12. 1968 Dodge Charger
This popular charger differs from other 60s models in a few ways. For starters, the Coke bottle profile was a bit more defined to separated from the popular Coronet models that were already well known. At least one light was added to the rear end of the vehicle, inspired by popular Group 7 racers. Also, there was the addition of a ‘flying buttress’ to the rear window which gave it a similar profile to the Pontiac GTO. However, under the hood is where things get interesting. The charger was outfitted with a 318 in.³ 5.2 L double big block V-8. That was the standard engine until midyear production when a slant 6 225 in.³ 3.7 L engine was added to the mix. Of course, you could also opt for the popular three 83–2 or three 83–4 engine models if you wanted a bit more power. As for every thing else, give it up. You were going to spend a lot of money on gas with this one, but the payoff would be sheer speed. That’s what makes this one of the fastest American muscle cars in existence today. They’re also pure eye candy. That about sums it up right there. Now it’s time to go find one.
