And I am pleased. We pulled up to the dealership to buy the new truck and I heard it. Damn near snapped my neck to catch a glimpse and boy howdy was it the right thing to do .

I don’t know much about it except for 440/4bbl and automatic, probably A727. I aksed the owner if he would mind me drooling over my dream car for a few. He obliged, saying “it’s my dream car too, I just get to see it every day”

DAT PURPLE DOE

That’s easy when it’s a quarter mile long!

‘68 Charger is best muscle car.

I always actually quite liked the earlier rounded tails on that gen of Charger.

good sir i’ll have you know my car is only .014 quarter miles long so there

Me too. I think the minor restyling of the ‘69, while good in its own right, doesn’t stand up to the basic beauty of the ‘68.

Most people are all in on the later, fatter Chargers. Nah, bro. I like the fender strakes and lights on the ‘67 more, but there’s no wrong answer here and the ‘68 roofline is in a class of its own.

Yes. The 727 came with the 383/4bbl, 440/4bbl, 440 pack (in 1970), and the 426 hemi. The slant-6, 318, and 383/2bbl had the lighter duty 904.

Of course what we really prefer with all those is the 4 speed manual, but those are relatively rare. The 727 at least could handle all the punishment those big motors could dish out.

Personally I like the 1970 the best, but all 3 years from that generation look gorgeous.

That’s the first time I’ve ever seen a purple charger.... I love it!!

Also 1968 Charger is the best Charger

That is one gorgeous vehicle. And I too agree the world needs lots more purple cars.

68 is best, 70 is second (too much chrome), ‘69 split grille is terrible.

Great colour, is that the one called “Plum crazy”?

"Nibbles" (nibbles)
03/06/2017 at 15:01, STARS: 2

It is not. Definitely a custom mix. For reference, here’s a Charger in the 1970 Plum Crazy - the first year the color was offered:

As a connoisseur of purple, I’m happy to oblige :)

Are you familiar with the British Leyland colours of Black Tulip and Aconite?

gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I love ‘68s.......so damn good looking. Those taillights, the rear window, just perfect. Minus the vinyl roof, perfection.
