Stolen 1968 Dodge Charger Among Vehicles Taken in Oakland Warehouse Heist
Oakland, CA – A rare 1968 Dodge Charger was one of several vehicles stolen in late August 2025 during a break-in at an Oakland warehouse. The theft was discovered in early September after suspects removed siding and broke through interior sheetrock to access the storage space. Additional vehicles, including other cars, two Harley-Davidson motorcycles, and an International tow truck, were also taken in the same incident.
Vehicle Description: 1968 Dodge Charger. Originally a 383 car, now upgraded to a 440 Magnum V8 paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Exterior is light green, while the original dark green appears under the hood, in the trunk, and in the door jambs. Interior features a white bench seat in decent driver condition. The car rides on cop car steel wheels with 1967 Ford Thunderbird hubcaps, has hot-rod style stickers on the underside of the hood, a distinctive “Mickey Mouse” antenna on the right front fender, no vinyl top, and is not an R/T model. Overall described as a solid, straight driver rather than a restored showpiece.
VIN: XP29H8B289896
Historic California Plate: 989 SSM
Date Window: Approx. late August 2025; discovered early September 2025
Location: Oakland, CA
Hinch Investigations Case #: 25-0084
Why It Matters: The ’68 Charger launched Dodge’s second-generation “Coke bottle” design and became a cultural icon after its appearance as the villin’s car in Bullitt. This example is a classic “Day Two” hot-rod build—performance-focused, period-styled, and uniquely identifiable by its 440/4-speed powertrain, slick-top look, hubcaps, stickers, and antenna detail.
