Sounds like you have an exhaust valve(s) not opening, possible lobe gone off cam or valve train issue.

Why yes, the ORIGinal CHARGER is a Fastback

Take top off and look for buttons broke off the rockers. Sometimes you can find these stuck to drain plug. But most likely you have a roller on lifter broke, turned sideways and really messed up cam shaft. Bad enough and ran long enough, you may be looking at new motor.
