Recent find from our friends at Cars In Barns is a 1968 Charger. Parked in dark corner of a garage, this once gleaming beauty, has been hidden away for the last eight years residing in Tampa, Florida. Sources reveal the iconic muscle ride has been in the possession of the current owner for over thirty years. Purchasing this ride at the age of fifteen, we can only imagine how many times this beast has hit the pavement with the angry roar of a ’68 Charger.

Some day we hope to see this beauty restored to original condition as this one appears

From all appearances this ride appears to have a good base and structure to work with. The 1968 Charger marked the introduction of the second generation and included a new design with a curvier body, hidden headlights, recessed backlight, a redefined tail, and less chrome.

Giving the ride a more muscle car look, the rear quarters were bulged a little along with the move to a semi-fastback style appearance. Production jumped by 500% with the introduction of the ’68. The standard engine was the 318 cu in (5.2 L) until mid-year when a 225 cu in (3.7 L) slant-six became available. The 383-2 and 383-4 remained unchanged. A new high-performance package was added to the line- up with the R/T, which came standard with the previous year’s 440 Magnum and the 426 Hemi was again optional.

We would like to see this Grand Daddy to the modern day musclecar feel the warmth of the hot sun and the grip of the sticky pavement once again. Not ready for retirement yet, this beast could make a great project restoration if the owner would get to it, or sell it to someone who will. If you stumbled across this car, would you pester the owner until he sold it?
