Super Rare 1968 Charger RT Powered By A 426 Hemi

[@trippledee351]

There might be cars that go faster, handle and stop better, but none of them will ever be, look or sound as cool as a 68 Hemi R/T Charger.

[@imeverywhere4239]

Actually yes, a 1969 Charger R/T 😎

Bought my 68 Charger R/T new and still have it.

[@rickmirabito7435]

My first car was a 68 R/T Charger. 2 owner car .1977 was the year. Plenty of stories I have about the time .

[@moparedtn]

Originally nicknamed the elephant because of the sheer size of the engine, actually. Fantastic car and refreshing to see a pedigreed car actually being driven, as opposed to merely stored somewhere safe. Nothing - I mean *nothing* - sounds like a 426 hemi at full song. - Ed on the Ridge

Holy smokes I’m sitting on the couch watching this and when you kicked it down I felt like I got sucked back into the couch. That’s one hell of a Beautiful machine you have. The nicest 68 I have seen. 👍👍 wow

Thumbs up just for the opening shot alone, which was badass.

[@kimtowner3473]

I've read that the base engine for the '68 Charger R/T was the 440 Magnum, and the optional engine was the Elephant 426 Hemi.. I once drove one of these cars with the 440 Magnum and it could really scoot down the road. I can only imagine what one with a Hemi could do.

The base for the 68 charger RT was a 383 had one and 70

R/T's had 440 - 440 6-pak - or hemi. The base Chargers had the smaller engine options if my memory is correct.

[@andyderby150]

Growing up we owned a 68’ I was a little kid and didn’t understand the significance of the car, mom drove it mostly but people stared and point, sometimes we got mobbed by people that asked about it, wanted to buy it,wanted to race against it, tried to steal it ect’ it started to get unnerving it was like driving the Batmobile around mom traded it in for a olds 98 Holliday coup which was a very quality car 455 rocket 👍but we miss the charger and wonder where it wound up.

[@electrichellion5946]

Upon returning from his Army time in Vietnam my uncle went to buy one but the insurance was double the cost of the 440 Magnum. His R/T had the 440. Blue with white vinyl top. I remember riding in the car as a youngster. His family owned it until 1981 or ‘82. A stranger approached him and offered cash for it and packing to move out of state he sold it on a bill of sale receipt. Good thing he did because two weeks later he was approached by leo who tracked the R/T back to him. Seems the Charger was used as a get a way car used in bank robberies in the Bay Area and was eventually found abandoned after another successful escape. Uncle was cleared due to bill of sale and alibi of on being on guard on duty at Walla Walla prison during the robbery dates. He had a nice ‘57 Bel Air too.
