[Rev-It-Up]

  Woohoo!! Congratulations Cudahob!  I always loved the 68 & 69 chargers.

   Congrats!  That'll be a beauty of a car when you're done with it!  It'll sort be like the car from Bullitt!

I'm glad I saw that last pic!  I was thinking the roof was kinda close to the top of the garage opening while it's on the trailer!

Congratulations on a great find,...............68 Charger, without doubt my dream car. I have a 70 500 and love it but finding a 68 like that would be, well, at the end of a rainbow. Please keep us updated.

Congratulations on the find.   

Sad the Charger had to die in the movie.

Thanks friends; here is a pic of where I found her.
There was another 68 there, and it sold the day before; very rusty though.

Now here it sits, the two stable mates, warm and out of the weather.

Shhhhhhhhh

I guess I like primer painted MoPars.

I think both cars in the movie had the extrermely rare 13 speed tranny. Seems like they always have another gear to grab, no matter how fast their going.

A 68 Charger came up on Craigs list on Saturday. 440. Runs. had been sitting in a barn for the last 15 years. I emailed him a soon as I saw it. He emailed me back Sunday night that it had been sold. Best part? Price was $1500! Unbelievable!

Weird, eh?  I guess McQueen was just trying to find that "sweet spot" in the rpm range!

Congrats on the sweet deal!!!   I've always loved the second generation Chargers and that's mostly the reason I got into MoPars back when I was 12. (My parent's friend had a '69 318 Charger sitting behind his garage that I bought when I was 14.)  Your car is definitely more solid than mine was.
