When Dodge redesigned the Charger for 1968, the gamble paid off far bigger than the sales team expected — the new coke-bottle-bodied car outsold its struggling first-generation predecessor by a wide margin. On this episode of Counting Cars, Danny and his crew build a fully customized tribute to that redesign, while Ryan and Shannon separately restore a father-and-son’s 1959 Harley-Davidson Panhead Chopper. Watch to see both builds come together in the same shop.
At Sweden’s Power Big Meet — the largest gathering of American cars in Europe — a 1968 Dodge Charger doesn’t bother with a quarter mile. It just plants its rear tires and lets a crowd of onlookers decide whether to cheer or step back. Years later, viewers still say they come back to this exact clip just to feel it again. Watch to see why a simple burnout still beats a modern Hellcat’s, according to the comments.
This 1968 Dodge Charger restomod has drawn reactions in at least six languages since it went up, with viewers calling its blacked-out grille everything from menacing to vampiric. Underneath the coke-bottle body line sits a fully modernized chassis and an exhaust note tuned to sound as aggressive as the car looks. The build description calls it a fusion of vintage muscle and modern engineering. See the finished Charger in motion to judge for yourself.
He Crammed a 1,500-Horsepower Hellcat Into a 1968 Dodge Charger Named ‘Tater’ — And It Actually Runs
“Tater,” Westen Champlin’s 1968 Dodge Charger, has taken plenty of abuse across his build videos, but stuffing a supercharged Hellcat engine rated near 1,500 horsepower into its 58-year-old unibody pushed things further than usual. The swap leans on aftermarket Holley EFI to run a powertrain that chassis was never designed for, and it shows almost immediately once real torque hits the driveline. Fans in the comments are already calling Champlin an honorary member of the Hemi brothers for what happens next. Watch how far belt slack and 1,500 horsepower can push a vintage Mopar before something gives.
A 1970 Dodge Challenger chases down a 1968 Dodge Charger in this scene from the largely forgotten 1997 television remake of Vanishing Point, built around the famous line, It takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar. Decades later, Mopar fans in the comments are still debating whether the movie’s own premise actually holds up, and still wincing at exactly what happens to the Charger. Watch to see whether badge loyalty was ever really the deciding factor.
A 1968 Dodge Charger body, a twin-turbo Viper V10, and a Corvette chassis underneath — this Swedish-built hybrid took five years to complete and reportedly left Jay Leno speechless. Street-legal and rated around 1,000 horsepower, it’s the kind of build that mixes three unrelated platforms into something none of their original manufacturers ever intended. Commenters keep coming back to one detail above all else: the sound. Watch to hear why.
1968 was a one-year-only moment for the Dodge Charger: its dual circular taillights and reworked fastback body never appeared again after that model year. Under the hood of this R/T sits a 440 Magnum V8 good for 375 horsepower and a sub-6.2-second run to 60 mph. That same body style would go on to chase Steve McQueen through Bullitt just months later.
This 1968 Dodge Charger was hidden so deep in an old junkyard it wasn’t even visible from the road — and it might still be sitting there if a family hadn’t decided to buy it on the spot. The car’s condition surprised viewers, but the real standout was a young kid confidently correcting an adult’s Super Bee trivia. Watch to see the find and the moment that had everyone talking.
The 1968 Dodge Charger redefined what a Mopar muscle car could look like, but very few left the factory with this exact combination: a 426 Hemi, a four-speed manual, and a paint color believed — though never fully confirmed — to be unique to this single car. Featured as Episode #154 of V8TV’s Muscle Car of the Week series and restored with body and paint work commenters specifically praised, this Charger sits at the intersection of several kinds of rarity at once. Watch to see the details that make collectors call this Hemi car a genuine home run.
This 1968 Dodge Charger from Vanguard Motor Sales isn’t just restored — it’s a complete nut-and-bolt, rotisserie rebuild finished in 2005 with under 1,500 miles driven since. The numbers-matching 383 V8, factory colors, and a handful of quiet original options tell a very specific story about how this car was ordered new. Here’s what actually separates a six-figure classic from an ordinary one.
