This 1968 Dodge Charger R/T 440 is a masterpiece of American muscle car history, expertly restored and maintained to shine both on the road and at car shows. Originally delivered to Charles H. Retzloff Dodge in Grants Pass, Oregon, the car underwent an extensive refurbishment in 2006 and remains in exceptional condition.
Finished in a lustrous bronze metallic paint, the exterior is accentuated by a rear stripe, chrome bumpers, hideaway headlamps, and round side-marker lights. The 15″ Magnum 500–style wheels, fitted with redline tires, add to the Charger’s iconic stance. Power steering ensures smooth handling, while recent maintenance includes updated rear brake shoes and a new right rear wheel cylinder.
Inside, the cabin is a nod to classic style and comfort, featuring reupholstered black vinyl front bucket seats, a rear bench, and matching dashboard and door panels. Interior amenities include air conditioning, a heater, a center console, and an AM radio. The wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel frames a 150-mph speedometer, AutoGage tachometer, and additional gauges for essential engine parameters.
Under the hood lies the heart of this legend: a 440ci Magnum V8 engine factory-rated at 375 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque. Modern upgrades, including an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, Mopar Performance valve covers, and an Edelbrock fuel pressure regulator, enhance its performance while maintaining its classic character. A three-speed automatic transmission and Dynomax mufflers complete the drivetrain, delivering the unmistakable roar of American muscle.
Offered with recent service records, car show awards, spare parts, and service manuals, this Charger R/T is an exceptional opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts. With its blend of classic aesthetics and tasteful updates, this meticulously restored muscle car captures the essence of 1960s American performance.
