I've sold three second gen Chargers in the last couple years. Two 68s and a 70.
Around 45k is realistic.

What has been your go-to marketplace for sales?
Marketplace usually get's a local audience. With something like a car, I think it's better if the buyer comes and looks at it in person and meets you instead of a worldwide market like E bay or the like. As a buyer, I wouldn't be comfortable buying a car sight unseen and as a seller I wouldn't be comfortable with money transfers and the like from some oil baron in another country. 
What about Hemming's online auction, national exposure. I'm thinking to sell there hate auction fees. Not a Charger.

A lot more pictures if it changes anyone's estimate. Charger Listing Photos
I said $50 at first. I'm thinking $35 to may be $40.
Overall it's in rougher shape than what I saw in the first photos. I don't have much skin in the game because I'm not into the Charger hobby but I do pay attention to selling prices.

I think it also depends on where you sell it. I know prices in my area are around $35k for a running 1968 Charger that needs some paint and body work. I do think your car looks way better than the last car I looked at. It was $35k and had been listed at that price for about 6 months without selling. I talked with the seller and he would not budge on the price.
35k without motor.
Whatever the market will bear as the saying goes. Maybe the market will bear $50k. You're in no rush...time is on your side. If you try to sell it at $40k, then the flippers will come out in droves and annoy you with insulting low offers; and waste your time.
Auctions: You only need two bidders that want one bad!
Bring A Trailer: They interview prospective sellers to see if they are going to list it. I don't think your car "checks enough boxes" for them to be interested in auctioning it for you.
eBay Motors: Never tried buying/selling through them. I seldom see anything I like.
Hemmings: Worth a try.
Craigslist: No
Facebook Marketplace: Hell no!
Maybe you can find a company to sell it on consignment. You'll need to jack up the price to offset their fees and the aggravation of going this route.

I’ve been working on buying this one for a couple months. It’s a big block car, has rust in the rear qtrs and trunk floor, was a spring special in A4 silver with a black vinyl top. Runs but hasn’t run in almost 12 years. Comparing this to yours, I would put your car at the same as mentioned above, $38k-$42k. Yes, this one is also a 68. It has a 69 grille and rear tail panel, I mentioned to him that it must’ve been in a fender bender at some point, and he sheepishly replied that he hit the side of his house driving it into the garage.

No, the one I looked at in Southern California has a motor and is $35k. Now, the original poster has a much nicer car and I did mention that. So it would be worth much more than the one I looked at.
These days a decent Charger can be bought for around 100k, two of your children,and your left arm.

Pros- good visibility, easy to use.
Cons- tough to discern tire kickers and legitimate interest. Need to treat most like a potential buyer.
Being accessible and responsive is important when vehicle is listed regardless of platform.
I post on Craigslist still too.

Nice car. I bought a 68 383 car and paid $35,000. gorgeous on the outside but needed drive train and interior. I thin you are in the high 50s all day. Maybe into the low 60s if you are really patient.
