1969 Dodge Charger R/T

Description

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.
