I was only 13 years old in 1968. I loved the design of the 1968 2 door with the 289cc engine. I was fortunate enough to get one in the early 1980’s and I owned it for 35 years. It was always a head-turner!

I've had lots of fast cars ranging from Corvettes to a TVR but my favorite ride was my 1969 Dodge Charger R/T with a 440 V-8 Magnum. I bought it new from a dealer after someone special ordered a number of items deleted and didn't buy it. It had no A/C, no power steering, no power brakes, and the rear R/T strip was also missing. The 4-speed Hurst shifter came with a bend to get it closer to the driver. It was a beast to drive w/o power steering. but you could catch rubber in all four gears. It was also fun to run in first gear on idle, and let it chug abound the local drive-in. I never made any mechanical changes to it but I did install rear speakers and a 4 track tape deck (later upgraded to an 8-track lol).

Had a 1968 Charger 383 — was probably my only “should never have sold” car.. Kept it 8 years ...
-
The 1960s through the early 1970s had the best looking muscle car's ever.

When I got out of the Army in May 1968 my goal was to own a Shelby Mustang. In September of 1968 I found a 1968 Shelby GT500 convertible for sale at a car dealer for $3,500.00. I bought it and then traded it in 1972 for a new Torino. Fast forward to 1978 and I bought another 1968 Shelby but this one was a GT500KR convertible.

My dad bought a 69 Road Runner I was 13 years old at the time and did get to drive it when I turned 16 that was a blast for a 16 year old boy, everyone wanted to hear the horn n lots of people wanted to race me as well
-
Had a '68 RoadRunner 383 Hurst 4 Speed on the Floor E70 Front Tires G60's in the Rear - a real screamer

Quickness and muscle were difficult to join. Zero to sixty, the quarter mile and top end were different beasts. I both lived in and loved the muscle car era. You could easily take something stock and turn it into an absolute monster. Working on and driving them was so much fun. I wish I still had all of them.

My first car was a 1968 Malibu, (Red) Chevy (327 C.I.). Purchased in Cal for $2200.00 with low mileage. Totaled it the same year with five friends in the car; doing about 110. No one got even a scratch and not any were wearing seat belts. I had the Astro Supreme wheels which were very popular back then.
-
Loved All the '68s. Mom's cousin had a '68 Vette, and took me for a ride! I was 8, and have no clue which engine was in it, but I Loved that car.
-
Friend of mine dad worked at a Ford dealership in Beaverton Or back in late 60s early 70s. He was driving a like 69 or 70 Ford Torino with the 428 with shaker hood. We got to take it out once and Man that car moved!!! You could do a burn out for as far as you wanted!! Fantastic fast car!
-
My dad had a beautiful black 68 charger I loved riding in that car with him
-
I had a 68 GTO 400Ci ram air. Loved that car.

My brother bought a new red '66 Chevelle SS 396 with 375 HP and a 4 speed tranny a year before he got out of the Navy. I was 14 years old at the time so I don't know every detail about it except the car smoked the tires in first, second and third gear without power shifting just by flooring it. One time, his foot slipped off the clutch when stopped at a stop sign at idle and it chirped the tires. I thought the car would stall but it kept going. That's power! He got married and traded that car for a first year Vega (ugh!) that rotted out badly after only three years. The '60's muscle cars were all great. My High School parking lot was packed with them back in the day!

Had a 73' Challenger 340 4- barrel, 4 speed pistol grip shifter, a 69' Swinger 340 4-barrel with a Torq flight automatic. In high school I had a 66'Chevell 327 4-speed rock crusher transmission. Later on, a 70' Chevell SS cowl induction, 400 small block, 4-speed, red with a white stripe down the center, white interior. Wish I had them today.
-
To think of the kinds of cars that could be had for $3,500-$4,000. There are lawnmowers that cost more than that today.
-
All beautiful cars. The 1960's was a decade long, with as much history as most centuries packed in.
-
I had a 66’ Chevelle convertible with the SS396 pkg and a 4 speed. I bought it used for $1650 with 20 thousand miles. It was 19 months old when I purchased it. It was fun to drive and I got rid of it in 1971 with 92,000 miles when I got married.
-
My first car was a 1968 SS 396 Chevelle. It weighed 3,400 pounds and cost me $3,400 which exactly met Chevy's $1 per pound target. To get that price, it didn't have air conditioning, power steering, nor an am-fm radio. Great car to drive.

My dad had a 68 firebird. 326 o/h cam 4 speed. Beauty car.
