Thank you for your No General Lee comment. It's been Done to Death.

You're in the 69 Charger and that 66 Chevy pulled in. Instantly, I thought of Dirty Mary Crazy Larry.

Good work, Jamie! And yes, 1968 any day of the week. Thank you for great content and sharing your knowledge in an easy to understand way.

This should be manditory viewing for Bowtie and blue ovel wrenches. They seemed to have touched all the mistakes that even good nonmopar techs make when they lay their hands on one.

If every 1969 Charger were turned into a General Lee, as cool as it is & as much as I want one, the world would be a boring place. 1969 happens to be my favorite year for the Charger. You have yourself an awesome car here to work on. I hope you end up getting this car.

Cool car. I like'em rough. I almost bought one in similar condition back in the mid 1980s for $800 but somebody beat me to it. Hey $800 was hard to scrape up back then. Keep up the good work man.

I've always heard keep it greasy and don't let your meatloaf lol awesome car man

Call up the duke boys they have some sanding to do

Had several friends that had this car back in the early 70's and they were SAWEEEEETTTTT !!

I like the '68 best also. The taillights and grill on the '68 look better in my opinion.

I'm looking forward to this series. She sounds really good. Burnouts will be great.

Love the Zappa reference around the 13 minute mark 👍

Just get it running n drive the heck outta it - here hold my corn dog 😂😂😂 wait i did not see a ballast resistor 😂😂😂😂😂

Yeah the '69 is a nice car but the '68 is just a bit more elegant 😄

The 68 Reigns Supreme as the best year Charger. Taillights, Grille, and corner markers win

I believe dodge gave their cars a salt water bath just before they rolled down the assembly line.

2 days in a row. i like

I am with you, the 68 is my favorite as well. The round tail lights and clean non-split grille are the best.

I like the ratty charger, cool project. You know like 20 years ago the focus of the mopar community was more towards better heads and raising the compression ratio of a 360. Today everything is all about stroker kits. I don't get it either. You can build a pretty wild 360 without ever having to stroke it. I remember back in the day there was a couple of 360's I had, I just slammed that mopar performance purple shaft that was so popular into a stock engine and it would make them an entirely different beast. Than you added an intake, carb, headers, and you had a pretty fun driver.

'68 best year for all the B-bodies, come to think of it A-bodies as well..

Enjoy your videos, I'm an old guy and was around when all those Mopars were new.

At 14:48 is music to my ears. What a familiar sound but oh so sweet. A idling American v8 ❤

Awesome video!! Keep up the banger content!!

Fugg no b-body should have a big bock 440

Really cool video! Looks like an awsome car!

Another awesome old Charger!👍

Great car! Absolutely love these old Chargers!

Favorite car right there

I absolutely love this car...❤❤❤

Gotta say that I love the patina on this baby. I would be quite happy to pull up to a meet in it. Thanks buddy!

love that Charger & glad you could get some fixed in place. I have a 64 Galaxie - looking forward to see what is up with that thing.

Looking forward to the next video.

Love the color with the patina

Another fine video. You just have all the fun.

6:48 YAY!!! My favorite Mopar steering wheel. The EXACT same as in my 83 W150. Love that steering wheel. If I haven't said so before, LOVE your channel!

You are a good man.

Yup- I like it too...looks like fun-Fun-FUN !

I want to Hemi swap a 74 Charger this year. Don't be surprised if I show up at your shop after I fall on my face.

I LOVE the paint!! As an owner of an Aussie 72 Fairmont Sedan, that had a C panel chop and repair and repaint in the late 70's (it's untouched since then) I approve!

Awesome!!

Re: clocks. I got my original clock working using a restorer's instructions. Blow it out with a computer duster (carefully at low pressure) then use a dry paintbrush to brush out any debris, hairs,,etc, then naphtha on a tiny paintbrush to clean up remainder and also touch the pivot points, "bearings", etc because it will mostly dry but leave a very fine film that provides lubrication. Microkroil is also excellent for fine instrument lubrication

Too bad you are so far away, love to have you work on my 71 Superbee.

All life must have balance :-) That car had a good start!

Great video 👍 I am son of a Mopar lover, my Dad only bought Mopar. My 1st brand new car was a 1984 Chrysler Lazer I paid 10k. Lasted 10.years. Ya hit a pothole with it and there goes a hubcap. Plastic of course. Spent 2 years in and out of the dealer due to black smoke and horrible milage. Finally they replaced the Oxygen sensor. That experience and my parents troubles with a 1988 Plymouth Horizon, put me off new Chryslers. I always wanted a 1968 to 1970 Charger. I did get a 1972 Olds Cutlass S and loved that car. I still want a Charger. That want will never leave me. As a kid I loved hearing the muscle cars starting up and passing us at the school bus stop.

The Charger that made me love Chargers was from the movie Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry which was a 69.

I used to assemble a ton of custom spark plug wires in my day. I had a speed shop from the late 80's to the mid 90's. Anyways, when doing custom wire sets or fixing them, I always put the spark plug boot onto the wire before I attached the spark plug terminal. After I tightened down the terminal I would just pull the boot over it. I avoided using the grease as it never seemed to dry off and you could pull off the boots when trying to pull the plug wire off the spark plug. I used soap and water to make it easier to slide the boots onto the wire, when it dries the boot does not have a lubricant in there that can make getting the plug wire off more challenging as the boot wants to slide on the wire.

Great vlog , Jamie 🙏 I prefer 68 Chargers too ❤ However , you make a valid point . Having a raty one , would be fun 408 stroker small block are internally balanced & utilized 318 flex plate & harmonic balancer , Good to know .

Wow, an AC car. Great video!

"The herpes of automotive chemicals" lol I'm digging the stance and shackles. Pretty solid car underneath as well.

Nice car . I've always been a ford guy ,but liked mopars and I know enough about them to say that you've forgotten more than I know about them ,because they're like a different language . '68 .

Get it running & leave it alone, it's perfect.

Found your channel a couple weeks ago. Watch quite a few videos and really enjoy your videos. I have a 65 fury 3 a 67 barracuda and a 67 dodge 1/2 ton step side,so I'm always needing help figuring something out

My problem is I'm very competitive. The local GM guys made so much fun of my first Mopar 69 Charger that I started going to car shows, learned how to. detail my car and started kicking their butts! I bought that car because of the great paint job and that's what gets the wins combined with that incredible body style. That's just me - as my pastor stated (great statement for someone like me): True competitors compete to win. Yep, and it's great! I love all of my cheap, gaudy, glittery plastic trophies, the bigger the better. I like a car that isn't just cool looking, but stuns people in to silence because it is so beautiful. I guess that's what is fun for me. I like going to cars and coffee and parking my Mopar among a bunch of new Corvettes, BMW's, Porshes, Maseratti's, etc. I also like shouting at the new Chargers: Real Chargers only have two doors! 🙂

Beautiful just as it is.

To each his own man I love Ford's and Mopar

Great Caesars ghost that thing kicks ass! Once you get done with it I hope the owner leaves it exactly as it sits now.

I put "Mexican blanket" seat covers on my 64 Valiant today. And a magnetic cup holder that I stuck to the transmission hump. Good for 10HP easy.

Just a note, all the B Body drivetrtains sit a little to the passenger side. That is common in a lot of cars. I've been told it was to give the driver a little more foot room but I can't verify that. I can verify though that all of them I've had it all sat about 1.5" over. Nice '68

Can’t go wrong with any 1968-70 Charger. But yeah, ‘68 is special.

I'd say get rid of the shackles, but there would probably be a problem with the rear tires and the quarters. This car has plenty of room for wide tires and wheels, but so many guys buy ones with the wrong (too little) back space. You can move the springs up an inch by using the next pair of holes. Or even the highest one. You still get that "kitsch car" 1979 look some guys want to add but I always wanted to remove. Trust me, a lot of guys had the last two levels of shackle strap hanging below the spring back in 1979, so it is period correct.

That is a great old charger! The gas pedal made me laugh I had one on my first car and really wanted to like it, eventually it ended up in the trunk where the battery wasn’t because I could not obtain WOT with that foot on there.

I have a surfer foot gas pedal in my '69 GTX!!! Heck ya!!!

In its original form...that would be my dream color combination on my dream car. I just love green...almost all shades. The 69 coronet wagon I've struck a deal on for purchasing when my friend is ready to sell is F8 green I believe.

Center line auto drag aluminum wheels sweet i wanted a set for the 84 Pontiac Grand Prix SJ I used to own..

Stealing that car is one thing but that mirror is unforgivable

😂 love the manual shifting a automatic transmission comment. I heard that same thing too!! Strange !!!

And yeah I would prefer glass packs but I like the sound of the exhaust on the 69 ratty charger but I would not worry about the exhaust on the charger because it is not hung right or straight anyway so taking it down isn't a big deal...

"Easy there Tiger" lol

Chargers look great no matter what color. The leaf shackles have to go! Cool car. What rear gears does this one have?

Old mopar guy here. I know whats wrong with it. It's a B body with a small block in it! 😀 Such a wide engine compartment! I know its 2024 so....its cool👍

No more Gen Lees. Yes plz and thank you. That quota was met a number of years ago.

That Charger should be turned into a General Tso!

This is why we have experts. You don't have to like them, but you ignore them at yer peril....

Did I mention it’s cold in Tasmania . Yep keep it MA MOPAR way . 👍🏻💯🇦🇺⛽️.

My favorite 68-70 is the 68 round tailights the open 68 special grille not the 70 with the bumper around it just looks goofy in my opinion, and the round port light signals so yeah I love the 68 chargers and your wheels are sweet!!

Is that a FORD shirt? Holy Crap

They should have made the General Lee a road runner, you know how many fkin orange ones you see? 😂 gah damn

Add to the group a crisp 66 "straight liner".

Good job there Jamie that the ratty charger is uh they are a lot of fun to drive and you can't worry about paint chips with them because it's got lots of them already and I'm sorry to disagree with you 8 to 70 chargers my favorite is the 70 because I have one but I also have a 69 charger which I like to and it is so my ratty I'm doing the interior and I'm leaving the outside at a 20 foot visual so I don't have to worry about rock chips small creases or anything like that and just drive the thing without having to worry

that looks like a great candidate for a general lee project...you totally should turn that into a general lee

How do you feel about the somewhat new challenger rear disc drum brakes ? Or have you tore into any yet ? I love the wheels and tires on the gold charger . Thanks man .

I surprised you didn't make him an offer. She the same color my 71 swinger was great car I think you know me by now it would have a 4 or 5 speed as some as that tranz comes off problem solved , I think probably not tho I would have to find clutch and break pedals.

Ford shirt? I knew you’d come around eventually😂

U cant go wrong with any 2nd gen charger but 68 is the best year. Yes im bias because i own a 68. Gen 3 hemi swap and call it a day

Frank Zappa reference! Joe's Garage.

I hope there’s no leaks onto the red beauty below!

I would not mind that charger sitting in my garage for awhile, longer the better, (till winter).

What would a charger in that condition with the original 318 go for?

I couldn't feel the imbalance when the revs come up but I could hear it

He's got a footprint gas pedal installed in it!

I was wondering if you have any info or how much knowledge you have on the poly 318 , I was wondering if you can put a more modern starter on it Thanks

The overall package seems pretty good, even the "wood grain "paint, lol. I seem to call my 61 galaxie that dam thing. Must be a Ford deal. A friend told me Ford stood for "Fuckin Owner Really Dumb". Some days I completely agree lol

Why is the engine shaking? It sounds super cool! I love the stance but not the shackles!😂 all Chargers are cool but the 68 is my favorite.

What could be finer than a stack of Chargers with one being a 69er? And with the fuselage body on the side it's major and not minor.

What happened to your beard cool video I do like your 68 it would be cool to do a poly build if you have one lying around

Kinda looks like the 68 charger on the movie grand theft auto just a lot of patina

Needs to be restored.

Turn it into the general lee. Lol

The 60's models are some sweet ford products though..

Always 68🍻😎
