A 1968 Dodge Charger R/T equipped with the legendary 426 Hemi engine is scheduled to cross the auction block at GAA Classic Car Auctions during its February 2026 event, with bidding set for Saturday. The vehicle, identified by VIN XS29J8B333232, represents one of the most recognizable muscle car combinations of its era, pairing Hemi performance with period-correct styling and equipment.
Finished in Burgundy Metallic with a black interior, the two-door coupe features the distinctive Black Bumble Bee stripe and a traditional muscle-era stance supported by Firestone red line tires. Under the hood sits the 426 Hemi V8, supported by factory-style components including a dual carburetor setup, distributor, radiator with shroud, chrome air cleaner, and wrinkle-finish valve covers.
Power is delivered through a TorqueFlite three-speed automatic transmission paired with an 8 3/4 rear end and 3.23 Sure Grip gearing. The car retains points ignition and an OE-style dual exhaust system with chrome tips. Manual drum brakes and power steering reflect the mechanical layout common to high-performance vehicles of the period.
Inside, the Charger maintains a classic configuration centered on a console with floor shifter, tachometer, and full gauge package. Additional interior features include a three-spoke wood grain steering wheel, AM stereo with 8-track capability, rear speaker, and rear window defogger. Details such as a day/night rearview mirror and trunk lamp add to the car’s factory-style presentation.
Exterior touches include hood-mounted turn signals, hood insulation, and a complete trunk setup with mat, correct spare tire, and jack assembly. The overall specification highlights an emphasis on originality and period-correct equipment, elements that continue to draw strong interest from collectors.
The 1968 Charger remains one of Dodge’s defining muscle cars, and examples equipped with the 426 Hemi are especially significant within the collector market. With its documented equipment list and classic configuration, this example is positioned as a standout among auction offerings focused on late-1960s American performance.
