The ’68 Dodge Charger was a redesign; Dodge anticipated that 35,000 units should cover demand. They misjudged. Instead, 96,100 were eventually produced. Chrysler used its B platform and to this there were subtle changes, which included mostly cosmetic alterations. These changes occurred both on the outside and the inside. For instance, the grille was now “undivided,” running the width of the front end with its hidden headlights, while the taillights were now rounded.

Zoland looked at our ’68 and opted to shorten the “relatively long front overhang” as his initial effort. From here there were subtle and not-so subtle changes to the remainder of the car. In his mind we are thinking of using a chassis, which would include all of the suspension and powertrain from a modern SRT8 or possibly even a Hellcat, all the goodies both inside and specialty features such as launch control, anti-spin, and so on.

In the end the idea is to have the most modern of hot rods but retain the “old-school” good looks and nostalgia appearance. Sit back and look and see what you think.
