actually the opposite is true. cars in the 60's and 70's were worn out by 100k if you were lucky. they rattled, rotted, burned oil and leaked water around the windows, got crappy gas mileage and were death traps. i'm not familiar with the chargers of the era but the camaros, gto's, chevelles, etc were pretty junky after only a few years. they rode and handled pretty poorly and as for performance, todays 6 cylinders would beat a lot of those v8's. but the styling of that era was awesome and you could sleep in the back seat.
@@rodeleon2875 You make valid points comparing current to the nostalgia and function of these great cars of the past. Still, a lot to appreciate for a variety of reasons and perspective.
Absolutely gorgeous. I love it. In 1969 I was 22 and bought a new Chevelle SS 396, black vinyl roof, Le Mans Blue, 4 speed. It was my pride and joy. This beautiful Charger is a close color match. I wasn't smart like you. I sold it in 1975. I sure wish I had it back for shows.
Back in 1982 I could have bought a 70 chevelle ss454 with a dented front fender from a car lot in Vancouver BC for 1200 bucks , I thought they were crazy . I just shake my head every time I think about that ! Lol
There's a gorgeous '69 Caprice for sale around here in similar shade of metallic turquoise with white vinyl top and turquoise interior... now that my Crown Vic has been stolen, I should buy it...
@@gerry-p9x It has been garaged since 1992. Before that it was outside since we did not have any garage space while growing up. It had the typical Mopar rust. Floor pans, truck floor, rear quarters.
@barfoonisland2003 I get your sentiment,,, but I have a 1971 Challenger convertible with a 440 and compared to my 2013 Challenger with a 3.6L,,,, the old stuff sounds and runs better in a straight line,,, but beyond that,,, the new stuff is WAY better handling, way better NVH, and economy is simply no comparison.... so, I WISH they would go back and do a modern copy of the 68 Chargers like they did the Challenger and we'd be living the dream!
@@joeysplats3209 Well said. But we didn't turn into a technical society as the politicians apparently had planned, so now we need all those jobs and more back here again in our country.
I fell in love with this car when it was featured in the Steve McQueen film Bullit. Wow what a car. Needed more rubber to put on the road, nevertheless...
It's always cool seeing original owners. My father still owns his 69 Corvette he bought new. Not many original owners left and not too far in the future there won't be any left. Thanks for uploading this.
I like talking to the owners of these cars .and the nice thing was back in the day it didn't take two jobs to buy them .and the only thing you plugged in was a toaster. 😊😊
Pretty car! My mom bought a new 66 Pontiac Le Mans in the fall of 1965 that had the same interior and exterior color scheme, including the black vinyl roof. Fabulous color!!
God Bless this Original, onwer Of this beautiful 2Door 1968 Dodge Charger car with 440Ci V8 engine !! Beautiful car and Beautiful Original lady owner too 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😃😃💪💪❤️❤️🔥🔥💯
Thanks for posting that, I thought the engine was a 426 hemi. The 440.big block was a dynamite engine, both the 426 hemi and 440 engines that Dodge ever produced.
@@tommcconville677 You can tell it's not a hemi because of the valve covers and sparkplug wires. Yeah, thanks for stating it was a 440 as I could not hear the audio very well and listened to the video twice and could not hear the engine size mentioned.
I was a 16 year old "kid", my first car was a 2 year old 68 Charger, 383 w/auto. Boy, so many memories in that car! I love the one here, all nice and restored. Wish I had mine back lookin' that good!
In the summer of 1969, fresh out of high school, I nearly bought a used '66 Charger as transportation to my first full-time job. My dad loaned me the money and signed for the car. All I remember about the test drive was that it had one of those sliding, thermometer-style speedometers. I ended up buying a '65 Corvair, of all things.
@@DezzysSpeedShop That speedometer type is most often called a "ribbon speedometer". I just looked it up. Oddly, none of the Chargers had that type. I just looked that up too. Anyway, it makes me wonder what other car I was looking at those many years ago that had that type speedometer. I know I gave consideration to a Charger, and I bought the Corvair. Must have been another car in the mix in that car lot. The Corvair served me fairly faithfully for a couple of years when money was hard to come by.
BEAUTIFUL CAR! I'm a Mopar guy by raising, My Grandparents owned the last Plymouth Only Dealership in the Midwest. They opened it in 1946 after Grandpa came back from WWII and it was sold then closed in 1987 when my Grandpa passed away.
@@bradhampton6457 No, Mexico Missouri. about a hundred miles ish West of St. Louis. The building is still there, the grandson of the guy who bought it and closed it from grandparents runs a Golf Cart dealership out of it.
Cute lady, beautiful car great colour combination , I was surprised to see it was column auto. I love that they have cared for it so well. How it should be in my books too.
When I was in high school. (1976) .One of my friends had a 1968 ,383 super bee .. it was orange on black interior. We would drive around all weekend. lol Those were the days. I had a 1968 , 289 pony mustang.
Looks just like my first car after graduating high school in 78!! Bought a 68 charger with the 383 and all the goodies!! Interior looks exactly like the one I had but mine was red with the black vinyl top!! Boy if that car could talk the stories it would tell !! Lots of back seat boogie, quarter mile strip racing, keg party's , fastest I ever went in a car was 135 in my 68 charger!! Wish I kept her with what they are going for nowadays!!
I was 12 YO when that car was bought !! It is a beauty, and is obviously loved by the lady that bought it. And the lady that owns it is a beauty, too ! It is so good to see this fine automobile, cars like this one are more than just cars-they are part of a great time in the history of cars....
Love the column shift.......My father had a "68 Coronet RT 440,column shift,bench seat 2 door hard top that he used as a winter work car back in the late "70s........With snow tires it rolled like a Sherman tank.👍👍👍👍
My dad bought one identical except his was non R/T. Same color and top and all! Beautiful! He bought it when he got back from the Army. His was 383 automatic. Amazing car you have there!
68 is hands down my favorite…the binocular style tail lights set this car apart…high school buddy got one in 73, with 32k, same colors as yours with automatic console, 318ci…sweet car, I was jealous!!!
Thanks for making a nice video here, Dezzy. As I listened to the story of the woman ordering her new car, I was wondering if she might be a gear-head. As the conversation of your questioning continued, sure enough it turned out that she is a gear-head. A sensible gear-head behind the wheel. Another nice part of her story is that she stated of her husband liking the car too. It's a beautiful car, and another that I had admired during my pre-teen youth. And it's hard to really believe in about three and a half years from now, that car will be sixty years old.
You talk about hot. I had a 66 catalina 2dr., 389 6pk, black vinyl top just like that chrysler, red paint, black interior, no AC, and I live in Florida. That car was hotter than hell in the summer time. Nice car lady!
Brings back a memory 😂😂. Really don’t remember the year but it’s about a Plymouth coupe with 440 and a 4 speed manual. Lady down the street about 62 because she had just retired from the State, bought the Plymouth and ran it at the drag strip on weekends, during the week she worked on the car to make it faster, lady was a kick.😅😅
There can't be many like this, I know only one car, a Datsun 240 Z, that has the same owner from out of the showroom in the early 70's, UK in Kent. Rare to find any one owner cars of this age, that Charger looks gorgeous, sounds cool too.
Perfect 😁 My dad bought a 1968 R/T with all the hipo parts Dodge had for it then including dual offset 4 barrel carbs. $300 needed body work but the mechanical side was perfect.
My daily shopper is a 427 Cobra i keep my Charger R/T in the garage, as it only comes out when the weather is fine. I can see her now, little old lady with a passion for fast motors.
MY DAD BOUGHT HIS 1968 PLYMOUTH SATELLITE SAME COLOR Q7 TURQUOISE, THE CHARGER AND THE ROADRUNNER , DART GTS , BARRACUDA FORMULA S WERE ALL GREAT LOOKING & RUNNING RELIABLE TO THE HILT CARS !!! I HAD THE SAME CAR AS MY DADS , THE OPTIONAL 383 AND A WHITE TOP W / Q7 TURQUOISE WITH BLACK INTERIOR W / AIR !!!!
This car originally had A/C; however the compressor and associated components are missing. Note the dashboard vents, which were only provided on air conditioned cars.
@@phillipcramer7936 THEY PROBABLY WERE TAKEN OFF , YOU LOSE 5 - 10 HORSEPOWER WITH IT CONNECTED OR THE COMPRESSOR FAILED DUE TO LACK OF MAINTENANCE, COMPRESSOR OIL VERY IMPORTANT ON THESE UNITS !!! THE 440 - SIX PACK & HEMI CARS WERE NOT AVAILABLE DUE TO THE AIR CLEANER FITMENTS !!!!
The color code for the car is LL1 Medium Dark Turquoise. I have the original build sheets along with all other original paperwork. The only thing that was not kept was the original window sticker. It is an original AC car but while driving it when I was 16 in the mid 80's the AC compressor seized while driving throwing sparks everywhere. Had to remove the belts driving the compressor to get it home. The AC unit has been removed since then.
@@RayEC70 THERE MIGHT BE A STRONG POSSIBLY THAT THE PAINT CODES FOR DODGE AND PLYMOUTH COULD BE DIFFERENT !!! IN 1981 THE A/C COMPRESSOR SIEZED UP ON MY CAR AND BROKE THE FAN BELTS , THEY HAVE TO BE SERVICED IN ORDER TO HAVE A LONG LIFE !!!!!
I would have bought one new in 68( was a baby then), because of the looks and having owned one later on, it was a comfortable car to drive. It fit my body perfectly.
Just Beautiful! The Chargers were built in Fenton, Missouri/ STL Plant #1 South 1968- 1974, I'm retired @ Chrysler/ Daimler- Benz 2007 U.A.W. Local 136
I grew up in Buffalo. These cars rusted terribly. The quarter panels at the bottom and around the hood and under the landau material. But, we loved them. I was just a kid at the time.
One of the most beautiful car rears ever created.
Especially in the superb turquoise metallic colour.
The rear taillights are very similar to those of a 1958 Pontiac, which was quite sharp in its own right
Truth!
They bought this beauty new,about 56 years ago! That's awesome, you don't see that to often! Beautiful color,combo!❤

Well done , great work & dedication.👍🏆

I'll likely be dead by 2080 but Imma do my damndest to keep my 2023 300C 6.4 Hemi
Love that colour on it ! Back when cars built with quality & pride . Not like todays garbage.
