Welcome man and that thing is beautiful! How do you like the new Challenger btw?

 

Thanks!

The 2008 Challenger SRT8: Easy on the eyes, and a great cruise car... lotta room; as a sports car; not so much

I think of it as more of a tribute car; a novelty.

 

I was thinking that might happen with this car, considering it's based on the charger (current) chassis. Glad it's a nice vehicle atleast though, a good tribute as well.

 

Great job, that is the perfect combination. Classic lines and modern performance and reliability.

 

You couldn't get a 440 Six Pack in a 68 Charger. Just the 440-4 BBL 375HP or the HEMI 425 HP in the R/T.

 

Ill PM you the vin; this is a second owner restoration.

 

OK, and if memory serves correct I think the K code is the 6-pack, R code HEMI...not 100% though. I will find out..

 

J was a body code for the rare(r) lighter bodied cars.

 

Never heard of that either...I think the guy that sold you the car pulled a fast one on you.

 

Saw this on a Mopar board and had to respond.

The R/T came with a 440-4 standard in 1968. Its engine code in the VIN is an L. The only optional engine was the 426 Hemi, whose code was a J.

Any information in the previous posts that doesn't match this is totally incorrect.

 

Fender J code; light A and B bodies; yes 440-4 std R/T... the S "special"; most were P "premium"...

Dont just google.. looOOook see....

 

I'm sorry, but you're either entirely incorrect or you're not being clear on what you're speaking of - what's this "fender" thing? What do A-bodies have to do with this thread?

The VIN of the 1968 Charger begins with XP29. Engines were the Slant 6, 318, 383-2, and 383-4.

The Charger R/T was XS29. I already have stated the engines available.

I assume the "Special" and "Premium" references you've made are in respect to the trim levels but they're really moot for the conversation since the 440 and Hemi were only available on the R/T . . . the trim level with the "Special" designation.

 

J code is on the fender tag; it represents a lighter body

uncommon then, and not many survivors.

I know all about the vin, that is not what we are referring.

 

There is no "lightweight" Charger. What is this J code? As 1968 data plates are mostly numbered codes, I feel you've been led astray (just like your assertion that the car originally was a Six Pack).
