I see what looks like a 2” square patch by the small plastic plug If that’s what you mean. From the pitting showing up in the paint I would suspect that was a rust out. Not a big deal - looks like he patched it with steel so at least he attended to it and didn’t bondo it over. He could have...

What’s wrong with your spindels?

Correct, the VHT paint you used is block paint. It won’t take exhaust temperatures.

He was asking about the 68 R/T package - 440 and 426 were the only available engines at least thru 70.

Dana rear and 18 spline 4speed if 4 speed was specified.

There may be an exception(s) but except for spot undercoating in wheel wells, undercoating was usually a dealer or aftermarket option. Often with a car with old undercoating, as part of an overall clean up (not restoration) it's tempting to overspray the old, dried out, faded undercoating to...

I’m confused - for a 68 shouldn’t it be over sprayed with body color or did Dodge do Chargers differently?

“Thats a good point.. collector insurance isn't going to allow the miles ill pile on it.. they do need to make you whole again.. so similar condition, similar options, etc.. some comps would help with traditional insurance I suppose.. any suggestions??” Not really, you will need to shop around...

When you find your car be sure to shop for insurance carefully. For the most part, collector car insurance companies that offer agreed upon value policy’s, forbid driving the vehicle to work or on errands ( shopping, etc). You don’t want to get T-boned by a 5500 lb SUV with the driver on a...

They have two different gloss levels. I personally like the Eastwood gloss paint but the satin may be more correct. - not sure.

With 185,000 68/69 Chargers made you wouldn’t think the non-R/T Chargers would exactly be considered a rare car. An R/T obviously is considered rare enough.

The paint on that $63k Charger was just plain bad all over, lots of chips, bubbles, gouges, popping body filler all over. Figure $10,000 + additional for a quality paint job to make it presentable IMO? A couple thousand to replace/re-plate some trim and they have $75k wrapped up in a basic 383...

I’ve had a problem on both of mine with the right rear edge of the I can’t add too much on adjustment - the slots in the hinge allows some repositioning but it seldom (if ever) comes out perfect. But I did come up with a tip for fixing the right, rear corner of the lid from digging into the...

That’s all my 66/67 Ply cars have (4 screws). But Dodge does do things differently at times.

I saw that. Certainly shouldn’t be worth that kind of money for a very average car.

No revelation but most old project cars you could expend some labor and part out and sell off the parts for more money than what someone would pay for the whole hulk. This one may break the mold - at least to a couple of bidders.

Wow - $12.6k for that? Does that include a tetanus shot? He’ll through in a rear seat!:rofl:

That’s not exactly a very cost effective temporary solution - probably $1300 delivered. But I guess you could resell them later.

Maybe bare steel was correct. I assumed they were either dipped or got a little black out spray on the assembly line. If so, I think there are better raw steel mimicking paints out there than he used.

Green has never bothered me. Some interesting choice of paint detailing on the chassis - not sure I’ve seen silver/aluminum painted leaf springs too often. And for even half that price I would like to see a picture of the date code, engine stampings verifying the born-with engine. I didn’t...
