1968 Dodge Charger Convertible: a car that the company never officially built is for sale

Even if some cars were never produced by the parent company, other customers considered building them. This is the case of Dodge Charger Convertible of 1968 the main character of this article. I don’t know if it is a unique model, but maybe other owners have also modified the famous American coupé in the same way, designed only in that style.

The case we are dealing with raises the question: should the manufacturer of Auburn Hills (Michigan) create such a car? If he regretted not doing so, could he amend it with a clear interpretation of the current style? The answer is to each of you. I am sure that different opinions will appear on the topic, full of interesting features.

The return of the 1968 Dodge Charger Convertible is considered, this one is currently for sale by Hemmings. The cutting of the roof caused a loss of character C pole of the coupé version, with the rear window placed between their arches: two of the most characteristic features of its design.

In that shade, the car of the famous and beaten star was widely used in the movie during the three years of production. Chases in which he was the protagonist in some are memorable action movie, where he gave free rein to the enormous horsepower of his eight-cylinder. True muscle car, has never been released in an advanced version. It cannot be determined that if he had taken this responsibility, other customers would have appreciated it, writing a terrible check.

Boyfriend chose the DIY route, having his Dodge Charger Convertible built by a body shop. It is, as has already been said several times, the model of 1968 is now on sale. Unfortunately the interior has also been changed, making it less romantic. It is also unfortunate that the top of the line, however beautiful and well-made, did not imitate the style of the roof of the previous model, as happened, for example, with the Ferrari 348 and F355.

Under the front hood, instead of the previous 5.2 liter unit there is now an engine 7.2 liter V8, and 440 horsepower at the service of the gas pedal. Therefore, at traffic lights, the irony of other owners of supercars from the 80s and 90s can disappear with negative comments. What do you think about this change? In your opinion, should Dodge try an open version of the modern Charger?
