Who has the other Bengal Charger mentioned in MCG?

[Some Car Guy]

Article on Bengal Charger said 4 are known and a guy is on the forums who claims to have another one, but he won’t show any pics. Who is this mystery man? I think they are interesting cars and the 72s were confirmed as real too in the new issue.

Do they say anything about the "Big Red Machines"?

Freind of mine back In Cincy used to own the one with real low miles - unrestored. He sold it LONG ago.( he is a member here ) There was another one popped up on the Autotrader years ago but the car was RUSTY

Never heard of those

 

[YY1]

I believe it was the same dealership that had them built to honor the Reds, which were referred to as "The Big Red Machine" at the time.

I think these started in '72.
I don't remember them being six cylinders.

 

[Some Car Guy]

I haven’t heard of those and sure haven’t seen one.

The Bengal article said the dealer ordered a few slanty cars to get the advertised price very low to lure people in to up sell them.

I grew up in Northern Kentucky and remember seeing at least one around town. This was years ago. I had a 68 that was a mirror image of one that I bought when I was 16.

Where abouts in KY

I was born and raised in the Florence / Burlington area

Ive only ever seen 2 of said 68 Bengal chargers in person.
But I was only 9 yo in 1968 and not really into cars yet

I get asked if mine is one, it is not, it was originally blue.
