Vehicle Description
If there's one muscle car we know will make the phone ring, it's
this 1969 Dodge Charger. A perennial favorite among Mopar fans and
muscle car fans alike, this is arguably the best-looking powerhouse
of the late-60s. Each of the three years of 2nd generation Chargers
has its proponents, so if you're a '69 fan, this Hemi Orange beauty
with a powerful 383 V8 and 4-speed manual probably warrants at
least a phone call. It won't be with us long, I can promise you
that.
Repainted in Hemi Orange not long ago, this super sharp Charger
definitely has the look, from the hidden headlights up front to the
razor-sharp fender lines, to the flying buttress C-pillars out
back, and there's nothing else that looks like it. The orange paint
is arguably the car's most desirable color and we're always
especially fond of Chargers with high-impact paint jobs, simply
because it lets the gorgeous body shape speak for itself. Aside
from the R/T "bumblebee" stripe around the tail and the black vinyl
roof, they restored back to its simplest form, although Chrysler
wasn't building anything this shiny in 1969. The split front grille
is unique to the '69s, and the builders resisted the temptation to
slap any fake R/T badges anywhere, so this beautiful B-Body
attracts all of its attention honestly. The black vinyl top is new
and gives it a grown-up look and is in excellent condition with the
right grain and a great fit. Use of chrome is restrained on the
Charger, but the shiny bits like the bumpers, side mirror, antenna,
and window surrounds all look great, particularly against the
bright orange paint.
Chargers are probably popular because they're fast, but also
because they're spacious, comfortable, and surprisingly luxurious.
The handsome black bucket seats look almost original and show only
light signs of use, making it very inviting and factory-correct
inside. The same is true of the door panels, dash pad, and
headliner, although we're betting the carpets have been replaced
since they're just too nice. A Hurst shifter is always a welcome
site in the middle of a Charger's cabin, and with that cue-ball up
top it basically taunts the driver to bang through the gears and
drive it like you stole it. There's also a factory-standard Music
Master AM unit still in the dash and the gauges, while original,
still look very good and have been augmented with a column-mounted
tachometer and a pair of aftermarket auxiliary units below the
dash. The original dash is remarkably free of any cracks (a rarity
in these cars) and it's adorned with wood applique for an upscale
touch while the steering wheel is a factory-spec unit that looks
fantastic. Out back, the spacious trunk is roomy enough to
accommodate just about any travel plans, and shows off just how
solid this Charger really is.
The very stock-looking engine bay houses a 383 cubic inch V8, which
is what this Charger was originally born with, although we don't
think this one is number matching. It's got a few signs of use, but
the overall condition of the engine bay is consistent with a very
well-kept original car and everybody is impressed by how smoothly
this sucker idles. A 4-barrel carburetor rests atop an Edelbrock
Performer RPM intake manifold under the original air cleaner that's
been adorned with proper decals, and there are some Accel Super
Stock wires and chrome valve covers, but beyond that, it's quite
stock and authentic-looking. The 4-speed manual transmission is
what you really want if you love to drive, and it turns an
original-spec 8.75-inch rear end out back that is more than
equipped to handle all that horsepower and torque. Hedman long-tube
headers feed a Flowmaster dual exhaust system, so it has that
awesome Mopar big block sound that can still rattle the neighbors
if you want it to. It's very solid and honest underneath, showing
off a lifetime of easy living and proper care, and the American
Racing Torque Thrust wheels wrapped in 225/70/15 front and
275/60/15 rear BFGoodrich white-letter radials finish the
aggressive look.
