Bad Ass American Rides Pt. 4: '68 Dodge Charger on a Test Drive

by Gary Spencer

So far this week we've taken a look at some bad ass cars that have come from the good ol' US of A. So far we've seen some Chevys and some Fords, but I think it' due time for Dodge to represent. So here we go with video of a fine Dodge Charger to add a little spice to your system.

The '68 Dodge Charger should be up there with your classic Mustangs and Camaros for your top tier American muscle cars. Here in this video we get a prime example of classic American steel on wheels. We get views of the car's exterior and inside of the car's interior as we go for a ride around the neighborhood. This particular car is among my favorite Dodges ever made, and given that this performance car was later tapped as the main ride for The Dukes of Hazzard, apparently I'm not the only one who thinks this car is an American dream of power and performance.

The '68 Dodge Charger is up be up there with classics like the Mustang and Camaro. However, there are basically three categories of muscle car. The Charger is full size, Mustangs and Camaros are "pony class" - mid-size, and the third category is anything not in the first two - like a Dodge Dart with a 272 Commando (compact) or a somewhat plain Ford Galaxie 500 with a 427, 428, or 429 (full size) - basically a plain car that is "more go than show" - a sleeper like the 1972 Chrysler Newport I had with a 440. It could lay down 100 feet of rubber and passed anything but a gas station.
