10 Quickest Muscle Cars of 1968 | What They Cost Then vs. Now

[@garygalawan7816]

I was only 13 years old in 1968. I loved the design of the 1968 2 door with the 289cc engine. I was fortunate enough to get one in the early 1980’s and I owned it for 35 years. It was always a head-turner!

[@MrMike-jx3gw]

I've had lots of fast cars ranging from Corvettes to a TVR but my favorite ride was my 1969 Dodge Charger R/T with a 440 V-8 Magnum. I bought it new from a dealer after someone special ordered a number of items deleted and didn't buy it. It had no A/C, no power steering, no power brakes, and the rear R/T strip was also missing. The 4-speed Hurst shifter came with a bend to get it closer to the driver. It was a beast to drive w/o power steering. but you could catch rubber in all four gears. It was also fun to run in first gear on idle, and let it chug abound the local drive-in. I never made any mechanical changes to it but I did install rear speakers and a 4 track tape deck (later upgraded to an 8-track lol).

[@ClassicFIHD]

I had the 1969 Super Bee 383 Mangum with the 4-speed Hurst. It was gone in by a Roto-Rooter van.

[@rickstephens1130]

Dam roto-rooter anyway, I would have made them replace it with the options added to it

[@norrismulgrew859]

The 1960s through the early 1970s had the best looking muscle car's ever.

[@paulhenson4434]

Hands down.

[@rickstephens1130]

Yeah that's right, both of those generations were the best years for muscle cars! If we would have only had the new Era engine technology back then In those cars? But that's what is nice about still having them cars around today, now we can install the engine's in them cars today, And go faster and look good doing it these days.

[@stevearmstrong5321]

Had a 1968 Charger 383 - was probably my only “should never have sold” car.. Kept it 8 years ...

[@edsteward7717]

Loved All the '68s. Mom's cousin had a '68 Vette, and took me for a ride! I was 8, and have no clue which engine was in it, but I Loved that car.

[@richardbrown3061]

When I got out of the Army in May 1968 my goal was to own a Shelby Mustang. In September of 1968 I found a 1968 Shelby GT500 convertible for sale at a car dealer for $3,500.00. I bought it and then traded it in 1972 for a new Torino. Fast forward to 1978 and I bought another 1968 Shelby but this one was a GT500KR convertible.

[@Murjam100]

That baby must be worth a ton right now!!! Enjoy

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-1983]

So did you keep the second one? Somebody new and school had an older brother probably 5 years older than us and they had one of these. Headset wrecked for a long time behind the family house. Mainly because he went away for twenty years on drug charges. Fourchette Garland school with his brother turned him on to some stuff and he died an early age OD. But they really like their fast cars. What happened to the one he wrecked? He got out early fourth it called good behavior. But somewhere in there I guess he needed cigarette money so he left instructions for his family to sell it. It was just advertised as a wreck mustang.

[@Nothingatall794]

I bought a 68 chevelle for $200 dollars it had been abused and it ran like a tractor the guy I bought it from said it was fast but the way it ran It was the slowest car in the neighborhood after a tuneup and carburetor rebuild it came to life in a mighty way oh how I miss that car 😢

[@David-lo1fo]

​ @Nothingatall794 My best friend in 76 had a 68 chevelle 396ci. However, my 68 Roadrunner after 2000 In moter build a 4:11 posi-rearend my machine timed out in quarter mile in low 11s.

When I got out of the military I got a 69 390 Torino. And like everybody else I totaled it. During the seventies I did a lot of walking and hitchhiking 😅

My dad bought a 69 Road Runner I was 13 years old at the time and did get to drive it when I turned 16 that was a blast for a 16 year old boy, everyone wanted to hear the horn n lots of people wanted to race me as well

[@mattmccleary1278]

Friend of mine dad worked at a Ford dealership in Beaverton Or back in late 60s early 70s. He was driving a like 69 or 70 Ford Torino with the 428 with shaker hood. We got to take it out once and Man that car moved!!! You could do a burn out for as far as you wanted!! Fantastic fast car!

[@SuperSynoptic]

My first car was a 1968 Malibu, (Red) Chevy (327 C.I.). Purchased in Cal for $2200.00 with low mileage. Totaled it the same year with five friends in the car; doing about 110. No one got even a scratch and not any were wearing seat belts. I had the Astro Supreme wheels which were very popular back then.

[@JackReynolds-w7g]

Quickness and muscle were difficult to join. Zero to sixty, the quarter mile and top end were different beasts. I both lived in and loved the muscle car era. You could easily take something stock and turn it into an absolute monster. Working on and driving them was so much fun. I wish I still had all of them.

I raced in the 1966 to 1971 era. I drove mostly Dodges. I had a 67 Dart GT with a 273 ci engine. My quarter mile times were from 14.05 to 13.8 seconds. Mph ranged from 105 to 108. In 1968 I drove a Hemi Dart, Coronet 330 cpe with a 440 single 4bbl. Times were 13.62 to 13.30 with speeds of 108.32 to 112.02 Charger RT 😂with a Hemi.

[@paulhenson4434]

Loved it. Old School ❤

[@duaneadkins1261]

I had a 1967 Dodge Dart with a 273 ci engine as well. I loved that car and it was fast for the engine. My cousin had a 1969 2 door Ford LTD with a 429 and I could stay with him until about 80 mph and then he would start pulling away. Here's a little funny note. I put 22 tires on that 67 Dodge in 19 months (49k miles). 😂😂😂

[@donbenson5292]

What was the rest of "I w" ? Did the word finish with "ent" and end in j a i l? Lol there was guy around Toledo with a Superbird... I heard tales of 180 on 475.

[@davidwoody5228]

I had a 68 Plymouth GTX 440. Was stolen from me and the Florida highway patrol got in a chase with it. The FHP said their speedo was buried at its 150 max and my GTX was leaving them…till it ran out of gas. Lol. I got it back. It was a great car.

[@MrBluzhound]

Wow. Some wild top speeds being reported. Who knew? Well I had a ‘73 Duster with a Slant 6. She did t look like much, but one time, going down Grapevine Hill in ‘77, I got her goi g 192! It was amazing and the speed was tracked by NASA. Come on guys. A ’68 GTX equipped with a TorqueFlite and 3.23’s was good for 123mph - according to Chrysler. I love nostalgia too, but actually lived then and drove those cars.

[@van6278]

Had a 73' Challenger 340 4- barrel, 4 speed pistol grip shifter, a 69' Swinger 340 4-barrel with a Torq flight automatic. In high school I had a 66'Chevell 327 4-speed rock crusher transmission. Later on, a 70' Chevell SS cowl induction, 400 small block, 4-speed, red with a white stripe down the center, white interior. Wish I had them today.

[@Rev22-21]

400 small block in a 70 SS chevelle? I knew of the 396 (that was actually a 402) , the 427 and the 454 option ...all being the big block of course. Did someone drop that small block in it before you got it?

[@paulhenson4434]

Yea that awesome. I don't belive the 350 motor gets enough credit either.

You didn't have a buddy with a sawn-off Winchester pump-action in San Francisco did you? 😂

[@robertscheinost179]

My brother bought a new red '66 Chevelle SS 396 with 375 HP and a 4 speed tranny a year before he got out of the Navy. I was 14 years old at the time so I don't know every detail about it except the car smoked the tires in first, second and third gear without power shifting just by flooring it. One time, his foot slipped off the clutch when stopped at a stop sign at idle and it chirped the tires. I thought the car would stall but it kept going. That's power! He got married and traded that car for a first year Vega (ugh!) that rotted out badly after only three years. The '60's muscle cars were all great. My High School parking lot was packed with them back in the day!

[@paulhenson4434]

I remember in early 70's the parking lot would look like a classic car show today.

[@paulhenson4434]

Also Vega? How dare he! Haha 😅

[@BrainPunter]

My first car was a 1968 SS 396 Chevelle. It weighed 3,400 pounds and cost me $3,400 which exactly met Chevy's $1 per pound target. To get that price, it didn't have air conditioning, power steering, nor an am-fm radio. Great car to drive.

[@stashi0189]

We had that car but 4 door sedan. Family car 😉

[@radamson1]

I bought a brand new Cuda 383 in 1969 when I returned from Vietnam. It weighted 2950# and cost me a dollar a pound also. I also didn't get A/C, PS, or an automatic. I did how ever get the 383 magnum engine, 410 posi-trac rear end, and 4 speed with Hurst shifter. I had the heads polished and ported, Eldlebrock intake, 780 dual-pumper holly, Micky Thompson headers. an Isky cam with anti pump up lifters in it. With slicks it would run mid 12s at 118 MPH. Those were the days.

I had a 66’ Chevelle convertible with the SS396 pkg and a 4 speed. I bought it used for $1650 with 20 thousand miles. It was 19 months old when I purchased it. It was fun to drive and I got rid of it in 1971 with 92,000 miles when I got married.

The 1968 Cadillac is my favorite car for that year. Not the fastest car but the 472ci engine had 390hp and it looks so cool. My Dad had one when I was younger.

[@imtheonevanhalen1557]

I grew up with two older brothers doing the hot rod bit. My older brother had a '64 Galaxie with a 427 that would twist the drive shaft into...he couldn't solve the problem (it was a freakin' boat of a car....) so he sold it. Hot Rod magazine did factory engine builds from the '60's and found out the 60's 427s actually produced upwards of 600 hp, and the factory rated them below 400......wow! Middle brother bought a 1967 Buick Skylark from one of my older brothers hot rod friends that had installed a Buick GS 350 in it with a powerglide....he'd pump the air shocks up tight, put a set of re-treads on the back, and smoke that freakin' thing down the highway over 55 mph.....crazy times, and lucky to have lived through it!!

[@lorenschwiderski]

All beautiful cars. The 1960's was a decade long, with as much history as most centuries packed in.

[@donnovicki9771]

My buddy had a 1968 Firebird with the 350/265hp Verdoro Green with black vinyl top and interior. The car ran like stink, but the most unusual feature was that it had a 3 speed on the floor Hurst shifter. He never let anyone drive it but I can tell you we spent a lot of time in that car crusing for chicks. Gas was 27 cents per gallon then. The good old days. P.S. the hp ratings here are just what the factory put out so you could get insurance. If they put out the real hp numbers ,no one would have been able to get these cars insured so they could drive them. Gas was 27 cents per gallon back then.

[@josephloboccetta]

I had a 68 verdoro green with a 400 in high school. I found it in a used car lot for $2,100! That was back in 1985. I sold that one and two years ago I decided to buy another 68 400 for $16,000 and had to replace the whole floor and other parts totaling $10,000.

The biggest difference between a '67 & '68 model muscle car was the DOT required "side markers". Very little body style changes were made in '68. I graduated high school in '68. Back then you could just look at a car and know the make, model & year! Not so much today.

[@debluetailfly]

Back then I could tell most cars by seeing just a tiny portion of it. Now so many look alike, and are not even worth wanting to identify the make and model.

When I got older and could drive, I'd race it in a safe place with my buddy's 1970 Dodge Charger with a 383 c.i. engine. The Impala bragged that it had 325 HP but it was heavier than the Charger and the 383 engine seemed to have more power. The Charger was a lot faster. Another buddy had a Mustang with a 454 engine and was left in the dust by a smaller Chevy with a souped up 383. Later I bought a 1966 Mustang, used, for $400 and sold it years later for $400. Who knew it would have become a classic? All were nice cars for the time. It was great to be a teenager in the late 60s.

The reason that 426 Hemi option was so rare was because it cost nearly as much as the base car.

The street Hemi was a nine hundred dollar option in 1968. I have no idea what the companion Hemi cost. I do know a local dealer had one in a 68 Dart for $6000. The car had an aluminon front cap and a single drivers seat and headers. It was not street legal.

I had a 68 ss 396 Chevelle , until someone wanted it free and stole it. Cops came to my house and told me to follow them to recovered car. But when I got to a vacant lot with 6 ft. tall weeds, I found my Chevelle was completely stripped with only the frame remaining. What a bummer that was!

My first car was 1961 Chevrolet impaia red and white

I love cars also but all I have is a 1990 1LE-IROC-Z 350 auto w/o air or power windows or door locks or a radio. It has 6.3 miles on it, they made only 28. Paid it off and have a 1992 1LE-B4C 350 that I drive as they made 250 of them.

All of the cars in your video except the rare factory option ones were in the the high-school parking lot when I was in high-school in the late seventies 😊😊😊

[@steveavant9727]

I had a 1969 Camaro SS 396. Oh how I wish I still had it!

[@bengagnon6947]

L88 is the KING!!!

[@TommyHawkins-l5l]

That GTX has got me excited its beautiful

[@michaelbrooks1458]

That over head cam straight 6 with a 4 barrel carb 2 speed automatic made the Pontiac firebird a contender

[@walterspringer565]

Had a 68 Cougar only had the 302 but it was a sweet ride. The ladies didn't care if it wasn't the top dog.

[@haroldbirge6881]

🏆 very impressed 🍀 got R done 😎✌️

[@charleschampion4682]

The only motor I didn't blow up is a 66 283 .

[@jjflash1645]

I got out of the Navy in 1970 and bought a ‘68 Olds 442.

[@jeffbranch8072]

I don't see a Pontiac Tempest 4 door sedan with the standard 250 OHC6 1bbl listed (like my car). I guess it must have been No. 11, huh? Oo, so close!

[@sChild-ef2uh]

best era for automobiles

[@HenryFrederick]

That Corvette is a monster!!!

[@starhamblin9578]

Awesome!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@joewilson5452]

One problem with the stock firebird ,when the car got up close to 100 mph the body would start to float and there was this feeling of loosing steering control. Unsettling.

[@johnmilner7603]

In ‘74 I purchased a 1968 Z/28. A friend of mine owns it today since I have owned by 1970 Z/28 since 1981 that I bought from the original owner. All my Z’s I’ve owned are/were 4 speeds.

[@gordocarbo]

Uncle bought a 68 Z new loved that car....owned a hanful of 1st gens my fav HOwever a very well done 70 Z.28 was by far the best driving of most any muscle car Ive owned. Dailied that many yrs got in way too much trouble in it. SOmething about the way it drove, handled, shifted couldnt get enough of it.

[@gvet47]

My folks like to buy Mercury Marque and one had an all aluminum dual overhead cam V8. I had it going 140 and still had more room to go. felt like you were just doing 60! And people thought it was an old persons car?

[@billyhndrsn4542]

I would like a 68 Hurst Olds Cutlass, Peruvian silver and onyx black stripes, with air induction to the 455 under the hood. I wonder what those go for these days.

[@davidnewland2556]

my first car was a 1968 galaxy 500, with a 490 and the cobra jet 500 carb I got it up to 120 mph in a game of catch me if you can with a fire bird formula 400like most kids I'm guessing I loved that first car the convertable was a per fect car for an 18 year old.

[@leegoldeneagle9003]

Very nice 😊

[@zfodge1]

My first car in 1974 was a 1968 Ford Torino with a rebuilt 289 and a automatic. Not fast but dependable. My wife misses the bench seat.

[@jameswinter6125]

Excellent video. I complete agree with your picks.

[@craigbenz4835]

To my eye 1968 was just about everyone's best looking year.

[@helendropinski3754]

In 1970, bought brand new 4x4 chevy shortbox for $3400.00. Was offered to buy 3 for $10,000. Dealer told me they were just boy toys. He was wrong, wish I would have kept it.

[@giovannipotenza123]

My 1963 caddy with 15K original miles and 2 doors is a masterpiece of Automotive art. No AC to make it heavy. Original red paint! Its the only car that will operate after nuclear war:)

[@TheNyhm1]
