what's a 1968 dodge charger rt worth?

Question

Accepted Answer

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.
