Lot 1979: 1968 Dodge Charger R/T

A 1968 Dodge Charger R/T is worth anywhere from $130,000 to $250,000+ depending on whether it’s equipped with the legendary 426 Hemi engine and its overall condition.

Here’s the breakdown based on recent market activity:

The Hemi Factor

The 426 Hemi (VIN code XS29J) makes all the difference. Recent Hemi Charger sales show:

• Recent sales range: $130,000 - $247,500
• Average: ~$196,000
• Price range: $145,000 - $240,000+ among comparables

Recent Comparable Sales

• $247,500 - Mecum Kissimmee 2025 (47k miles) - SOLD
• $231,000 - Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2025 - SOLD
• $176,000 - Mecum Kissimmee 2025 (98k miles) - SOLD
• $130,000 - Bring a Trailer 2025 (84k miles) - SOLD

The current car you’re looking at has an asking price of $279,000, which sits at the premium end—but it’s justified by several rare factors:

Why This Car Commands Top Dollar

• Ultra-low original mileage (~14,500 miles vs. typical 40k-80k+ for comparables)
• Highly original survivor (original paint, interior, even the battery)
• Exceptional documentation (broadcast sheet, CertiCard, Chrysler International manual, Dave Wise verification)
• Rare EE1 Dark Blue factory color plus well-optioned (power windows, 8-track, SureGrip)
• Unique export provenance (Venezuela car with Spanish documentation)

Non-Hemi Charger R/Ts

If you’re looking at a standard 440 or 383-equipped R/T, expect roughly 40-60% less than Hemi prices—typically $75k-$150k depending on condition.
