Powered by a freshly rebuilt 440 Magnum V8 (<10,000 miles) and paired with its original 3-speed automatic, this Charger runs but needs TLC to roar back to its “Dukes of Hazzard” glory. Clear Utah title, located in Richland, WA—ready for its next chapter!
History:
Cherished by one family since new, this Charger R/T was purchased by my father in 1969 and upgraded with period-correct Cragar mag wheels to have a more muscle car look. Driven until the late ’80s, my dad had the intent of restoring it so he could pass it down to one of us. He did a little body work on it (including repairing holes in the front floor boards) and painted the car (including the white vinyl top) to help protect these areas. Then covered it up over 30 years ago to protect it and never got to the restoration. A true legacy car, it’s now ready for a passionate collector to bring it back to life.
