1968 Dodge Charger – Grand Spaulding Heritage, Built 440ci V8, Original 383 Included

This 1968 Dodge Charger is a striking, tastefully restored example that combines vintage muscle car heritage with high-performance modern upgrades. Originally sold by the legendary Grand Spaulding Dodge dealership, this Charger has been rebuilt with a non-numbers-matching 440ci V8 engine producing an estimated 575 horsepower, while retaining its numbers-matching 383ci engine—which is included in the sale and remains unrebuilt. The car is finished in straight, high-quality paint and retains its original green interior, which is in excellent condition.

Power is delivered through a Torqueflite 727 automatic transmission paired with a Mopar 8¾” rear end equipped with 3.55 gears, offering a strong combination of street drivability and muscle-era performance. A number of mechanical upgrades have been thoughtfully added to ensure reliability and cooling, with no corners cut in the build.

Exterior

The body and paintwork on this Charger are described as straight and flawless, with excellent panel fit and bright trim all around. The car retains its iconic fastback silhouette and classic late-’60s muscle car presence, now backed up with modern mechanical underpinnings. All glass and chrome appear clean and well-preserved.

Additional exterior details:

• Dual electric cooling fans

• Be-Cool aluminum radiator

• Clean grille and bumpers

• Hidden headlamp grille setup

• Rear valance with dual exhaust cutouts

Interior

Inside, the car retains its factory green interior, a rare and attractive color combination. It features:

• Factory bucket seats

• Rare fold-down center armrest

• Original-style upholstery and trim

• Functional switchgear and gauges

The cabin presents as an excellent survivor-grade interior that complements the rest of the car’s classic feel, making it ideal for someone who appreciates a blend of originality and performance.

Engine & Drivetrain

At the heart of the build is a non-numbers-matching 440ci V8, built to produce an estimated 575 horsepower. This engine is packed with top-shelf internals and performance parts:

• Full roller motor

• Chromoly pushrods

• Custom 906 cylinder heads

• Dual timing chain

• Holley 850 CFM carburetor

• Hedman headers

• Upgraded fuel system with new lines and tank

• Electric twin cooling fans

The engine is paired with a 727 Torqueflite 3-speed automatic transmission, which shifts crisply and handles the increased output with ease. The rear end is an 8¾ Mopar unit with 3.55 gears for strong street performance.

Importantly, the original, numbers-matching 383ci engine is included in the sale, giving the next owner the option of returning the car to factory spec if desired.

Chassis & Braking

To match the performance upgrades, the car has received significant suspension and braking work:

• Front disc brakes (upgraded)

• Rear drum brakes

• New brake lines throughout

• New fuel lines

• New fuel tank

• Strong underbody and solid suspension setup

The car is said to run cool and strong, with a dependable, modernized feel on the road.

Summary

This 1968 Dodge Charger is an exceptional blend of original character, high-performance upgrades, and clean presentation. With a professionally built 440ci V8, well-sorted drivetrain, and a show-worthy finish, it delivers the raw muscle car experience with the added value of the original 383ci engine included. A Grand Spaulding Dodge-sold car, it carries both provenance and performance—a true gem for Mopar fans and collectors alike.

Perfect for spirited weekend drives, local shows, or even further restoration to concours-level originality, this Charger is a versatile and investment-worthy American classic.
