I think the curb weight might be wrong, shouldn't it be 3,599 LBS?

@ Bijan: Those aren't 1968 models, and the '68 Charger looks slightly different from the 1969 model.

@ Super8, Viking, and Bijan: I have an uncle who had a 1968 Dodge Charger RT 440 when he was in high school.

I took a brief look at Dodge Charger Hemi models on this site, and I didn't see any other 1968 models. So I don't think this exact car already exists. Back in '68 I had a Hot Wheels version of this groovy car.

Sometimes I don't really understand what he talks about. He encourage me to add 170 mph max speed but after I do that, he said it's not possible and makes everyone turns agains me. He said nice car to add good job, but suddenly he said it isn't road legal. Such a sarcastic mixed with skeptical. Strange but true.

@Super8 groovy car. I should be able to find some period magazine tests with performance figures.

The first coke bottle Charger and the first Charger that could hit 150 mph using 3.23 final. That performance continue to the next mode until 1970 just before they lowered the compression ratio.
