68 Coronet R/T Rallye Dash Emblem

[nitro_rat]

I have rounded up ALMOST all of the parts to assemble the rallye dash in my '68 Coronet R/T. One of the lingering issues is the little round emblem on the gauge panel. There seem to be three varieties. There's a "R/T" emblem, a "Fratzog" emblem, and a third referred to as the "Bullseye." I have found some information on a Charger site that says the Bulleye was typically installed early in the production run, then somewhere in March or so of '68 the Fratzog became prevalent. The R/T emblem did not seem to be confirmed to ever be installed on a Charger regardless of weather it was a R/T or not.

My car's scheduled assembly date is 9/22/67 making it pretty early in the run. Would the R/T emblem be correct? It seems like most of the Coronet R/T's I see have the R/T medallion. Super Bees seem to have the Fratzog...

What plant was your Coronet R/T built? Mine is SPD 9 29 67, St. Louis. It's not a rally dash though. 150 sweep. Do you have any pictures?

Mine's a St. Louis car also! Unfortunately it's pretty gutted...

The 2nd previous owner actually sold the dash out of it. The immediate previous owner was able to purchase the shell with the VIN tag back from the guy last owner sold it to!

Charger never got the R/T medallion... 68 Coronet R/T with the rally dash got it from the start of production... Mine is a 9/11 SPD car & has it...

Pretty gutted, but it has that really cool hump on the floor.....

I was looking specifically for a '68 GG1 4-speed. As is par for the course, I think I ended up with the roughest surviving example!

It's the price we pay to have cool toys.... Mine was a prize....
