We found 15 1968 Dodge Charger listings across ClassicCars.com, Autotrader Classics, and Gateway Classic Cars — here’s what’s available right now and what the market looks like.
The 1968 Charger is the car that made Dodge a serious name in the muscle car conversation: the Coke-bottle body, the full-width hideaway grille, the round taillights that only lasted one model year, and a Bullitt chase scene that made it the villain everybody secretly rooted for. It is also one of the harder cars to shop for right now, because the market has split into two very different pools. One pool is the sub-$100,000 440 and 383 cars, where the question is how much of the car is original and how much is somebody’s build plan. The other is the Hemi pool, where five cars in this week’s search ask between $159,888 and $279,000 and the paperwork matters more than the paint. Anyone who has watched this model for a few years knows that “R/T” on a listing and a real R/T on a driveway are not always the same thing, and this week’s listings show why. Scroll down and you will see both ends of that spread, plus a few cars that are honestly hard to place.
We pulled 15 current 1968 Chargers from ClassicCars.com, Autotrader Classics, and Gateway Classic Cars, with asking prices running from $65,000 to $279,000 on the 14 cars that publish a price. Six of them are priced under $100,000, and the middle of the pack lands around $122,000. ClassicCars.com had by far the deepest inventory, and the one that stood out most is a Daytona-style 472 Hemi restomod from a Miami boutique dealer at $179,100 with 284 miles on it. Just as interesting is a numbers-matching 440 R/T in original SS1 yellow at $139,500 that asks about $20,000 less than a yellow R/T with an aftermarket Hemi swapped in. Nothing turned up this week on BringATrailer, Hemmings, Cars & Bids, or eBay Motors that we could verify as a live 1968 Charger listing, so treat this as a snapshot of the dealer and classified market, not the auction market.
Watch: Auto Sport Groups Walks Through a 426 Hemi R/T
Auto Sport Groups is a Boca Raton, Florida dealer, and this video is their walk-through of the silver 1968 Charger R/T they have listed on Autotrader Classics (it is listing #12 below). The video title and the dealer’s write-up line up: a 426 Hemi, TorqueFlite 727 automatic, Sure Grip rear end, black vinyl top, tail stripes, and a blue interior. What makes it worth a look before you spend time on the listing text is that the dealer is upfront in the write-up that this is a refurbished car with a replacement 426, not a never-touched survivor. Watching a walk-through of a swapped-engine car with that disclosure in mind is a good way to practice what you will be looking for on every other Hemi car on this list.

More 1968 Dodge Charger Listings Available Now
These 15 cars come from ClassicCars.com, Autotrader Classics, and Gateway Classic Cars, listed from the lowest asking price to the highest.
1968 Dodge Charger — $65,000 (OBO)
Black over burgundy • 4-speed manual • ClassicCars.com (Bradenton, FL)
A V-8 manual car with aftermarket wheels that the listing calls partially restored, from a seller who says he has ten Charger projects in progress. The write-up is two lines long and the engine size is not stated, so this is a phone-call-and-inspection car, not a click-and-buy one.
1968 Dodge Charger 440 — $69,994
Purple over white • automatic • ClassicCars.com (MGM Classic Cars, Addison, IL)
A Mild-built 440 behind a rebuilt 727 with roughly 900 miles on the rebuild, on an 8¾-inch rear end, according to the dealer. The VIN in the listing is partly masked with X characters, so ask for the full number before you get excited about what it really started life as.
1968 Dodge Charger 383 — $93,500
Racing Green Metallic over green • 2,331 miles • automatic • ClassicCars.com and Autotrader Classics (Classic Auto Mall, Morgantown, PA)
A 383 car with very low listed mileage and a distinctive factory-style color. The listing leans on period magazine copy more than on specifics about restoration history, so ask what the 2,331 miles refers to.
1968 Dodge Charger R/T 440 — $98,750
Green metallic over white • TorqueFlite automatic • ClassicCars.com (Nevada Classics, Las Vegas, NV)
The seller calls it highly original with a matching-numbers 440, factory air conditioning, bucket seats with console, and a bumblebee tail stripe. Red flag in the listing itself: the “VIN” field shows 1120, which is the dealer’s stock number, so the real VIN has to come from the seller before the matching-numbers claim means anything.
1968 Dodge Charger 440 — $99,979
Black over maroon • 56,726 miles • automatic • Autotrader Classics and ClassicCars.com (American Classics, Pompano Beach, FL)
A two-owner 440 car described as recently restored, with new dual exhaust, a maroon interior, and a clean title. Listed mileage is the highest of any car in this roundup, which at least gives you a believable number to work with.
1968 Dodge Charger Restored R/T Build — $99,999
Tuxedo Black over black • automatic • ClassicCars.com (ClassicCarGuy.com, San Luis Obispo, CA)
A builder car: the seller says he restored it, sold it, and can build another just like it, with new quarters, new trunk pan, new drivetrain, and no patch panels. The same seller has near-identical black Chargers listed at $100,000 and $120,000, so this is a shop’s product line, not a one-owner story.
1968 Dodge Charger — $104,995
Omaha Orange over black • 239 miles • 4-speed manual • ClassicCars.com (Streetside Classics, Phoenix, AZ)
A bold orange manual car with a refreshed drivetrain, upgraded suspension, and a clean factory-style interior, per the dealer. The four-speed is the draw here, though the listing is generic about what is under the hood, so get the engine and build sheet before you fall for the color.
1968 Dodge Charger R/T 440 — $139,500
SS1 Yellow over black • 727 automatic • ClassicCars.com and Autotrader Classics (American Steel Classics, Celeste, TX)
The seller describes a real XS29L R/T with a numbers-matching 440 and transmission, a factory restoration in its original yellow-and-black combination, and the original dash VIN, fender tag, body stamps, and broadcast sheet. This is the cleanest-documented R/T on the list, and it asks less than the Hemi-swap car below it.
1968 Dodge Charger R/T — $159,888
Yellow over black • automatic • ClassicCars.com and Autotrader Classics (MGM Classic Cars, Addison, IL)
A genuine R/T that left the factory with a 440 and now carries an aftermarket 426 Hemi, according to the dealer’s own description, so this is not an original Hemi car despite the price. The VIN in the listing is partly masked, which is a reason to ask for the full number and the fender tag photos before negotiating.
1968 Dodge Charger R/T 426 Hemi (J-Code) — $173,950 (OBO)
Fully restored • 3.55 Sure Grip rear end • ClassicCars.com (Hot Antique Garage, St-Jérôme, Quebec)
The seller calls it a true XS29J Hemi R/T with a fully rebuilt, date-code-correct original 426 that has only 470 miles on it since completion. Priced in US dollars, listed in Canada, so factor in export, import, and duty paperwork before you get attached.
1968 Dodge Charger Daytona Restomod — $179,100
Green over suede and leather • 284 miles • Autotrader Classics (Mikalyzed Auto Boutique, Miami, FL)
A rotisserie build with more than 2,500 hours claimed, a 472-cubic-inch Hemi making about 600 horsepower, Wilwood brakes, and 20-inch carbon fiber wheels. The Daytona was a 1969 model, so this is a 1968 dressed in the nose and wing, and it is priced as a custom build rather than as a numbers-matching car.
1968 Dodge Charger R/T 426 Hemi — $179,900
Silver over blue • 727 automatic • Autotrader Classics (Auto Sport Classics, Boca Raton, FL)
This is the car in the video above, and the price is marked as reduced. The write-up says the car began life as a Hemi car, was refurbished in the mid-2000s, and now has a replacement 426 installed, and it lists no mileage, so ask both what “replacement” means and how many miles are on the refresh.
1968 Dodge Charger 440 Rotisserie Restoration — $249,900
Red over black vinyl roof • 25 miles • 440 with Edelbrock 4-barrel • ClassicCars.com and Autotrader Classics (Vanguard Motor Sales, Plymouth, MI)
Vanguard says it was restored to the closest detail with no expense spared, on Magnum 500 wheels with BF Goodrich Radial T/As. The price is a big step over every other 440 car on this list, so you are paying for the restoration quality and the dealer, not for a rarer drivetrain.
1968 Dodge Charger R/T XS29J 426 Hemi Export Car — $279,000
Blue over black • automatic • ClassicCars.com and Autotrader Classics (American Steel Classics, Celeste, TX)
The most expensive car on the list: a very original-looking Hemi R/T exported new to Venezuela and brought back to the US in 2016, with an odometer showing 23,204 kilometers (about 14,500 miles per the seller). It retains its dash VIN, fender tag, body stamps, a CertiCard, and a Spanish-language Chrysler International owner’s manual.
1968 Dodge Charger 383 — Call for availability
Green • 72,951 miles • automatic • Gateway Classic Cars (Las Vegas, NV)
A 383 car with custom wheels, power brakes, and power steering. Gateway publishes no price, and the page contradicts itself on the interior: the spec box says black, the description says white, so look at the photos before trusting either.
What the Market Is Telling Us
Across the 14 cars that publish a price, asking prices run from $65,000 to $279,000, with six under $100,000 and a middle of roughly $122,000. Autotrader Classics’ own page for 1968 Chargers showed a low of $69,994, an average of $154,951, and a high of $279,000 across its 11 cars on the day we checked. The spread at the bottom is explained by build story: the $65,000 to $99,999 cars are 383s and 440s with partial or builder restorations, while the $139,500 car earns its premium with a numbers-matching 440, original color, and documents. The spread at the top is mostly the Hemi: all five Hemi cars (real, replacement, aftermarket, or restomod) ask $159,888 or more, and the one non-Hemi car above that line is the $249,900 Vanguard 440, which is priced on restoration quality.
A realistic budget picture from this week’s list looks like this. At $65,000 to $100,000 you are buying a driver whose story you have to check yourself, often with a swapped drivetrain or a seller who builds Chargers for resale. At $104,995 to $140,000 you start to see low-mileage refreshes and the documented numbers-matching R/T. Above $159,000 the pricing is driven mostly by the engine, and by whether the Hemi is original or not. We found no BringATrailer or Cars & Bids results to compare against, so we cannot tell you how these asking prices compare with what Chargers actually bring at auction.
For a buyer actively watching this model, supply looks reasonable in the $65,000 to $180,000 range and thin above it, with only two cars asking more than $200,000. The Boca Raton Hemi car is flagged as a reduced price, which is the one visible sign of seller flexibility in this group. If a documented R/T under $150,000 is your goal, the yellow 440 car is the one to price-check against the rest first.
What to Check Before You Buy
Rust listings and write-ups that turned up in this week’s research kept naming the same places: the trunk floor, rear valance and corners, wheel housings, and the area around the rear window; the rear quarter panels and wheel wells; the floorboards, rockers, and torque box; and the torsion bar crossmember and rear frame rails. One Texas 383 listing says repairs were completed in several of those areas, which is exactly the kind of claim to verify yourself with a flashlight and a magnet. Heavy body filler on fender tops can hide rust underneath, so check them as well. Pull the carpet where you can and look at the floor pans from underneath.
The drivetrain story on this list is mostly about swaps. The yellow Addison R/T has an aftermarket Hemi in place of its original 440, the Boca Raton car has a replacement 426, the Miami car is a 472 Hemi restomod, and several 440 cars are described as freshly built. None of that is automatically bad, but each one changes what the car is worth and what you should ask the seller, so ask for engine and transmission casting numbers and date codes, and for receipts on the work. Do the same on any car described as numbers matching, and compare the claim against the VIN, fender tag, and broadcast sheet.
For documentation, the listings we read keep returning to the same four items: the dash VIN, the fender tag, the body SO number stamps, and the broadcast sheet, with some sellers adding a Galen Govier report. In this week’s listings, sellers pair XS29L with the 440 R/T and XS29J with the Hemi R/T, while XP29-prefix cars are base Chargers; one seller says outright his is a former 318 car badged as an R/T. A documented numbers-matching car is worth the premium if you plan to hold it or show it, but if you only plan to drive it, a well-done driver with receipts is the smarter dollar.
Gear to Bring When You Go Look at It
