1969 Dodge Charger base Additional Info:

I would like to say that the ONLY reason I have decided to sell this 69 Charger is so I can help my Son restore his 70 Charger. If it wasn't for that, I would not sell. I will try my best to describe everything about it, if I miss something, please let me know and I will answer all questions. This is located in Staunton Va zip code 24401, but will meet the new buyer within 100 miles of my location if needed. There will be a $500 non refundable deposit on this to help protect me in case of non payment.
This is a 1969 Dodge Charger I bought almost 2 years ago with every intention of restoring, but have decided to sell. I just had this at Carlisle Pa at the Chrysler Nationals this past weekend, you may have seen it there. This car is extremely restorable, and currently a running driving legal on the road car. I bought this and I have gone through this replacing alot of the mechanical items to make this a fun smooth driver. This will cruise down the road with no problem. Power steering is really nice, rolls straight and floats down the road. This is a 318 auto car, so it runs good but not a powerhouse, that can be changed. Here is a few thing we have done to make this car what it is.
Replaced the entire fuel system, new parts are fuel tank, sending unit, fuel line rear to front, fuel pump even the carb (Holly 750). We also replaced ALL the brake lines with new master cylinder, new booster and proportioning valve along with the new wheel cylinders. New rear shocks. Has new voltage regulator, alternator, and battery. The ingnition has been upgraded with a new electronic distributor, ECU and harness with ballast. New spark plugs. New carpet. New windshield with gasket.
Has 4 brand new Weld Draglites (15x4.5 front and 15x10 rear) with 4 brand new tires. Rear tires are Nitto Drag Radials. Flowmaster supper 44 mufflers.The body has normal rust. Most of the rust issues are on the rear of the car, the doors are very solid, front fenders as very nice. The lower rear quarters, rear vallance, tailight panel has rust. Trunk floor and rear portion of the floor pan as well. The rear framerails are nice. (which is rare). The front drivers side rail has rust, and needs repaired or replaced. The crossmember for the torsion bar has some rust. All very fixable, and repairable. I did flat black it, it was a General Lee at one time and still has the working dixie horn. This Charger was present at Cooter's Last Stand in Luray Va and is on Youtube and can easlily be found. It is featured as the thumbnail photo for the footage of the event.
The rear is an 8 3/4 non suregrip with a 2:76 gear with id tag.
Transmission is small block 727.
The 318 starts and runs very good, with 110 to 120 psi compression on all 8 cylinders. Does NOT burn oil.
The transmission does have a small leak around the shifter linkage shaft seal, which I was planning on replacing when I pulled it apart. Only leaks when it sits. When its a little low, it will be slow going in reverse, but it than goes in good, and shifts fine when driving. No kickdown linkage, so I shift this manually.
HEADLIGHTS WORK! I know thats important, and many Chargers dont, but this does. They WORK. The speedometer is almost dead on, amp meter works, but has extra gauges underneath since the rest of the gauges do not work. Dash lights will not come on. WIPERS WORK. Has the factory 3 speed wiper system, only 2 speeds work, but it works.Has a clear Va title, with 130K original miles. The speedometer was replaced so miles are very close to original and the title. The fender tag is missing (we could not find it).
The original options were white exterior dark green vinyl top, dark green interior. Thumbwheel radio, A/C, power steering, 3 speed wiper, bucket with buddy seat, light package.
