My fathers 68 Charger R/T
Monday, June 06, 2005 10:37 AM
My dad has been working on his car for little over a year. He entered it in a local car show and won "Best of show" he was pretty excited and glad all the work payed off for him. He still has the interior left to do. Im glad to have him into his car so much cause he doesnt freak out as much when I buy something new for my car.

That Charger is pretty sick looking. I remember seeing pictures of it in the background when you use to post pics of your Sunfire progress.

Car looks nice, your Dad has some good taste.

Have a good one,
Justin

Nope you can tell by the Valve covers it isn't a Hemi, they're too narrow. IIRC it has the 440 Max Wedge in it. Gotta love an old Mopar those things are awesome

Yea its a 440... It has a lot of stuff done to the engine... I cant remember to much what is done... my dad has all the paperwork somewere. I know it was on the dyno at pulled 638 whp. so its not bad at all and will take a hemi... That was his first choice engine but couldent find a decent one. I took it for a drive around the block and the power is just insane and shifted at 4,000 rpm and it takes off like no other. I thought my moms TA was fast and its a POS lol. My parents are the coolest.

hahahahahaha

On subject of the charger...440's are pretty common....however it looks nice. I'm just not a mopar fan, but, still nice ride, I can respect a car that has paint

440's are easier to maintain than the hemihead 426's. Another way to tell if it's a hemi is if the plugwires are on top of the valve covers, similar to many DOHC heads. Tell your pop I'm very jealous and I dig the car completely... looks like Plum Crazy with S/S Cragars? Very nice combo.

I also like the plate frame.

Bullitt = one of the greatest movies ever. Followed closely by the original Gone in 60 Seconds. Both have the most excellent chase scenes.

the 440 isnt a MAX WEDGE , the only motors that were max wedge are the 413 and 426 , from the early 60's , my friends dad had a 63 super stock polara , it ran 11.1-11.0 on its stock tires and 10.8-10.9 on the white wall slicks


the rest of the mopar motors are considered wedge motors


and yes , PLUM CRAZY is the paint color as chrysler called it

Well, thank you for that, I've only heard the 440 referred to as either a 440 or 440 Max Wedge. Nice to know that it wasn't.
