Vehicle Description
Introduced in 1966, the Charger was Dodge's version of the
intermediate-size specialty fastback coupe that many manufacturers
were selling. At $3,122, it was a little more expensive than the
AMC Marlin or Ford's Fairlane 500 XL, but it was well equipped and
offered a choice of 318- or 361-cubic inch V-8s. When the R/T was
introduced you could get a Magnum 440 powerplant, such as seen in
this 1969 Dodge Charger R/T. Suddenly "sport sedan" took on a new
meaning outfitted with wide treads, heavy-duty springs, shocks,
brakes and sway bar.
This particular example, finished brilliantly in bright red, was
treated to a comprehensive, nut and bolt restoration that looks
amazing ten years after completion. This classic Charger features a
full vinyl roof in white, vinyl bucket seats, floor shifter,
console, tinted windshield, driver's side remote rearview mirror,
Rallye instrument cluster, three-speed wipers with washer, factory
AM stereo radio, 150-mph speedometer, tach/clock (tic-toc-tach),
upgraded Grant GT steering wheel, hidden headlights, R/T stripe on
the rear, drip rail and body moldings. Adding to this classic's
great looks are a set of chrome 15-inch Magnum 500 wheels wrapped
with F70-15 redline tires.
