I've always loved the appearance of Magnum500 wheels, so in 2014 I finally bought a set with radial tires for cruising. This Charger has the 2.94:1 rear gear; it's made for highway cruising.

Andrew's 1968 Dodge Charger after a crash in 1990 and 25 years of neglect. I bought it in March 2015, Andrew bought it in 1972. It has only 58,400 original miles. Andrew and I made the exchange at our mother's home. As I bid my mother farewell, her reply was, "Well, enjoy your junk".

After being washed, it doesn't look too bad from the rear at twenty paces. Andrew's Charger is powered by a 318cid engine, console-shift automatic, 2.94:1 Sure-Grip rear axle, and of all things, original air-conditioning. The Magnum500 wheels are also original.

Restoration of the 1968 Charger is in progress at Seybert's Auto Service, now owned by my younger brother, John. He is doing the mechanical work before we move onto the hard stuff . . . the body.
