We are looking for a 1968 Charger to buy for my stepson and myself to enjoy. We plan to keep the car indefinitely as a family heirloom. My stepson is an experienced auto mechanic by trade so we can maintain or repair the car relatively economically.
Must haves:
-Cosmetic condition is very important. We don't want the cost or delays associated with rust repair, re-chroming or repainting etc. No rust!
-We are also looking for a car equipped with a 440 cubic inch engine. It does not have to be original to the car. Stock condition or a mild rebuild with a little hotter cam is ok, but not modified to where it's street manners are compromised too much.
-A mostly original unmodified looking car in good driving condition.
Important but not a deal breaker:
-a car that was born a RT.
-a car that came from the factory with a four speed transmission.
-a car that has power steering.
-if it's a torqueflite car it must have a console shifter. No column shifter.
Nice to have:
-Factory air conditioning, as part of the plumbing will be there to add modern Vintage AC.
-power brakes with front disc brakes.
-tic toc tach.
Exterior color and interior trim:
-Black, black vinyl roof, black interior top choice.
-Blues and greens liked.
-Red ok
-No white, gold, silver, beige, tan, bronze, burgundy, yellow or turquoise cars.
-We would prefer a vinyl roof, preferably black.
Some cars online (that we have not seen) that fit our general description have asking prices in the $70,000-$80,000 range.
We would prefer to be at the low end of this range closer to $70,000. We have cash in hand and can travel to inspect the car. We would need access to a car lift.
Thanks.
John
