The Topless Charger began life as a standard 1968 Charger R/T. Chief stylist for Chrysler Corporation, Elwood P. Engel, used the roofless Charger as an evaluation in styling. The Charger's roof was cut down to the beltline, while a short windshield kept the occupants' faces.
The door handles were removed to maintain a sleek, clean image, and the rear seating area was covered with a roadster hard-shell boot. The white with blue-trimmed Charger had its bumpers de-chromed and painted body color (white). The hood and trunk lid were both painted non-glare black. Additional sport features included a perforated stainless alloy steering wheel, cone-styled side view mirrors, custom racing wheels, finned side pipes, locking hood pins, and dual quick-fill gas caps.
