Very cool. I was lucky enough to get a bunch of old life magazines from our very small town school when it closed. They went back to the 60's and 70's. Its very cool being able to see original advertising for these cars.

My first real car was a 1968 Charger, but it was only a 318. This is awesome information. Thanks for doing this.

I wonder why they didn’t offer the 4spd option with the 318, that would have been a nice combo

Those old brochures are like gold. Hard to find and often expensive- but the 'neat old stuff' factor is great.

Those dash medallions that cover that screw, I've saw 3 different ones, the charger emblem, the fratzog and one with a R/T. The Superbee's had the fratzog, charger's had the R/T in the R/T's, most of the coronet R/T's had sweep hand dashes. Great video! Awesome brochures!👍

I got the dealer brochure for the 68 Charger from a guy at the 2023 Sun Bust in Graham. He had a box full of them and since I had my Charger since new when my parents bought it he gave me one for free. I have it with the car now with every car show. He had several for many different Mopar models and wanted to give them good homes. Very cool guy.

A fun, informative step back through time. I told on DDG channel about the 68 Superbee my neighbor bought new. Well just down the street another neighbor bought a 68 Satellite wagon. I called it the Roadrunner wagon, though hardly cool with its contact paper wood sides. The 68 b bodies were among the most handsome ever if not the most. Not the prettiest...that distinguished title in my opinion has to belong to the forward look stuff....but the most handsome. 68 GTX, RT, and Charger are the most handsome grills while the Charger and Superbee have the most attractive tail. Interestingly i find the side profile of the 68 post cars RR, and SuperBee the most attractive. I know its all in the eye of the beholder. Thats my opinion and Im stickin to it ,HA!

The old brochures are very cool! I actually have some original brochures for the 67 Fury/VIP and 67 Chrysler. Back in 1979 there was a local Mopar dealer that sold out and they had an auction. There was a box of these brochures, and my dad got the whole box for very cheap ($1 I think). They didn't seem very worthy at the time, but I loved looking at them even back then and somehow I had the good sense to hang on to them (or at least most of them, some got damaged). I have the remaining ones sitting on a book shelf. They are pretty interesting to read through - "Plymouth is out to win you over" was their slogan for that year.

First off this is well done jamie. I think your better at this than tom but toms knowledge is off the charts lol. As for the 225 6 they came with a auto or 3 on the tree. My buddy kevin had one he collected that was amazing shape it i have pics of it. But last summer some guy walked up with a briefcase full of 100s and it was high 5 figures so kev said bye its yours. Crazy money for it and way more than you paid for your 68. Forest green was the most common color and both the 68s i had were green. One dark and one olive. But i agree that the 68 was the coolest even those i have 2 70 chargers. There is no other b body that drives like them either. I have had countless 68 coronets but the charger handles so much better. But they get loose at 120+ do to the back window design. Thus the charger 500 was born in 69. I would love to find info on my 70 charger or my 72 roadrunner. Fun stuff.

Yes the 68 is awesome. In the mid to late 70's I was a lucky teen working as a lot boy for a number of new and used dealers, including hi perf dealers, and I got to drive everything, used muscle was plentiful and cheap (longest burnout was in a 455 T/A...sorry!). Pretty much got to drive every gen of charger, never was allowed to drive a hemi tho. 68 was my fav with the cool round taillights, followed by the 71-72. I have to say tho that the 66-67 was a much classier car with all detailing and cool interior, but nothing beats the menace of the 2nd gen.

Marketing pablum lol, the 383 would be most desireable - a 340 dropped into one would be interesting. Our neighbors had the monaco it was very large

Very fun. Little fun fact, early 68 Chargers had script " Charger " plus the charger emblem on sail panel, then they went to just "Charger" script.

Goodday Jamie, I always wonder why the 340 was never made a option on the 2nd generation Charger's. Also the same for the Super Bee & Roadrunner or any Satellite or Polara. Cheers Louis Kats 👍

Small block performance was reserved for the A Body. Big blocks was where it was in the middle to late 60’s with cheap gas and cheap insurance. In 1971 when insurance rates started sky rocketing is when they finally made the 340 available in the Road Runner and Charger but it was a little underpowered for the weight of the car. Then the gas crisis killed off performance after that.

Just a quick question for you dead / rocket crew. How was it possible for those 5150 guys to sneak a 68 Charger out of your back yard? Enjoying this great content, keep it up.
