1968 Dodge Charger Restomod - Grey Metallic - 73,158 km - 6.4L HEMI V8, 8-Speed Auto, Full SRT 392 Transplant
1968 Dodge Charger 2-door coupe restomod. Left hand drive. 6.4 litre HEMI V8 (SRT 392). 8-speed automatic with paddle shift. 73,158 km (listed as miles, cluster shows km). 4 seats.
This is not just a restomod. This is a complete modern Mopar powertrain and interior transplant into one of the most iconic American muscle car bodies ever made. A 1968 Dodge Charger wearing a 2015+ Challenger SRT 392 heart, brain, and guts. The result is a car that looks like it rolled off the Hamtramck line in 1968 but drives like it left a Dodge showroom last week.
The Build
Under the bonnet sits a 6.4-litre HEMI V8 from a late-model Challenger SRT 392, producing approximately 485 horsepower in factory tune. It's paired with the ZF 8HP 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shift, rotary gear selector, and launch control, all lifted from the same donor. Push-button start, full digital SRT instrument cluster, Uconnect touchscreen infotainment with GPS, reverse camera, dual-zone auto climate control. This is the full package, not a half-hearted swap.
The Body
Finished in a deep grey metallic, the paint quality is excellent. Consistent colour, deep gloss, straight panels. Panel gaps are tight and even across all four quarters, doors, bonnet, and boot. The iconic hidden headlamp grille has been retained with an SRT badge in the centre. Chrome bumpers front and rear are in good condition. Original-style round taillights complete the look. This is a car that stops people in their tracks.
Inside
The interior is almost entirely modern Challenger SRT. Black cloth and suede SRT-branded bucket seats with contrast stitching front and rear. The original Charger door cards have been retained in black vinyl with gathered map pockets, a nice touch that blends old and new. Modern 3-point seatbelts throughout. New black carpet. The whole cabin is clean and well-finished.
Rolling Gear
Polished 5-spoke American Racing style wheels, 20x8 up front and 20x10 at the rear with a staggered tyre setup. Rydanz brand tyres with adequate tread. Power disc brakes. The car sits on a lowered stance that fills the guards nicely without being slammed.
VIN Decode
Chassis XP29H8B168165 decodes as a genuine 1968 Dodge Charger 2-door hardtop, originally equipped with a 383ci V8, built at Hamtramck Assembly. The VIN stampings on both the cowl and dash plate are clear, matching, and consistent.
