CLASSIC CARS LTD. 925-846-1451 OVERVIEW OF THE 1969 Charger R/T The 1969 Dodge Charger presented perhaps the widest array of choices in the history of the nameplate. There was a base model, an available SE (for "Special Edition") option that heaped on more luxuries and a hot-performing R/T version. Engine choices covered a wide range including Chrysler's trusty 225-cid Slant Six, but also included five V-8s, including the highest horsepower examples, the 440 c.i. and the 426cid "Street Hemi." Depending on the model, available transmissions were three- and four-speed manuals, plus the excellent three-speed TorqueFlite automatic. Given all these choices, it's perhaps ironic that the car came in just one body style, a two-door hardtop. The 1969 Dodge Charger was an update of the completely restyled '68 model, which meant it was built on a 117-inch wheelbase with Chrysler's familiar torsion-bar suspension up front and leaf springs in the back. New styling touches for base and R/T Chargers included a vertical center divider in the grille and horizontal taillights. Although the 440 was used in many applications, the Magnum 440 cid version under the '69 R/T's long hood featured a Carter AVS four-barrel carburetor, a more aggressive camshaft, revised cylinder heads and freer-flowing exhaust manifolds to better feed the eager dual exhausts. The standard transmission on the R/T was Chrysler's heavy-duty A727 TorqueFlite three-speed automatic. The 440/TorqueFlite combination offered enough juice to propel an R/T down New York National Speedway's strip in 13.94 seconds at 102 MPH. Breaking into the 13s with a trap speed over the century mark is no mean feat for a stock four-barrel 440 car. NUMBERS DECODED This car retains its original 440c.i. numbers matching engine and transmission and many other original components (photos of key ID plates contained in listing). Details regarding the cars build, engine, transmission and casting numbers are listed below.

Cosmetically, the car is absolutely beautiful and every indication is that it retains its original sheet metal; factory issued orange paint (Color code R4) and black interior. This rare Charger R/T 440cid will be extremely well received at any cruise-in, tour, and, at a car show has considerable potential for gathering more than its share of awards / trophies. CONDITION SUMMARY - 1969 CHARGER R/T 440cid OVERALL CONDITION This desirable 1969 Dodge Charge R/T represents a wonderful blend of originality and restored. Unlike so many muscle cars of the era, the car has remained in virtually stock configuration and retains its original, 440cid engine. Considerable effort was made to ensure that the Charger was restored cosmetically and mechanically with the goal of retaining the cars original appearance and mechanical configuration. The timeless proportions of the sought after Coke Bottle designed” Charger are not only inherently "attractive, but, unlike lower quality restorations, this car has excellent panel fit, including doors, hood, and trunk gaps. Doors close solidly, and lock, and the large body panels are straight, and damage free. The paint is excellent, laid evenly with no signs of partial repainting since the car received a complete respray in its original color. There are no significant imperfections that detract from the cars appearance. Exterior trim is equally as good with bright chrome, and exterior aluminum trim. Perhaps most important, the cars frame, undercarriage and body do not show rust that is so prevalent on cars from the Midwest, East Coast and other ‽rust zones” around the world. The engine compartment, undercarriage and trunk are immaculate and highly detailed with many original components or NOS parts. throughout with all of the factory markings, tags etc. This car has been gone through from front to back & top to bottom...New fuel tank, lines, hoses, brakes, rotors, calipers, brake lines, hoses, filters, gaskets, bushings, lights, interior, and too much to list, all done to a high standard and focus on maintaining the integrity and original appearance of the Charger R/T. MECHANICAL DETAILS / BUILD Considerable care was taken to maintain the car true to its original build specifications down to and including the TorqueFlight and #'s matching 440 cid / 375 hp ‽big block” engine and factory supplied #'s matching transmission. The engine is retains virtually all of its original factory trim including the proper ‽440” air cleaner, and other ancillary parts. While the 4bbl carburetor has been upgraded with an Edelbrock Performer Series Carburetor, the original carburetor for the car is included along with a number of spare parts. The engine compartment is highly detailed, painted in factory proper BBright Red -(Code R4), and free from grease, and oil. The engine shows recently replaced items including a new alternator and voltage regulator as part of ongoing maintenance and care. While the repair history / maintenance file is too extensive to list in detail a summary of recent work is as follows: - New alternator / voltage regulator - Oil service (within 200 miles) - Complete cooling system flush replace coolant (< 300 miles) - New front brake pads and calipers ( |
