The "68" has to be the best 2nd generation Charger out there! I would drop $50 grand in that ride .. Get it looking great and running like a top ..

[@CH6R8GR]

Can’t wait to see more updates on it, hopefully we both do more of it this summer 👍😎

[@stevehartz4615]

It will clean up. Nice

[@Mechanic_kid]

thanks Steve🙏🏼

[@stevehartz4615]

I would love to have it

[@keithhebert9334]

Just take your time with it had a few of those in all the years that I've had cars when you go to fix something on it make sure it's fixed right and when you get done with that car will give you pure pleasure I know I've had quite a few of them I have a 73 Charger that has the 318 on it it's nothing like a 68 or 9 they get attention like you won't believe every time you pull into a gas station or store somebody will want to talk to you about it kind of sounds like you need to do a compression check on your engine 318s are good Little Engines they run good but there's nothing like a big block it's nice to see The Graveyard Carz did not end up with that one set in their lot

[@adamweston4152]

Throw a headrest on that tire and change the spark plugs,good to go..dont change a thing,too many shiny chargers already..mines a daily driver.nicely kicked in,a time capsule from the 70s,the way it should be!😎

[@Mechanic_kid]

Yep exactly! Keeping it the way it is🤟🏼

[@DumPhuc]

@@Mechanic_kid it looks pretty solid,what's the horse? Mine sat in the bush for 40yrs rotting away,I extracted and overhauled its rotten carcass.also found a very rotten roadrunner recently(same colour as yours) for $600,restructured it as well,last driven in 1976..next season il be able to compare my beater 69 dodge to my beater 69 plymouth,it's gonna be glorious!..i recommend running a used pair of 225 70 r15 truck tires on the back,good traction,they hold up well and fit like a glove for max tire width on stock rims

[@johnstach4601]

I would install my 5.2 f/I in one

[@nigelbobinski5798]

.... cold start. Will it run?!?! I believe the answer is in the title

[@Mechanic_kid]

Nigel Bobinski haha gotta put keywords to gain attention🤷🏼‍♂️

[@williamdowning1552]

[@thelasthallow]

[@Mechanic_kid]

thelasthallow it’s been raining like crazy here! Will probably pick back up in the spring. Will definitely upload more videos of it in the future. I got too many project I guess haha. Stay tuned!

My friend, please answer me if you know I want a Charger 69 or 70. I just want it to work. How much the cheapest price will I drop in America

[@dc440-4]

15,000 to 150,000 just depends on what you want. 69 r/t 426 hemi 4 speed 150,000$ ,this powerless turd in the video 15,000. 69 r/t 440 4 speed 70,000 . 69 383 charger 30,000. In the 80's you could get a nice 68 charger r/t 440 car for 2,500 bucks. But now days you will spend a fortune!

[@RoMcIS_]

@@dc440-4 Thank you very much my friend
