car most everyone will recognize. The second-generation Charger was initially made famous by the movie “Bullitt” which released in 1968 where it played the villain’s getaway car. This Hemi, finished in QQ1 electric blue metallic, is originally from Alaska where it was made to order with the 426 Hemi and A833 four-speed manual transmission. Although the engine is not numbers matching, it is a correctly stamped warranty block from Chrysler. Dodge sold over 95,000 Chargers for the 1968 model year, but only 475 were produced with the 426 Hemi, and only 211 of those came equipped with a four-speed manual.
