If you are looking for a classic muscle car that combines style, performance and rarity, you might want to check out this Red (PP1 color code) 1968 Dodge Charger RT 426 Hemi. This stunning vehicle is one of the most desirable Chargers ever made, with only 211 units produced with the legendary 426 Hemi engine and a 4-speed manual transmission.
The Charger R/T (Road/Track) was introduced in 1968 as a high-performance version of the redesigned Charger, which featured a sleek, fastback body with hidden headlights and a full-width taillight. The R/T came standard with a 375-horsepower 440 Magnum V8, but for an extra $712, you could opt for the optional 426 Street Hemi, which delivered 425 horsepower and 490 lb.-ft. of torque.
The Hemi engine was a masterpiece of engineering, with hemispherical combustion chambers, dual 4-barrel carburetors, solid-lifter camshaft, forged steel crankshaft and connecting rods, and dual exhausts. The Hemi also required heavy-duty components to handle its power, such as a Dana 60 rear axle with Sure Grip limited-slip differential, heavy-duty suspension, power front disc brakes, and 15-inch black steel wheels with redline tires.
This legendary American classic muscle car is a stunning example of raw power and rarity. It has been restored to concours condition, with flawless red and black bumble bee black stripes, a black vinyl roof, and a black vinyl interior. The car retains its original matching-numbers Hemi engine, which has been rebuilt and tuned to perfection. The car also features an AM radio, a Hurst shifter.
The red 1968 Dodge Charger RT 426 Hemi is a true collector’s item that represents the peak of American muscle car performance and design. It is not only a beautiful and fast car, but also a rare and valuable piece of automotive history. If you have the chance to own one of these magnificent machines, you will not regret it.
