Introduced in 1966, the Charger was Dodge's version of the intermediate-size specialty fastback coupe that many manufacturers were selling. At $3,122, it was a little more expensive than the AMC Marlin or Ford's Fairlane 500 XL, but it was well equipped and offered a choice of 318- or 361-cubic inch V-8s. When the R/T was introduced you could get a Magnum 440 powerplant, such as seen in this 1969 Dodge Charger R/T. Suddenly "sport sedan" took on a new meaning outfitted with wide treads, heavy-duty springs, shocks, brakes and sway bar.
This particular example, finished brilliantly in bright red, was treated to a comprehensive, nut and bolt restoration that looks amazing ten years after completion. This classic Charger features a full vinyl roof in white, vinyl bucket seats, floor shifter, console, tinted windshield, driver's side remote rearview mirror, Rallye instrument cluster, three-speed wipers with washer, factory AM stereo radio, 150-mph speedometer, tach/clock (tic-toc-tach), upgraded Grant GT steering wheel, hidden headlights, R/T stripe on the rear, drip rail and body moldings. Adding to this classic's great looks are a set of chrome 15-inch Magnum 500 wheels wrapped with F70-15 redline tires.
Under the long hood is a healthy 440-cid V-8 engine mated to a 3-speed A727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission. Mechanical upgrades include a Edelbrock Performer intake topped with a Holley Demon carburetor and chrome open element air cleaner. Additionally, it is equipped with an aluminum radiator, chrome Moroso valve covers, long tube headers, power steering, power front disc brakes and dual exhaust with Flowmasters that deliver and aggressive growl when running.
This 1969 Dodge Charger R/T is an unmistakable and highly desired representative of the Dodge Scat Pack lineup of cars... they were the cars with the bumblebee stripes and as recognized today as when new. Call today!
