The 1968 Charger R/T in Bullitt.

Steve McQueen drives the Stang fastback while the two goons he's after drive the memorable 1968 black Charger R/T, I believe with a 426 Hemi.
Interestingly, this Charger did not have the word DODGE anywhere on its bodywork. One of the reasons I love the look of the 1970 Challenger
so much is that this automobile did in fact have DODGE in chrome letters on the body. Always on the rear panel but sometimes on the hood front as well.
I would never own any Dodge vehicle unless it says DODGE clearly on the body exterior from the factory.

Let me get this right, you would pass on a Hemi 68 Charger because it had chrome Dodge letters on it?

No, quite to the contrary. The '68 Charger did NOT have any Dodge letters on it. 1970 Challengers did. I like the Challenger body style better anyway.
However, it's a shame the 1970 Challenger did not have the badass "Corvette" round quad taillights the '68 Charger had. You can see the DODGE badge on the center light lens.


Here is the 1970 Challenger rear backup light lens with DODGE logo, new generation Challengers this century kept this Dodge center of rear panel badge tradition.
This little 1970 plastic part can be a pretty 2024 penny.
