Vehicle Description
This is one of 503 known Dodge Charger Daytonas produced in the
early summer of 1969 to be legal in time for the very first NASCAR
race at Talladega, which the body style won handily. This was one
of the street versions sold to the public that year. Shipped new to
Brook Hurst Dodge in Garden Grove, CA, on August 25, 1969, this
rare Dodge had a comprehensive rotisserie refreshing completed in
2012. It retains its original 440ci Magnum engine with a 4-barrel
carburetor and dual exhaust. Behind the original engine is the
correct date-coded automatic transmission. This car received the
Performance Axle Package, which included a Sure-Grip equipped
3.55:1 rear for street-strip manners. It is equipped with power
steering and brakes with front discs, black vinyl interior
featuring bucket seats and center console, as well as a Thumbwheel
solid-state radio and in-dash tachometer and clock. While Daytona's
came in all R/T colors, this version wears the popular Bright Red,
which covers the unique aero nose cone, special front fender air
extractors and everything else, except for the high-rise black rear
wing. The final option was the extra-cost styled road wheels and
red line tires, a perfect complement to the body color.
