Lost! My late Mother's 1968 Dodge Charger HELP

[Cliff Ramsdell]

Keep digging, I bought my GTS in 1981 from the original owner. Sold it and wish I never had. Came back to me in 2020 as a Father’s Day gift from one of my sons.

You got lucky, brother, that car is beautiful!

What’s the hold up?

The other 25 Mopars I already have! The current prices of second gen Charger R/T cars might also keep this car out of my reach!

Well, after 25 who’s even counting anymore haha

My car almost fits the description of the car you seek info on. Mine started it's life in the same green as the one in your pic except mine had a dark green vinyl top and green interior. I don't have any info as to who bought it new either but I got it from Mississippi in 2014. Mine was a 383 auto car with full wheel hub caps. As was mentioned, no SE Chargers in 68 and if you ever come up with a VIN, the best place to check would be the 1968 Charger Registry. Maybe someone registered it.

It's a long shot but being a small town perhaps you can get your parents car tax records.

I would try the DMV in the county your folks would have registered it.
Before anyone says they can't hand out that info ..... I know that.
If that charger got registered in a small county court house you may find some help if you go in person.
Large county , multiple clerks forget it.
Sometimes small town clerks wil surprise you. Worst they can do is tell you no.
Good luck.

Well unfortunately, that would have been Lee County, Iowa, the only county in the entire United States with TWO seperate county seats and courthouses, a north and a south. Almost like they're still stuck in Civil War mode. Ours would have been the south one, but I know for a fact they do NOT keep records back that far. I appreciate the suggestion though.

This was my mom's 70 Charger R/T SE that my parents bought new. I have been told it still exists,and is in a town 15 miles away from me. I haven't seen the car since 1986.

That is a beautiful car! Looks like Keystones in the back?

Yes those are Keystones. The car came from the factory with magnum 500 wheels. The other two magnum 500 wheels had the studded snow tires on them for the winter.
