Losing this classic Charger’s roof meant losing the coupe’s distinctive C-pillars, not something today’s Dodge designers would have to worry about

The 1968-70 Dodge Charger crammed a lot into its three seasons on sale, becoming both a movie car chase icon and the first NASCAR racer to top 200 mph . But the one thing it never was, at least not officially, was a convertible. You could buy a convertible version of the Dodge Coronet, the Charger’s less glamorous brother, and even equip it with the same big-power 426- and 440 cu-in V8s. But the second-generation Charger was only ever available from the factory as a coupe.

One upgrade we can all appreciate, however, is the 7.2-liter 440 V8, which occupies the space where a diddy 318 cu-in motor once lived.
