Looking at this 1968 Dodge Charger now, it’s kind of hard to imagine it actually began life as an FF1 Light Green car, but I’m kind of digging the new color and lots of other things about this B-Body.  The Charger is one of those cars with some attributes I like about every year of the second-generation model, a run which went from 1968 through 1970, but from the rear, those round taillights you got in ’68 are hard to beat if you ask me.  This one’s had quite a bit of recent work, so if you’re looking for a nice driver it may be a good candidate to consider.  The car is located in Cincinnati, Ohio, and can be found here on eBay, where bidding has reached the $50,000 mark so far.

We don’t get any before-type photos prior to the color change, but the rear valance was replaced and the passenger side lower quarter panel was repaired before the respray, and now the body appears pretty good with the gaps seeming to line up quite well for the most part.  The owner says the new paint job was applied in 2012, and while it’s claimed to be good it’s not free of some imperfections, such as a few runs and some dirt specs.  A new vinyl top was put on the same year, but more recently in 2020, the car received some more cosmetic attention, including the re-chroming of both bumpers and some other trim pieces.

The Charger does have a 440 under the hood, but it’s not the numbers-matching component and instead has a date code of 1967.  Both the motor and automatic transmission were rebuilt approximately 10,000 miles ago, and we are also treated to a short video here on YouTube of the car running and doing a minor burnout, with the 440 sounding strong.  Also in 2020 a considerable amount of brake work was performed, including a front disc conversion, plus a new gas tank was added, along with a new fuel pump and stainless steel fuel lines.

Things inside are looking even better than I was expecting, with some new parts from Legendary like door panels and upholstery.  What looks like it started as a trio of aftermarket gauges is actually now only a duo, but other than this small detail I’m having a hard time finding much to complain about regarding the interior.  The parts we can see down below are looking reasonably solid as well, although the trunk pan has some pitting but no actual rusted-through areas.  I’m liking this Charger the way it is, but realize that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and wondering if the next owner will want to return it to the original green color.  What would you do?
