The guys over at Hot Rod Magazine are working with Intellichoice’s Real MPG powered by Chevron to get baseline MPG numbers for their 1968 Plymouth GTX. It’s a fairly stock 4-speed car (though it’s running a 800cfm Edelbrock Thunder AVS carb). Just 41,000 miles on the odometer. Guess what the MPG is and then check your answer (and see more pics) after the jump!
With 800 horsepower you probably are gonna want that rollbar. But the pink? Well, if you are going to go over the top, I guess you might as well go WAY OVER THE TOP. Price is set at $58,995. What do you think? More pics and eBay auction text with the specs on this wild build after the jump!
Two Chargers and Barracuda are exposed to the elements with an owner who apparently doesn’t want to sell. See them at Cars in Barns. More pics after the jump.
You were expecting a concours restoration, maybe? The latest episode of Hot Rod’s Roadkill finds Freiburger and Finnegan building a Charger from a rolling shell, a motorhome 440 and their Fury’s 727. It took six months–not their usual six days–and in their opinion, it’s the best episode of Roadkill ever. It looks mean and sounds meaner. Video after the jump!
Find a variety of different shots of this beautiful 1968 Hemi Charger at Motor Trend Classic. Now that’s proper wallpaper. It sure beats a picture of a bunch of hot air balloons!
Want a 1968 Charger with a rare engine option? How about this survivor still sprouting it’s 225 ci six? It was second in rarity only to the Hemi. It was found in the lot of a Mopar restoration shop. Word is that the powertrain is staying. Good. I think it would draw more attention than one equipped with a crate Hemi. See more detail and a history of the Charger at Curbside Classics. More pics after the jump!
In a recent post about a Sox and Martin Barracuda that was for sale, I noted that since they only produced about 50 and that “these cars do not become available very often”. OK, I was wrong. While it doesn’t have the provenance of the Sox and Martin car, this non-numbers matching, Ray Barton built Hemi Barracuda is still one to lust after. See the details at Hemmings. More pics after the jump!
So what if you don’t live on the West Coast orin the Southwest, you don’t have a lot of money and yet you want an affordable 68-70 B-body project. Good luck, right? Well, if you are patient, good things do come along from time to time. Like this cool numbers-matching big block 1968 Sport Satellite on Cleveland Craigslist. It’s been garaged since ’78, doesn’t seem too rusty and has a great color combo. More pics plus ad text after the jump!
At Mecum’s Illinois auction last week, a 1968 Hemi Dart that was sold new through Mr. Norm’s Chicago dealership 45 years ago sold for $125,000. Chrysler produced 80 Hemi Darts in 1968 with the help of Hurst, and Norm Krause’s Grand Spaulding Dodge dealership reportedly sold 13 of them! These were lightweight cars made for one purpose–to own the drag strip. A Hemi said to be pushing 600 hp in a 3150 lb car? Yep, sounds about right! Read more at StreetLegalTV.
