I Bought The 1968 Dodge Charger Of My Dreams! Will It Drive Home 300 Miles? 

'68 is my all time favorite Dodge...one of the coolest cars ever designed. Congratulations Dude.

I've been lucky enough to have owned two 69 Dodge Chargers. Bought one in 81 in a junkyard in National City, CA. $500. Sold it when I was sent overseas. 383, console, 727, Dana 60. In 85 I bought another in Denver, $1200. 318, 727, column shift. No posi. I'll never be able to own another; they're just too expensive now. I have a 64 Valiant to restore. It's good. I like yours!

Well done Man! 68 Dodge Charger still rules in beauty. Even with a number of things to make it solid, it's money well spent, just a too cool looking whip. Congratulations, you got yourself a keeper.

Great job showing the reality of driving an old car a long distance, in an entertaining way. Also does a good job of showing why restomods / pro-touring is popular, and also what a bargain modern muscle cars are.

I enjoyed the whole video. I have a 69 Charger (and 05 Ram). I can relate. When you love your car, all its quirks can be endured... glad to see you're not afraid to drive in the rain. Hello from Wisconsin

There's nothing better than looking across an acre of sheetmetal hood and pulling it into the garage for the first time. Well done, sir.

I liked how although it was a big car, sitting in the driver's seat, it felt like you were in a sports car.

If I was going to have this style, this would be the year. My friend has had his since he was 17. He has put a lot of love into it. For me though, you can't beat a 67 charger. It's just magical. One day I'll find one, or at least a clean enough one to work on. The lights, the body line, the interior, it was the whole package.

Great car , I bought one in 1972 for $1200. Kept it until about 1974 and due to the 1970's gasoline shortages I only could get $500 for it. Today , this is hard to believe , but many of these old collectable cars were hard to sell. The 1968 was the best looking Charger. Enjoy it.

Born in '59 and lived through all of this. Man, I LOVED the Charger!!! Just a cool design.

Had to comment even though this is 5mo. Old . I had a 68 in 82-83 had been totaled bent frame drivers side. I cut it apart and straightened it welded it back good enough to align. It was ugly but beautiful to me.All I have left is a few pictures. Most beautiful car of all time. I blame the auctions and the internet for ruining the hobby for all us blue collar guys.

Congrats on another dream car! If one wants something bad enough we find a way to get it. Great trip home too, thanks for sharing!

68 Charger is the pinnacle of 60's muscle cars.

Nice! Glad you got a charger! I miss the 68' I had. Looking forward to seeing more content on this car.

Thanks for bringing us along for the ride, And beautiful charger added to the family 😁

its awesome to see someone love a car that much , when I found my 69 chevelle I didn't care I loved it and still do , I hate people always point to the negative , you have great car just be proud of it

Its a beautiful car man, Pleased for you that you now have your dream car. No matter what price gas becomes, it will always be a dream ride. Nice to see one of these classic vehicles safe in the hands of a man who knows how to take care of it. Be safe buddy.

This video takes me back. Dad had 2 68s. And the ride home when I bought my 70 340 dart was sketchy just like this. In the snow, at night, thru Providence Rhode Island. All was ok until going up hill and the limited slip kicked in and kept trying to introduce the rear quarter to oncoming traffic. Good times.

I was dying laughing. I miss my 68 I lost when I was 21. There's nothing like the feel of the old chargers good and bad. And the 68 is the ultimate bad ass of all charger before and after. If there's a bad ass in a movie he's driving a 68

Dodge Charger from the late 1960s, has always been my favorite muscle cars. Congratulations Dude to a cool muscle car!👍

what a cool Dodge and driving experience, pal ! And: the oil pressure look great !

Congrats, That was a fun ride!

Awesome! Glad you got one! I had to face the fact that they are out of reach for me nowadays, even if one does come up for sale in my area theres always a bidding war and usually they are nowhere near as nice as the one you bought! Congratulations!👍

Congrats on the new addition.! Just too cool.

Grats on the Charger acquisition 👍. In my humble opinion....the 68' is THE BEST year of Charger. Enjoy!!! ✌😎

What a fabulously entertaining video. Love it ! Had a 69 GTX I went out to Indiana to get. Similar surprises & glitches including a gas tank that leaked if filled more than half way !

Very nice man, congratulations on the purchase, reminds me alot of my Dad's 68

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing! I’ve wanted a ‘68 Impala since I was 7 years old. Last August I bought one! Also bought “my dream car” like you.

Beautiful car. I bought my 68 back in 1972. It was an early production model and was built in Sept of 67. It had a lot of teething problems. I could never keep the radio or side marker lights working. It leaked under the dash but otherwise, I sold it in 1975.

I absolutely love looking at 68-70 chargers from every angle (except if they're upside down) . I used to have a white 69 originally green that I sold to a gentleman in Bismarck nd in 2002 or so and was told it went up into Canada. Biggest regret of my life is selling it...I will get another someday.

I can relate to your enthusiasm. Nice job

A great day for you ❤️ the charger ànd can't wait to see what you do with it ☺️

According to my grandfather-a genuine 1969 440 R/T owner from 71-80-they are the best car ever. Good luck!

Very nice and great trip with the kiddo. Have a great Christmas.

That Charger looks good and you made it home. That's a double win.

Brings back memories. My trip saw vibration turn into a blowout at 65 mph. Mileage on gas is typical. Blast to drive though. My trip was California to Minnesota. Great times!

My dad's daily driver through the 80s and 90s was a 68 charger r/t with a 440 4 speed. It's been my car since 2003. I can't believe I've owned it for 20 years already! I actually tried to start it today but the fuel pump is not working.

Two very excellent cars even the colors are perfect. Super sweet

I love your channel because I am old and went through all of this before but at least you could fix them on the side of the road. I had two Chargers but they were a 72 and 74.

What a awesome car,my dad had a black 68 charger I can see why you are happy that would be so nice to have one,don't ever sell it if you do hit me up lol glad you got to enjoy it,I like it man so nice..

congratulations my friend, nice car, I love it. I hope to have one one day👍

Congrats awesome video !

That’s awesome congrats man!!

Oh this is a Mopar Beauty!!! Much love from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦😊😎💕,An Awesome Choice!!! It's a Charger 😈🔥

Congratulations! Living the dream.

Man, I'm jealous. You lucky dog. Great video. My dad had a 70 Charger, also with the 383. He got it up to 136 coming back through the NC mountains one night. But anyways, mad respect bro. Good job. 🤘💯

ngl, this muscle car is the pinnacle of perfection literally, my other dream cars have few negative points but this one? not a single

I have owned a1969 Dodge Charger SE 383 HP with 82,000 original miles. I did a not and bolt restoration in 2007. It’s insane how much they are selling for now. I really feel bad for people getting burned by cars like that one for $170k. That’s horrible! People spending that kind of cash should spend a few hundred bucks on a Mopar expert to do a pre inspection before they buy it. I’ve done it with every classic car that I bought that I couldn’t see myself and have never been burned thank God. Any classic car should be inspected before purchased. Period. Take care 👍👍👍

Awesome dream and great car. Thanks for bringing us along. Good luck with her!

Awesome video, and great to see so many familiar roads after a while (I moved from Oregon to the Southwest years ago). ‘68 is THE year for A and B Bodies . My preferences are towards the GTO (my first car in high school), 442, and Skylark for their 400s compared to the SS 396, but Mopars in ‘68 still look amazing. There must’ve been something in the water in ‘66-‘67 where engineers finally wrapped their heads around aesthetics and function, as the precursor design to the F-14 was locked down that same year. If you get the chance in Oregon, I believe the Chevelle Club in the Beaverton area still hosts a local cruise-in off Farmington and Kinnaman across the street from Mountain View Middle School. It didn’t hurt that Gold Eagle Classics (a GM resto parts retailer) used to be in business just a mile down the road off 185th and Farmington.

very nice glad you got home ,, great ,now the fun begins,,

Nice car! Congrats on the purchase!

I had that exact ride once in a freshly purchased firebird only there where no lights in front and it was an 89 Formula totally different league of vehicle. Mine only costed 500 bucks tho. Ya can't mess with that dawg. What a great car you have there.

Beautiful car man you must have been so excited to get her home.

I was born in Everette but I go back every couple months. I’m resurrecting a 1965 Biscayne that sat since 1977 if it’s okay I can stop by and show you everything I did to it.

Nice 383 magnum or the 440 both powerful depends on driver. 383with 4speed manual goes good 👍 and also I like to add that car is a million-dollar car there's no price you can set on something that beautiful

Dan didn't hide this well enough. He knows if he ever got the opportunity to bring a '68 charger home to not waste the time checking with first. Just grab it!

Thanx for the Ride What a beautiful "Hot Rod"! 452 casting cyl heads... mopar performance port-match templates & the M-1 manifold. Holley Sniper EFI and max wedge exh manifolds. Plenty of init adv and good gas; Lets party! Gonna be fun Duuude!!

I enjoyed the ride along. Reminds me of a trip to Myrtle Beach from Kannapolis NC. My buddy and me in 1979 in my 69 Charger 383 auto with an Offenhouser 2X4 bbl. I bet our mileage was worse. But we had fewer miles to go. We picked up our girl friends that morning and drove to the food store. A fine officer of the law pulled me over in the parking lot and after checking all my paper work. Let me know my brake lights were not working. He gave me a business card that his brother in law owned. Towing and repair. Told me not to move my car until the car was repaired. Then he proceeded to park across the street and observe. My buddy was a great mechanic and said it was the fuse. So we bought some fuses along with the groceries we came for. Then returned to the car and replaced the fuse. I drove out of the lot and right by the cop with out using my brakes. The law pulled out quite quickly and just as he approached my rear bumper. I braked for the stop sign. He had such a disgusted look on his face. 😂. The 2X4 intake is one funny story also. For another time. I felt your joy in the trip. Many more ahead.

I just got my dream Charger Yesterday. It has been 50 years for me. Was going to drive it home like you did but the price included delivery by car hauler. Take care. From Sioux City,Ia

Way to go man!

All dreams come true just got to work hard to achieve them. Nice ride Boss. Classic all the way…

Congrats and welcome to a very exclusive club... for better or worse. Mostly better as there is nothing sexier on the road.

So much class in one car. Congratulations

Great content sir, you bought the most beatiful automobile of all time in my opinion

That’s great! Nice ride, indeed. One of the dumbest things (and I’ve done many) was haul a ‘61 Pioneer on a trailer with no brakes with my ‘67 Slanty D100 with bad drum brakes and a worn-out steering box and king pins. I live in the desert, and I picked the one of 3 days out of the year it rained. I was in PHX traffic on I-10 doing 40 with my hazards on, hoping no one cut me off, necessitating a quick stop. I couldn’t even do a slow down. Good times.

Lmao dude your kid cracks me up. Gotta love the pnw eh? Always with the rain lol. Loved it. Awesome content and I love that charger. Its beautiful

My 69 charger was constantly blowing volt regulators. The lights would get real bright go blue and then pop. But still a bad ass ride. Congrats!

I Bought My 68 Charger with a 2 bbl 383 automatic with a fairly decent reddish orange lacquer driveway repaint job in 1979 for $1200. found it for sale just blocks from my parent house , Lynnwood WA as my first car at 18 years old I still own it and drive it although now with an old school modified 440 , original modified 727 , & swapped in oem Dana 60 3;54s assembly .. will be doing full Resto with some improvements and build another 440 engine or Hemi upgrade , its still just as exciting as day one to work on and drive...

Sorry I’m late to the party. Dude, nice car. I’m always fixing issues with my car. Not sure the headaches balance the pleasure yet. Anyway, cool video, all the best with her. 👍🍻🇨🇦

Awesome vlog...brother have you got your work cut out, working on my favourite car, of all time....would have this, in a heart beat...lol.. (my all time ultimate car).....and I'm British..just needs some love and respect....Best of luck, and respect. Cheers mark 👍

My first car was a 68 Charger. Then on to a 72 340 Duster. Looks like you got my past covered. Nice cars brother.🫡😎

My Mother had a new red 68 Charger R/T with a black vinyl top, white interior and a white bumblebee stripe. I was 16 at the time and just got my DL and when she would let me drive it I was in heaven.

I’m still cracking up from watching this love it and the car to . Good luck

Very cool, still have my dream car since ‘85, 1966 Charger! Never gonna let her go!

I flew into a town in the middle of Australia and bought a Fiat 124 sport coupe driving it home 2000km,such a great trip, only thing that happened was losing the brake master cylinder in the last 20km.. .

Nice!!!! Good luck.

My man, I don't even come across ONE classic Mopar during my travels in Mississippi. You've already got a yard full 👍😎

Great job. I love it

Huge moment indeed...congrats Yo

what a car...your actually living my dream dude that dodge is stunning

Buddy, I bought my 2nd place dream car a year ago. 70 torino gt,wanted a cobra jet. Mine is in mint condition n I love it. Your positive stature is on q. It's in your driveway and you own. Props to u. Now the memories build. Very happy 4 u. That ride is all u buddy. Maybe one day we'll hook up. Would be darn glad to meet u.. Always remember, it's good to own it and have problems. It's what the dreams about.

Charger looks like it's been maintained and 300 miles should not have issues. Good health and happy miles ahead enjoying you Charger

Congratulations!

That’s amazing! So happy for you. Have a 16 hour trip coming up to go get a ‘66 Valiant in a week. The drive back should be… interesting.

This was an awesome video bro!😂

Dude I'm jealous and happy for you. I would trade almost eveything i have to have a 68 charger. Now i love my 68 Satellite but there's something about a charger.

1968 was a good year! My favorite year for a Charger.

That is one sweet ride dude

Very nice car, and a beautiful drive.

Congrats! ‘68 Chargers are awesome! Well done! Seeing this reminds me of when I drove home my ‘70 Torino Brougham 10 years ago. I didn’t really break down, but things happened…😅 312 miles (but who’s counting?) and we used 25 gallons on that trip, while running on 7 cylinders and doing 55-60 mph most of the time with 3.00:1 rear gears….

Nice car…that road from Bend to the wet side brings back memories

Brother, love your videos. i have a 73 440 cuda 4 speed . just spent 3 years building the new engine. its in and running. and a beast. what do you think of the Quick fuel carb? keep the videos coming. thanks. and i love your charger.

love it man

Such a cool car enjoy it

I've just finished restoring my 68 from a wreck. I know what you mean about money pit 🤣😂 you really make me laugh when you narrate. 😆

Cool new addition to your stable. Was that a Bigfoot I saw at the river ? Thumbs Up.

I hope you don’t stop uploading your so entertaining

How the hell do you only have ~4k subs!? Love your content!

Great find man! I loved the way you film this a lot of car exposure 68 charger is an absolutely beautiful car! I’ve owned American Japanese German cars, but I’m basically a GM old car type of guy, i’m 62 years old. In 2001 I had a chance to buy a 67 Coronet RT 440 4 speed with the Dana60 rear end , it was all original , paint was old, but it was in perfect condition needed a new clutch for $12,500. I didn’t buy it. Yes, I just slapped myself in the face for being such a dumbass. Love this video. Been in that position a few times myself.
