The engine, I believe from the S. M. 105 stamping on the front pad was rebuilt by 105th engine from famous Race Team / Sox and Martin. It is also stamped HC ( High compression )under the block near the starter indicating super stock engine. The heads are casting 2780559.

The 26 inch Radiator is original part number 2898048. Used in 1968 Hemi cars

The engine was removed stored on a stand in a heated garage in a bag on a stand since removed in 1996.

The engine is very clean looking down the openings and turn over fine. It had clean oil in it. I have not disassembled it.

Based on the person I got if from it was built by Sox And Martin it is high compression and has a race type solid camshaft in it.

The original born with Hemi 3 speed 727 HD transmission is the original numbers matching unit and the VIN 226737 clearly appears on the top of bell housing. My research shows they are also different inside because of the 1968 426 Hemi applications. The 8 ¾ sure grip rear case is casting 2881489 mopar.

In addition, the Road Runner rides on original 15 inch rallye steel road wheel with all new F70 15 Red Line bias tires.

I am told the Mopar wheel covers are the original to this car and are very rare 15inch units only available on select 1968 Hemi Chargers and Hemi Road Runners.

The car is verified by North Carolina title history has having only 92k actual miles. This car has a clear PA title in my name with actual 92k miles.

It is also thoroughly documented as a true Hemi car with its factory-original VIN, body stampings, 1968 Hemi K Member with hemi mount and skid plate, original fender tag, and verification from trusted"Richard Kras My Mopar.com" and truly represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the rarest Blue Chip Chrysler Hemi muscle cars today.
