That's my #2 favorite Mopar (Black 68 Charger). #1 is a Black 71 Hemi Cuda.

I go back and forth between the two. A couple years back I posted on the Charger forums quite a bit, now I'm getting a Cuda. Maybe someday I'll have both. :icon16:

Nothing personal. :worshippy

 :bricks1: I was waiting for that.

I would hate me too. I have to ask "why" do I always fall into deal like this, it's beyond me.  :clueless:

But just remember, I'm a nice guy. I hope the MoPar Gods shine on you one day soon.

Waaay cool!  :thumbsup:  That'll awesome in your car!  I love black '68 Chargers!  I tried to have my friend paint his gold '68 black but no go.

This is the only Hemi I can afford.  :(

1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

Awesome brother, I'm happy as for yah! :2thumbs: I too love 68 Chargers, most golden oldies around CCC will know I've looked at a couple, too broke for one now (+ no room) but IMO they're the baddest baddie car ever lol.
