1968 Dodge Charger R/T - Bright Red (Ertl Authentics) 1/18
Product Details Temp out of stock
The '68 Dodge Charger was restyled and runnin' wild, complete with new body lines, a hidden-headlight grilled and a refined tail. Dodge also introduced the R/T model as the leader unopposed of its infamous "Scat Pack." Of over 17,500 R/T models sold, just 475 received the almighty 426 Hemi which enabled the R/T to run the 1/4 mile in 13.8 seconds and race from 0-60 in 5.3. Exclusive R/T fare included an improved suspension, heavy-duty brakes and dual exhausts, and the rear deck "bumble bee" stripes were a popular way of warning unsuspecting prey!

The Dodge Charger debuted in 1966 and reached its styling peak with the 1968–1970 B-body design — one of the most dramatic shapes in American automotive history. The 1969 Charger Daytona was a NASCAR homologation special with a 23-inch aerodynamic nose cone and towering rear wing, with only 503 built. The Charger's role in the Dukes of Hazzard as the 'General Lee' cemented its place in American pop culture, though collectors prize the real high-performance variants far more than their television counterpart.
This 1/18 scale replica of the 1968 Dodge Charger in Red is produced by Ertl Authentics to collector-grade specifications. At 1/18 scale — the most popular collector scale — the model measures approximately 10 inches in length and displays beautifully on a shelf or in a glass cabinet. Every detail — from paint finish to badging — is reproduced from measurements taken from the original vehicle.
