[Mr. PNW]

Just happened across this, what a beauty. Not mine, unfortunately. I think Dodge must have checked the box, Sinister, when they built this.

How does one get additional information on Mecum auction cars? I signed in as I am a member, but found no additional information or even a estimate of value. How many triple black 68 Hemi 4-speed Chargers are there?

This belongs in the General Forum.... the car in my garage...

Hey you got some nice steel and I think your shop may be full.. wink wink I’ll gladly store it ! What a nice car ! Alan Jackson has one for a while and it floated around some country musicians for awhile and then I never seen it.

 

[Ironbuilt]

Triple black=Mopar heaven!!!

 

[F4R/T]

I’d love to have that ! Mopar heaven is correct!

 

[dadsbee]

Yes, optional order for either one or both.

That is the dream Charger for most B Body fans.

Nothing prettier than a shiny black car. Just have to keep it clean. I have a couple keeping me in training right now.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Beautiful car.

Ditch the dog bowls on the wheels and that would be the perfect Charger R/T!

Thousands of cars ordered that way, they got new mags the first week off the lot, no need to pay (waste) any extra money for different wheels and or caps.

That was my thoughts exactly, I got the full wheel covers that came with the 67 Satellite at no extra charge. Took me about 7 months but I got my chosen American Torque Thrust D's in 14X7.

 

[Budnicks]

I'd make room for it...

my bank account disagrees thou

I'd store the wheels & tires
& put something era-appropriate on it too

baby deserves some nice shoes
then drive the piss out of her, how it should be

 

[Richard Cranium]

I would imagine that the Charger is easily going to sell for over 200 large.

What did Submit set your bidding limit at???

I like the dog dish/redline setup. Only thing I would change would be wider rims and fatter tires in the rear. Something like this:

Not that much. The additional buyer's premium puts it over the edge for me.
