Hey Guys , I am Olli and Thank you for having me. I'm a Mopar Fan and proud owner of a 68 Charger from Germany. My Dodge is an original R/T which is in Germany since the late 80ties. It has a fully rebuild in 1997 where the original Color has been changed from Green to Silver. It's a non matching Car , cause the Engine is a 440 from 1970 but all the Rest , Gearbox and Drivetrain is original. I want to learn as much as possible about my car and about Mopars in general and I guess this is the right Place to go for it . In advance I apologize for maybe the on or other "stupid" Question and I hope that you guys and your Knowledge will raise my Wisdom also ;-) .......so Hi from Overseas Regards Olli

Welcome to FBBO from Ontario, Canada, Olli. That looks like a great '68 Charger you have. You get extra points for showing a picture on your first post. There is a lot of knowledge on this site to help you out.
