68 Hemi Charger update: 05/25 - Finally on all four
« on: March 02, 2009 - 09:29:40 AM »
Hey gang..
I think it's been a while since I posted anything here about my '68 Hemi Charger R/T's restoration progress... So, I'll post some chronologically ordered pictures. There are some things that obviously still need to be done, i.e rebuild my tranny, but I wanted to get the engine off the stand and get the suspension under her. I can always take out the tranny later and reinstall if I still have her. I'm trying to fine a trade deal on a Daytona, but at the same time, I continue with the resto. as if I'm keeping her. She's a very unique color combo in LL1 dark turquoise with white interior. There are only two known LL1 Hemi '68's and this one is the only one with white interior....

Enjoy..
Troy

 :wow: :droolingbounce:

I would love to have your Charger, but alas my pile of pennies is far too small. And as I see, you are wanting a trade on a Daytona.

Good luck. You have a gorgeous car there. :cheers:
Don't look back, I might be gaining on you.

Nice looking car.  I don't think I could trade it if it were mine.
