'68 DODGE CHARGER R/T
In 1968, Dodge's styling department succeeded gloriously in developing an automobile that combined a fresh, sleek design with some very serious horsepower. They had created the company's first real supercar. Recognized by many then and now as the meanest, sexiest, best-looking ride on the road, the '68 Charger was available with a wide range of performance, trim, and paint options to suit all tastes.
Sport optioned as the R/T (Race/Track), it could be ordered with the legendary 426 Hemi, an engine that, when tuned right, was nearly unbeatable on the road or track - but out of reach for most buyers with its $605 price tag premium. The more popular and more manageable performance option was the 440ci Magnum. With a conservative estimate of 375hp, it delivered more than enough serious street power. As the Car & Diver road test stated, "Here is an automobile that is all guts and purpose.”
Turning heads and stealing the show came easily with a Charger. Eye-catching exterior colors, contrasting vinyl roofs, and bold 'bumble bee' rear stripes guaranteed many a second glance from passers-by. Add a high-styled racing-type fuel filler cap, dual chrome exhausts, stock wheel covers, or Mag-style chrome rims, and the resulting ride demands instant attention.
The all-new hidden headlamp grill, afterburner tall lights, and 'coke bottle' body, coupled with restrained use of chrome, established this Charger as a styling high point for the year. A race-inspired instrument cluster, sporty center console, and groovy pleated seats created one of Dodge's studios' zingiest cabin designs ever.
At its debut, Dodge boasted, "You wouldn't change a line if you could." The '68 Charger R/T was a seriously cool ride fully worthy of its 'Muscle Car Icon' status.
