1969 Dodge Charger

1969 Dodge Charger Hardtop For consignment, a 1969 Dodge Charger hardtop showing 37,937 miles which are not actual. What is actual is the story of this car, and the fact that in the Mopar world, or just about any other muscle car realm, its approaching Holy Grail status. What we have here is a one woman owned Dodge Charger with a numbers matching drivetrain. Nearly 100,000 Chargers were produced in 1969. The number that are still in the original hands can probably be counted on the fingers of your hands! Exterior Bright Red was chosen by a young lady in 1969 and she spent the next 55 years pampering her baby and the single stage has held up very well over the years. Even by objective measures, the B-body Charger design from 68 to 70 is a masterpiece of muscular features and sinuous lines and in 69, the inclusion of a centerpiece on the grille and elongated tail lights in a black, concave latch panel are unforgettable field marks. The wide shoulders flow back to a flat decklid and carry with them flying buttress C-pillars that are the definition of motion in a stationary design. Indentations in the hood a functional design that adds character to the car and we could go on and on about the design, but lets talk about condition. There are spots with paint touch up and some bubbles by a side marker, but the rest of the paint and metal work are in fantastic shape. Interior The black door panels with varied spaced design lines are immaculate. The front bucket seats are remarkable as well with some slight patina on the drivers perch. The rear seats? Nearly perfect and its said that the owner may not have allowed riders, let alone eating in the car, and it shows. The steering wheel shows no wear, and the black textured plastic dash holds a row of gauges beginning with the clock inside the tachometer dial and a speedometer that tops out at 150mph. Yes, 150. The central AM/FM radio combines traditional push buttons with finger dials above a row of vents and its all clean. The woodgrain applique on the center console, usually an area that shows chips and usage, is spectacularly clean and the tall shifter looks factory fresh. Black loop carpet below in congruent with the overall condition, the headliner is intact and in good shape, and the trunk has a plaid mat and we can only call it clean because were running out of synonyms! Drivetrain Clean and original looking is the numbers matching 383ci V8 under the hood with a 4-barrel carburetor and tied to the numbers matching A833 4-speed manual transmission. In back, we have 8 inch rear with 3.23 gears and SureGrip. Power drum brakes are front and rear, behind the 14-inch Mopar Road wheels wrapped in 225/70R14 tires with a mid 2024 date code. Undercarriage Time that has passed is evident underneath as metals become oxidized or coated in surface rust, paint peels, and unwashed road dirt becomes sooty and black. But thats not to say the underside is dirty. By age standards, its in fantastic condition and happens to have a brand new gas tank. The dual exhaust travels through stock style mufflers before exiting steel pipes under the car. Suspension is standard torsion bar in front and leaf springs in the back. Drive-Ability Sure, the 383 is no 440, but its no slouch either. And this well maintained car, which had all of its fluids changed recently, performs well and delivers adequate power and acceleration. The ride is smooth, thanks in part to those 70 series tires and overall, big design. This is pure, analog driving at its best and with so few bells and whistles, theres less to go wrong and in fact, all operating functions work as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. What more can we say? Well let the photos do the rest of the talking. Let us just reiterate, youre looking at a one owner, numbers matching Mopar legend. Included with the sale is the build sheet, the amazing original invoice, and you get the original gas tank too!
