This weathered 1968 Dodge Charger isn’t just a fixer-upper—it’s a full-blown resurrection project. Sitting under a flimsy fabric shelter in Toronto for who knows how long, this beast has seen better days. The so-called “carport” did it no favors, with dirt beneath and moisture creeping in like an uninvited guest. Rust? Oh, it’s everywhere. The seller’s upfront: even seasoned restoration pros might break a sweat tackling this one.
Yet here it is, buzzing on eBay like a neon sign in a junkyard. Why? Because ‘68 Chargers hold a special kind of magic. Sales back then skyrocketed past 96,000, thanks to that slick new hardtop design. Prices started at a cool three grand, but the real gems—the R/Ts with 440 Magnums or the mythical 426 Hemi—commanded more. Barely a few hundred Hemis rolled off the line, making them unicorns today.
This one’s no unicorn. Its original 318 V8? Gone. Transmission? MIA. What’s left is a crusty shell, gutted for parts like a fallen gladiator. But hey, the roof’s intact, the firewall’s clinging to dignity, and the rear seat brace hasn’t entirely given up. Small mercies.
The seller’s tossing in a salvage-floor from another ‘68, some patch panels, the VIN tags, and even that sad tent it rotted under. Bidding kicks off at $5,700, no reserve. But let’s be real, shipping it out of Canada ain’t cheap, and the restoration? That’s a black hole for time and cash. Some might strip it for spare parts, call it a win. Others? They’ll see a rusted relic and dream of roaring engines and open roads. Crazy? Maybe. But since when did classic car nuts play it safe?
