For Sale: 1969 Dodge Charger in St. Louis, Missouri

The Charger was introduced in 1966 as a mid-sized luxury sport model for Dodge in response to the Ford Mustang, AMC Rambler Marlin, and Plymouth Barracuda. All these cars shared modern fastback body lines that were quite attractive to buyers. Dodge decided to revamp the Charger in 1968 with larger, more pronounced body lines. And for 1969, and Chargers received a grill divider and longitudinal taillights to replace the 4 round individual lamps, along with side market lights becoming rectangular as well. These second-generation versions are generally considered the most desirable for collectors and continued through to 1970 with subtle revisions year to year. Today, Chargers continue to get the hearts racing of all muscle car collectors who find them in restored condition. This example is no exception!

We are very excited to offer this 1969 Dodge Charger Hardtop R/T clone finished in beautiful Black Cherry Metallic paint over Black bucket seat interior. This stellar example was owned for 19 years by the previous owner and underwent a full rotisserie restoration completed in 2008 with outstanding results! Fitted with its original, numbers matching 383ci V8-4bbl engine factory rated at 330 horsepower paired with its original A727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission, and rear axle ratio of 3.23:1. The option list is very strong and includes power steering, power disc brakes, factory air conditioning, windshield washer, remote drivers mirror, Rally gauges with clock, center console, and solid-state AM radio. Improvements made during the restoration included a full conversion of the air conditioning to a modern Classic Auto Air system with more efficient R134a compressor, in-dash evaporator/blower assembly, & digital controls; Edelbrock 600cfm carburetion, 4-wheel disc brake conversion, rear R/T body stripe in white, Flowmaster dual exhaust, BOSS Motorsports chrome wheels measuring 18x8 in the front and 18x9.5 in the rear with tires measuring 235/40ZR18 in the front and 275/35ZR18 at the rear.

This completely numbers matching Charger was built in September 1968 and was cherished by its former owner since 2003. The distinct shape and body lines of the 1969 Charger are hard to beat, with sleek lines down the doors creating reversed side scoops, and concealed forward headlights make for a sinister appearance! The added R/T stripe across the back and the deep gloss Black Cherry paint job with the chrome wheels make this Dodge really stand out among the rest! This example now shows some imperfections from being enjoyed, but overall remains quite stunning!

Upon arrival to the St. Louis Car Museum purchase in 2022, we have inspected and performed the following: oil pressure switch was replaced, along with the temperature sender, blower motor resister, horn relay, and horn. We installed a fresh air filter, changed the engine oil and filter, and added the premium Classic AutoAir Perfect Fit Elite complete air conditioning system, and professionally detailed to make that unique deep Black Cherry color shine! You would be hard pressed to find another car with this combination of originality, desired options and a restoration to this caliber!
