    Bullitt, apparently the screenwriter couldn't spell...

    Also, the Bullit cars had no coral or horse...

    The '68 Mustang OM cover should show the Mustang driving past a Charger exploding in a gas station.

    My car love as a boy, after thinking Herbie the Love Bug was the best car ever, were the Chargers used in the Dukes of Hazzard. The highlight of my 7th grade year was spotting a bunch of General Lees in a high fenced lot while on a field trip in Newhall, California.  The bus was tall enough for us to see about 6 of those orange beauties.

    Re: 1968 Dodge Charger Owner's Manual

    There was an episode of 21 Jump Street where they were trying to bust street racers and Johnny Depp was undercover driving a Mustang fastback.  I was 10-12 when that episode aired and within 5 years I'd own one.  Movies and TV definitely drove a lot of young people into the car hobby.  Maybe that's the problem today...

    Charges are badass. My little brother had a 68 Charger RT that came with a 440 4 speed Dana 60 rear, that he swapped in a ex CHP 413 that went 150 in the CHP car. That heavy car was fast, way too fast for a 17 year old kid.

    Don't forget Vanishing point!
    That  white Challenger was all the influence I needed to buy a 70 Dodge Challenger.
    Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry was another movie that got this youngster's juices squirting/flowing
    (oops...sorry!)
    Mustangs have ALWAYS been cool (65-70)

    Re: 1968 Dodge Charger Owner's Manual

    For shame!

    Three words guys:

    Two Lane Blacktop

    Also, I rode to school for some years in a '70 Charger.  Same guy whose wife was driving us had a '70 Challenger 440 six pack car with a 4 speed and a D60 rear with all the go fast stuff.  He used to work at the Chrysler plant in Newark, which is now sadly gone like most of Delaware's manufacturing industry.  Exercising serious restraint not to go on a political rant here.
