Mopar Muscle Association UK

Hi Everyone . This is my 1968 Dodge Charger 440 R/T just collected this week from Felixstowe after arriving from Salt Lake City Utah.
Has'nt run for 25 years I was told . Needs a trunk floor and rear quarter repairs /replacement . Quite a bit missing mechanically but although it looks tatty it's not too bad ! The interior needs some front seat covers / foams . Dash top, carpets and headlining , everything else is pretty nice inside .No rust to the front end or sills or chassis rails ,just a few dings here and there . It's a Genuine R/T on drum brakes and there is even a Carpenters tape in the 8 track !!
Just getting my head around what needs doing so I'm sure there will be a lot of questions to ask .
I've restored lots of cars before but this is a Boyhood Dream !!

Good luck with the Project, I am sure the drum brakes will end up on the Skip in due course....keep us posted on developments

Looks like a great project!

Bet you can't wait to get stuck in...........what else have you restored (always good to hear of people saving cars)?

Get yourself a workshop thread going when you have a chance........

Welcome aboard the Mopar financial ruin train.......

Sounds like you know the basics so you know what you're letting yourself in for 😉
Best of luck, you'll get lots of help, encouragement and p...taking here 😉

You found a great place for info, and you have your work cut out for you welcome, and good luck with the project

This was my last restoration bought for £258 ! A lot of work later with a Rover 3.9 V8 Holley 390 ,Offenhauser manifold , Lt77 5 speed gearbox etc
I sold it in December to finance the Dodge . It's been in Classic Ford Magazine as a feature car which was nice .
I have done 3 Mk2 2 door Escorts for my sons in the last 5 years and before that I restored a 1965 Mustang Coupe and a 1967 Ford Galaxie 500 convertible

That Capri is gorgeous, a friend has just sold his RS3100 after 14 years ownership.

Welcome love the charger ,I think it's the best year charger

Hello, nice project you got there. That Capri is stunning had one of those many moons ago

Hi and welcome.
Judging by that Capri , that 68's found a perfect home !
Well done , and look forward to its build

Loving the car. Seen far worse than that brought back from the dead. Keep us all posted in the workshop...

Another Mopar being saved, that's what we like to see! Keep us updated with the build & ask as many questions as you need.

Hi and welcome!!
Great car and look forward to seeing a build thread!!

Hi mate, what's to restore? That Charger looks spot on
Glad to hear of another '68 in West Sussex, I've got a few spares, not mint, but may be of use to you.
Good luck with it, my advice for what its worth is get it on the road and rag it...!!!

welcome to the club, hope that forklift hasn't done too much damage, last car I got it needed a new rad ,steering rods , front panel repair, stupid way to move a car , charger looks great, well done. Richard.
