WTB 1968 Charger in canada or eastern USA

[tommygun]

Hi All,

Figured its worth asking here again, I'm looking for a 68 charger project, have a decent budget for one, I have a 70 charger 500 im currently restoring. I could trade my 70 for the right 68 . If its worth more than my 70 I could add cash.

I'm in Nova scotia and there isn't much left here , any leads for finding one would be appreciated.

Ive had a few 69s and 70s but cant seem to find a 68.

Look West young man. Possibly post an ad in Kijiji in BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan. Dodge in Classic cars.
If you want to you could possibly go with a 2000k radius of Saskatoon.
They are out there.

Oh I litterally check kijiji every 20 min , I found my 70 in alberta and shipped it here 8 months ago. Hard part is finding sellers willing to deal with somone who needs to arrange shipping etc. Lost a few 68s to local buyers beating me to them with cash in hand even tho they said they would hold it etc. Then some won't send fender tag pics etc , lost of scammers too like the 3 in quebec for sale

I have a good friend who has one. It's a 318 car & needs work, but it's all there for the most part. Not sure if he wants to sell on not, but I could ask. He has had the car at least 20 years or so & it's just the same as when he bought it. It's been kept in storage. I can find out if he wants to sell if you're interested. It will take some time getting pics of the car though.

There is a light green 68 for sale on here right now. It's been painted, but is kind of a mess. Needs to be redone, but maybe worth a phone call?

Very true just with diesel prices prob cost 6k to ship across canada.

Well I found me a 68, ended up buying the Green 68 above. 1 of 74 68 383 2bbrl 4 speed cars built. Price was right considering it needs a lot of steel. Figured pick up a 68 now since I have no luck finding 68s in the last 10 years,

Thanks all for your help, the forum did lead me to a nicer 68 but twice the price and I didnt want to buy all the extra new stuff I didnt choose in a package deal.
