The 1969 Charger R/T SE was a combination of muscle and luxury. Far
better equipped than its cousin, the Plymouth Road Runner, which
was not available with a single four-barrel 440, the SE option
(Code A47), came with the following items: leather and vinyl bucket
seats, sport steering wheel, pedal dress up, light package, deep
dish wheel covers, woodgrain instrument panel, hood-mounted turn
signals and C-pillar SE emblem. �€"Hemmings Muscle Machines,
October, 2007 Numbers-matching, original build sheet included, all
original body panels and fully restored to showroom condition, this
1969 Dodge Charger R/T SE is one of 20,100 of 69,142 reportedly
built for the model year. The fully restored terminology is not
idle bombast, but rather an accurate description of the car (and
its two stablemates as well). The R/T SE's restoration profile and
history was fully documented by Hemmings in their October 2007
issue of Muscle Machines (copy of the article is included in the
sale). Quoting a previous owner, Hemmings recorded: 'This was a
survivor car, all original before the owner went to get it
restored, and really not in bad shape,' reports current keeper
Louis Barrie, of West Hills, California. 'It had never been hit,
though there was some minor work, with little dings and such, that
was primed. It was rust-free, it had the original black California
plates, and other than the spot-priming here and there, it had the
original paint. It even came with the original paper dealer
tags--from Moss Brothers in San Bernardino.' Hemmings expressed
their relief at its survivor status adding: Somehow, thankfully,
this gorgeous car escaped the fate that befell more than 300 '69
Chargers gathered up (mostly from southern California) by Warner
Brothers prop crews and reportedly destroyed by stunt drivers
launching them through the air on the Dukes of Hazzard. Gorgeous is
an apt description of this Charger R/T SE from an expert, unbiased,
automobile magazine. From its distinctive split front grille to its
equally distinctive black R/T stripe across the rear deck, looked
at from every possible angle, the car is a delight. More than 200
photographs and a short walk-around-and-startup video available on
the GarageKeptMotors website are well worth investing whatever time
you like to inspect the car online. If loading the photos takes
longer than normal, please understand that our servers are being
taxed by the high number of folks enjoying these shots. Under its
pristine-condition black vinyl top-showcasing the SE badging-and
near-flawless Charger red paint, virtually every aspect of the car
is properly finished and clean as can be, down to and including the
hood-mounted turn signal indicator lights and the beautifully
designed fuel-filler door. Non-original red-stripe tires are
mounted on original styled steel wheels. The undercarriage is no
less impressive: perfect paintwork, pristine dual exhaust pipes
(all properly hung), properly finished suspension components, and
literally every nut and bolt expertly refinished. The engine bay
displays the same high state of condition with the 440 Magnum
4-barrel engine in the correct Mopar factory color surrounded by
properly finished and located hardware, hoses and related
components, including air-conditioning compressor and
power-steering pump. Inside the trunk, the detail continues with
factory stickers intact in the correct locations, spare red-stripe
tire, jack, and factory floor covering. The interior of the car
reflects the luxury/performance combination characteristic of the
R/T SE model. Wood-veneer trim graces the rim of the steering
wheel, the full width of
