1969 Dodge Charger R/T Additional Info:
1969 Dodge Charger R/T
Offered for sale is our REAL "XS29L9B" Coded Charger R/T - this is NOT a cloned car, or car with a bunch of stories. This is the real deal.
Featuring its original, NUMBERS MATCHING 440 Magnum Engine and A727 Automatic Transmission.(Updated with electronic ignition, modern carburetor and manifold, distributor, and air cleaner assembly - Also changed to 3 Spoke Dodge woodgrain styled Steering Wheel - I have the original parts, and they are included, including the pie-tin air cleaner and valve covers, steering wheel, etc.).- Finished in B5 Blue exterior with Blue Bucket Seat interior (C55), and Center Console (C16), the car has had one repaint (around 1985), and presents very well (scroll over pics for larger size).
- This car also is originally equipped with Tinted Glass (G11), Air Conditioning (H51), Body Mouldings (M21 and M31), AM Radio (R11), Black Vinyl Roof (V1X), and Black R/T Stripe (V8X).
- All matching numbers on this car, including, aside from the engine and transmission, the body numbers on the radiator core support, trunk opening, and VIN plate, the Fender Tag is also present. I have the original Broadcast (build) Sheet, and the Window Sticker. All documents are consistent and proper.This is a NUMBERS MATCHING car.
The previous owner purchased this car in 1985 from who was believed to be the original owner, who brought the car from Texas to Virginia. The history is known, and I have a binder of records from sale to maintenance, etc., which is about 1 inch thick. Car was used sparingly by the last owner, for shows, cruises, etc., and was properly kept under cover, in the garage, when not being driven.
The car was professionally appraised in a 22-Page report in November 2014, and was found to be an excellent example of an original 1969 Dodge Charger R/T. This 1969 Dodge Charger R/T has been garage kept since 1985 and was kept in a carport before then. It's a solid car, and very well preserved. Pride in ownership shows throughout.This car is a time capsule,well-preserved and kept dry. It was not used or driven in the elements, and looks fantastic!!
The doors shut like new, no sagging in them at all - did I mention this car is a very nice example of a 69 R/T Charger?
The car drives exceptionally nice, the speedometer is accurate, and a very enjoyable classic muscle car which would be the prize in any collection. I have owned 2nd Generation Dodge Chargers for 27 years, and this has been the best! The car turns heads wherever it goes. It's a LOT of fun!!- This summer, we took a 180 mile road trip. Car ran straight down the highway at 70 MPH, and needed only one or two fingers on the wheel tosteer. So smooth!! Car got so many "thumbs-ups" and cell phone pictures taken. If you like attention, you will LOVE this car!!
Original sheet metal, no accidents or dents/damage. And the car - since the repaint in 1985, was never washed with a hose/water - only wiped down. The condition overall is amazing!
- For disclosure: there is light checking in the upper door panels (mostly original interior), the fuel gauge does not function, or the wipers, and the driver seat has a very discrete 2" split in a seam. You also may want to charge the air conditioning. There are a few very minor chips or blemishes in the paint (which are so minor, they do not show up in pics), as one would expect from a 32-year old finish.Make no mistake however, this car presents itself exceptionally well, and drives like a dream.
- The floors are solid, and so are frame rails, suspension boxes, etc. (pics are included in this listing).
I've personally known this car the past 15+ years and the condition is the same.- Mileage is approximately 69,000 - and the paperwork shows this to be actual.
Price: $64,500- I will release the car only once the funds clear.
- Clear title, in my name. No excuses, no games. Please do not bid if you are not serious or able to complete the sale. If you have less than 10 feedbacks, you must contact mebefore bidding or I may cancel your bid.
- I will work with your shipper if you are not local - but again, the car does not move until the funds clear. Thank you for yourunderstanding.
- Ask questions or schedule a time to come inspect the car if you like. I am available to help with any questions you might have -I have described this car to the best of my ability. Thankyou again.
- Car is located under 20 miles south of Washington DC, in thesuburbs of Northern Virginia. If you plan to come and see the car prior to purchase, fly to IAD or DCA. I am 25 minutes from either airport.
- Don't miss this opportunity to buy an amazing 1969 R/T Charger!
Some questions have been asked - so I'll answer here for all to see:
