1969 Dodge Charger R/T 440

Description

After its exploits were memorialized during one of the most epic car chases ever filmed in the movie "Bullitt," this 1969 Dodge Charger R/T 440 and its kind became seriously coveted muscle cars, as legions of performance aficionados rushed to their local Chrysler Dodge dealership to put some of that four wheel, big block magic in their garages. This classic still features its original engine and original colors both inside and out.

The brilliant red paint this '69 wears is the same shade it left the factory with nearly 50 years ago, and a freshening up just a few years back has it looking its best. With its even texture and great shine, it really presents well and the relatively badgeless look of the exterior allows the paint to take center stage. From the signature split front grille all the way back to the trim surrounding the taillights, the chrome fittings are looking very solid, and clear glass surrounds the cabin. The contrast provided by the black vinyl tops on Chargers of this era contributed a lot to their overall style, and the one on display here is in clean condition, with no perceptible tears or bubbling underneath. Encircling the tail of this classic is a black R/T decal that also looks very sharp.

Climb inside and it won't take much imagination to picture yourself engaged in an epic pursuit of your own. The black vinyl interior is in great overall condition, with front buckets and a rear bench seat that show very little wear as they sit over an expanse of fresh carpeting. Between the buckets is a center console that sports a fresh woodgrain accent and puts the chrome shifter within easy reach of the driver. The assortment of factory gauges in the instrument cluster still work as intended and a supple looking, uncracked pad tops the dash area. You'll certainly have no shortage of would-be passengers eager to ride in this classic and they'll be able to do so in comfort - the Charger sports plenty of real estate between its rows of seats. Raise the deck lid and you'll find the trunk area is also quite spacious and houses a full size spare inside.

The iconic 440 big block holding court under the hood looks awesome in its sharply badged air cleaner and bright orange block and valve covers and it sits surrounded by fresh-looking hoses and properly routed wiring. This Charger comes complete with a recent dyno report to attest that its recent rebuild - performed only a little over a year ago - was done with precision and it still carries the power it did in its prime: a full 378 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, to be exact. An Edelbrock 4-barrel carb and headers have been added to maximize its output as it teams with a 3-speed automatic TorqueFlite transmission. The drivetrain is completed by a 3.55 ratio Sure Grip rear end entrusted to maintain surefootedness as the power hits the pavement. Power brakes bring this classic's set of 15" black steel wheels outfitted with Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires to prompt, low effort stops.

This 1969 Dodge Charger R/T 440 will afford some lucky enthusiast the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a truly iconic muscle car. Call today!
