Up for Auction: 1968 Dodge Charger R/T 440 – Iconic Muscle Car with Matching-Numbers Engine

Year : 1968
Make : Dodge
Model: Charger RT 440
Mileage : 63,915
VIN: XS29L8B224113
Registration country: USA
Registration status: Clear

This 1968 Dodge Charger R/T exemplifies the golden era of American muscle cars, featuring its original, matching-numbers 440 CID Magnum V8 engine, paired with a 3-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission. With its unmistakable Coke Bottle design, hidden headlight grille, and Flying Buttress fastback, this Charger stands as a true icon of the late 1960s.

Key Features:

• Original Matching-Numbers 440 CID Magnum V8 producing 375 hp and 480 lb.-ft of torque (SAE gross).
• Verified period-correct 3-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission and differential.
• Driven approximately 2,000 miles since restoration; odometer shows 63,915 miles.
• Factory-correct black Bumble Bee stripes over freshly painted blue bodywork.
• Added power steering for convenience (original components included).

Exterior:

The Charger’s bodywork was restored to an excellent standard, showcasing its striking blue paint with black Bumble Bee stripes. Chrome trim, bumpers, and glass remain in outstanding condition, with minor paint imperfections noted, including a small crack on the quarter panel near the driver’s door and a few light scratches on the trunk lid and passenger side quarter panel. The vinyl Flying Buttress roof is in good condition, free of bubbling, and complements the overall appearance.

Interior:

Inside, the black vinyl upholstery appears largely original, while the carpeting was likely replaced during restoration. The Tick-Tock-Tach gauge was rebuilt and recalibrated in 2008, and all gauges are in working order. Minor interior wear includes degrading seat stuffing and occasional panel misalignment on the driver’s side door.

Mechanical Highlights:

The original 440 Magnum V8 is tidy and runs well, though the owner reports a slight exhaust manifold leak. Restorative work included modern technical upgrades like front disc brakes and refreshed suspension for improved drivability. The chassis features undercoating applied during the restoration, protecting it from oxidation.

Additional Notes:

Delivered with BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires on Magnum 500 wheels, this Charger combines period-correct aesthetics with enhanced handling. It has been carefully maintained, with regular fluid changes and attentive ownership. This example offers the next owner a turn-key muscle car ready for show or spirited driving.

This two-owner Dodge Charger R/T is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-preserved, matching-numbers icon that blends vintage authenticity with tasteful modern upgrades.
