Up for sale is a numbers matching, 1969 Dodge Charger R/T, 440 4-speed Dana 60. This car sold new in Evansville Indiana at Vandeveer Dodge. It was driven a mere 24,000 miles before being parked in 1974. Known collector & reproduction parts vendor Ron Fellwock purchased the car from the original owner in the 70’s and never drove it because the transmission wouldn’t go into gear. It was parked outside next to many others Ron had purchased, mainly for parts research. In 1988, it was purchased by another Evansville resident, pulled out of the field, and parked inside where it again sat for many years. A two year thorough restoration was completed in 2013 by Jacobs Restoration. Since the restoration, it has been driven several hundred miles to local shows and weekend cruises.
