Bought this 1968 Charger 440 auto from a dealer in Illinois first week back in May and yesterday it was finally delivered to home. I have to say that its better in the flesh than in the dealers pictures (which were very extensive) so I am well chuffed with getting my dream car...... no doubt as I get to know the car there will be a list of bits needed and questions to be asked but that's half the fun. Just waiting on the paperwork now to get it on the road....

Rock n roll. Now THATS a colour. I love it - well done. Yes there will be stuff to do but what a great looking base. Chuffed for you.

Good find, that's a real beauty!
Nice to see people bringing in cars, makes a change from them all going out to Europe!

I like everything apart from the dart green interior.
If it was standard to the car leave it, if not. Black would look awesome.

Pretty much use it and abuse it....... have some fun..... however drum brakes and no power assist could get interesting !
Got to fix the handbrake, wipers don't work, headlight covers don't flip..... so other than fix a few little issues then get an MOT there really isn't anything else to do..
