Great stuff! It looks quite like a '68-'69 Charger.

In fact, that's a minor nit. The nose looks like a '69 Charger, but the
taillights look like a '68. The '68 had taillights that looked like this:

         _     _                _     _
(_)   (_)              (_)   (_)

The '69 had wider taillights that looked more like this:


        _________.            ._________
       /_________|            |_________\


A detail shot of the '69 model's taillights can be seen at

The nose is spot-on. The '68 was missing the center piece in the grille.
