This is a video to help people identify the three different years of the second gen chargers ( 1968-1970) This covers all the major styling changes through the years that will help you tell immediately weather it is a 68 69 or 70 charger. Many people know the grills and headlight changes but there were quite a few more changes through the years.

Very simple. 1968 - Open grille, round taillights 1969 - Split grille, long taillights 1970 - Open grille, long taillights

@HuffyBoi_952 2 года назад

taillights?

@slayer5813 2 года назад

Another note on the door lock relocation from 68 to 69/70. There were consumer complaints about having to reach way back with their right arm to unlock the door causing a discomfort. So Chrysler moved it towards the center of the door for an easier reaching range. Not so sure it was the theft reason as you could do the same with a longer reach tool to a 69/70. But I could be wrong.

@DR440 3 года назад

Spot on! 1970 Chargers were also the first year to have the pistol grip shifter. It also was the first year of electric headlight doors as 1968 and 1969 are vacuum.

@floyds.mayhem.garage 3 года назад

technically no!😁 for the second gen yes, but 66 and 67 chargers were electric headlight assemblies. so 68 and 69 were the only two years with vacuum. but thats a different video all together

@moparnut6286 3 года назад

No matter what the 68 charger is the baddest assed! Charger to me! And the 70 charger with it's wrap around front bumper is gorgeous to me! It's like a big jet intake from a f100 fighter plane!

@79tazman 8 месяцев назад

68 and 69 are the best i don't like the front end of a 70 or the taillights of the 70

@moparnut6286 3 года назад

To me it's second nature to know the differences on all the chargers..... But to the new to the hobby this a good video showing all the changes in the model years especially for the the younger people who didn't grow up with these cars, I had a kid come up and ask is that a 70 charger? When I had a 70 dart I explained it's different and told him about exports that did come as A body based chargers it's always cool to share and teach those who will be here to take care of our old cars in the future.

@floyds.mayhem.garage 3 года назад

it's second nature to me too, but ive come to find, not everyone shares the same passion/obsession that some of us do. and it turns out, a lot of people look for videos like this

@moparnut6286 3 года назад

@@floyds.mayhem.garage That's was my point we need to share information about our hobby freely with those that show interest in our hobby especially young people or it will die on the vine. I'm not down with the people who say it's a secret I can't tell you.... There's no fun in that! Your videos shares the joy of owning an old mopar....or any old car and keeps people coming back!

@SinisterSixty8 3 года назад

Two more differences of early 1968 Chargers: Ash tray and trunk lid underside support. Early 1968 Charger models had 'slide down' ash trays whereas later 1968 models had fold out ash trays. Later model 1968 Chargers had a smoothed trunk lid underside support whereas early 1968 Chargers had 'cut-outs' in the underside support.

@PaulyDTheKiwi 7 месяцев назад

Awesome video thank you. Just one question. I have noticed that a lot of American folks say Acrost, is that how it is spelled and pronounced? Because Downunder we spell it Across and pronounce it without the letter T on the end. Was honestly curious because as I said earlier, I hear it pronounced as Acrost from a lot of American RU-vidrs. Anyway, thanks again for a great video.

@floyds.mayhem.garage Год назад

how old do I look to you?😂 I'm 10 years shy of 40, yet alone being old enough to have owned it long enough to let it sit for 40 years. I've only owned this car a few years, and its was a shell when I bought it, it didn't even have quarter panels

@valso Год назад

I love the '70 edition with the long tail lights and IIRC what I've read about it, it's HEMI which is a brutalism on wheels. Btw, is it just me or the '68 doors are longer than the doors of the other two editions? At least looking at pictures (and this video here as well) the '68 doors look 6-10 inches longer than the others.

@floyds.mayhem.garage 3 года назад

yeah, there's a bunch of little differences on the interior. stitching pattern on the seats, floor auto shifter handle. seat style, with or without headrest, high back 70 seats, technically the 68 fenders are stand alone as well, where they bolt to the radiator support is different. the hood rest is mounted on the radiator support in 1968, it was on the fender in 69 and 70 making the radiator support and fenders different, they can be pretty easily modified for both though

I am looking to get a 69 should I get one that cheep and then fix it up or should I spend the money for one that already is fixed up?

@floyds.mayhem.garage 3 года назад

depends on a few factors. if you're able to do the work yourself, you can save a ton of money building one yourself. but if not, it usually more cost affective to buy one thats done or close to it

@JimmyLoose 2 года назад

Everything you like about 68's is everything I don't. The front grille with no separator looks like the mouth of a Blue Whale sucking up plankton. Also, the taillights look like they are sitting out in the middle of a field all by their lonesome with how much blank metal there is around them. '69 made good use of that space. Also, you didn't explain WHY the '70 has a different bumper, hood and fenders. Yes, I know why.
