The 1968 Dodge Charger R/T was a legendary muscle car known for its powerful performance, striking design and iconic status within the American auto industry. This 1968 Dodge Charger R/T, 4 Speed, is a unique car to behold.

The brakes are equipped with 4 wheel drum brakes. The body is completely sandblasted and scooped. Scooping (also referred to as metallizing, thermal spraying or galvanizing) is the thermal application (spraying) of liquefied zinc, alloys of zinc with aluminum or aluminum and this on a previously clear blasted metal surface. A zinc wire or zinc powder (still rarely used) is passed through a spray gun and heated by means of a flame. The liquid metal is blown out of the gun with compressed air and applied in one or more layers, whereby the material solidifies immediately to form a protective layer that adheres well. After this the gray/light gray and slightly rough surface can be provided with a primer or color coating. This Dodge Charger R/T came to the Netherlands from Houston Texas in 1991.
