Up for sale is a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T. This is an ACTUAL R/T, NOT a small block 318 Charger that someone stuck a 1977 Winnebago 440 in and slapped R/T badging on. This car has been confirmed by MMC Detroit to be an original 1969 Charger R/T. The partial VIN number was located on the radiator support and the drivers side trunk lid (see photos below). Also see pictures of the original fender tag along with the replica tag that was created by MMC Detroit after the car was confirmed to be an actual 1969 Charger R/T. This Dodge Charger R/T was built on Monday, December 30th, 1968 at the Hamtramck Assembly Plant in Hamtramck, Michigan. The car rolled out of the factory with the following options which are confirmed by the Fender Tag breakdown:
The entire drive line is date correct. This means that the engine and transmission do not match the VIN number but they are out of another 1969 Charger. The engine is an HP Block out of another 1969 Charger R/T as it is correctly stamped E440 HP which can also be seen in the photos. This engine block actually came from the same factory as the original one as the first two letters of the partial VIN on the block is 9B meaning that it is for a 1969 E Series and it was built in the Hamtramck, Michigan plant.
The E440 HP engine has been completely rebuilt and upgraded. The upgrades to the motor include being bored .30 over, hardened valve seats for the heads, flat top TRW Forged Pistons, and Lunati Cam. The points distributor has been replaced with a MSD system and Street Fire wires. The 26 inch radiator has been upgraded to an aluminum 26 radiator and shroud combination with dual 12 fans. The oil pan has been upgraded to a 7 quart Milodon with a high volume oil pump. The carburetor has been upgraded to a Holley Ultra Performance 750 Double Pumper with Black anodized billet aluminum metering blocks and base plate with black hardware. The intake is an aluminum Edelbrock Torker II. Also added to the build was a new pair of Hooker Headers. The entire exhaust system is a new TTI system from the headers all the way through the correct stainless steel exhaust tips.
The 1969 Big Block 727 Transmission has been completely rebuilt. The torque converter has been replaced with a 2800 stall convertor to match up correctly with the Lunati Cam. Every part of this drive train was thought out prior to purchasing any parts and all professional suggestions were taken into account to make sure that all the parts complimented each other so the car would run at its maximum potential.
The center section is a completely rebuilt 1968 489 case with 3.55 Posi-traction gears which is what the car came with originally. The posi unit has been upgraded from the cone style to the clutch style for more durability and strength. The drive shaft has been balanced and the U-Joints have been replaced. The entire brake system has been replaced. The car came factory with power front disc brakes and rear drums. The brake booster and master cylinder has been upgraded to a Hydro Brake Boost system which increases braking power and stopping ability. This brake system is unbelievable. This car stops better than any new car I've ever driven. All the brake lines have been replaced and the rear drums are new.
The front wheel bearings and rear axle bearing have been replaced. All four shocks are new and the rear shocks are air equipped so the rear height can be adjusted if need be. The rims and tires are brand new. The front rims are 15x7 Chrysler Steel Wheels and are wrapped in BF Goodrich Tires. The rear rims are 15x10 Chrysler Steel Wheels and are wrapped in 295/50/15 BF Goodrich Tires. This is as wide as you can go in the rear of these cars without making any adjustments or running tubed tires. It gives the car an amazing stance and great traction while driving.
All the lights and gauges work including the hood mounted turn signal indicators and the hideaway headlights. Both headlight actuators have been replaced and I will include a spare rebuilt actuator with the sale for the new owner to have. The entire interior is new. The dash is like brand new and has been powder coated black to ensure durability. The gauges are in great shape. The carpet is brand new. The seats have been upholstered in the correct covers. The steering wheel is correct to the car and the horn works properly. The radio is in great shape. There is power to the radio but I do not have any speakers hooked up to it as I do not care to listen to the radio, I'd much rather listen to the car. The headliner is also brand new. All the interior lights work including the center console light that turns on when you open the doors.
The body of the car is rust free. The previous owner had a new trunk floor put in and also a drivers side floor partial as you can see from the underside shot of the car. I took a true undercarriage picture of the car. Most people who sell these cars load up the undercarriage with undercoat spray to mask or hide imperfections in the undercarriage. I left it alone and you can see the spot where the floor was repaired and you can see how solid the car is. The only rust that is there is some very minor surface rust which is to be expected on a 45 year old car.
The original color of the car is T5 Copper Metallic. The previous owner painted it black. When I scraped the trunk lid lip to get the partial vin code you can see the original color underneath the black. According to the previous owner the color change to black was the only paint job this car ever saw. I am pretty particular about paint and body work and I would give this paint job a 7 out of 10. It could have seen some better block and sanding work. Of course, every imperfection in the body work is magnified by 100 when you're dealing with a black car. That said, this car is a hell of a driver. It will turn heads everywhere you go and from 10 feet away you would say it was mint.
Minor Issues: The bumpers are driver quality but could use a re-chroming. They are in great shape and would be a great candidate to be sent out and made like new. The only mechanical issue is a very minor leak in the steering box which made itself known after the build was done. This leak does not effect anything in how the car drives and can be repaired if the new owner chooses to do so. Other than that the car is good to go. There is a reserve set on this car and it is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early should it sell before the auction ends. My reserve is EXTREMELY reasonable considering the rarity of this car and how well it is rebuilt. I have watched two other 1969 R/T's with date correct drive lines sell in excess of $50,000. These two were the exact same options as this car as in a 440 with a 727 transmission. This car is rebuilt mechanically front to back and with the reserve set where it is the new owner will be getting an ACTUAL 1969 R/T for a great price. This car will bring joy and many good memories to the new owner for many years to come. Before you ask, I am selling the car to fund a Mustang Cobra Jet 4-speed car I have just acquired. If I didn't have that I wouldn't be selling.
TERMS OF THE AUCTION: This is a binding contract. The winning bidder will pay a non-refundable $500.00 deposit within 24 hours of the auction's end and full payment will be received within 7 days of the auctions end. This payment will be made with cash or a wire transfer unless another form of payment is agreed upon beforehand. If you have negative feedback do not bid, I will just cancel it. Only bid if you have the finances available. These auctions cost money to run and I do not have time for dreamers or people who aren't serious about buying the car. As you can tell from my feedback I am a trusted E-Bayer and I go above and beyond for the people I deal with. I have sold several cars on here and have done everything in my power to make the buying experience pleasant for the buyer. My e-mail is synced to my cell phone so I will receive any questions when you send them and I will reply promptly. If you wish to contact me personally you can call me at 315-868-7452. I will entertain offers prior to the auctions end. I may be interested in partial trades but it is going to have to be something really nice with cash on top. The car is being sold as is, where is. I will assist with shipping in any way I can. Please feel free to ask any questions or call me. Happy bidding. The winner will not be disappointed!
On May-26-14 at 04:01:40 PDT, seller added the following information: Couple of things to add... The Redline Dog Dish hubcaps are the original Stainless Steel not the cheap aluminum aftermarket ones. They are in great shape for their age. Also, I have hundreds of pictures of this car but eBay only allows me to post 24. I will be adding a photo of the original and duplicated fender tag as I have already been asked for a photo of this by a prospective buyer. If you want to see something on the car please don't hesitate to ask. I will gladly send any photo to an interested buyer. Thanks for your interest! |

2018 Dodge Durango GT Rallye gets Charger and Viper-inspired styling
Tue, Apr 10 2018The third-generation Dodge Durango has been on sale since 2011. Essentially a long-wheelbase Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Durango's styling draws a lot of influence from cars like the Dodge Charger and Challenger. For 2018, the three-row SUV will be available with an optional GT Rallye appearance package. Think of this as a V6 model with the face from the more powerful Durango R/T. The appearance package is a $1,495 option on the mid-range Durango GT and is only available for a limited time. Like the R/T, the GT Rallye's front fascia is heavily inspired by the Dodge Charger Daytona. It ditches the standard crosshair design for a slim mesh grille, and adds a Viper-inspired hood scoop and vent. It also gets LED fog lights. The GT Rallye is available in both rear- and all-wheel drive. Customers can also add the Blacktop package and Brass Monkey wheels. Mechanically, nothing changes. The Durango GT Rallye is still powered by the 295-horsepower 3.6-liter V6. The Durango GT starts at $38,990. Related Video: Design/Style Dodge SUV
Made in America | These cars top the most-American list
Mon, Dec 5 2022The car with the most American/Canadian content for 2022 is ... cue the drumroll ... the Lincoln Corsair, in both standard gasoline-fueled and plug-in hybrid guise. Both versions of Lincoln's compact luxury crossover earned a score of 86 due to 72% of its parts coming from one of the two aforementioned countries Β in the American University Kogod Business School's annual "Made in America Auto Index." Last year's leader, the 2021 Ford Mustang GT (when equipped with a manual transmission) fell all the way to 22nd place with a 50% rating due to a switch in transmissions sourced from Mexico. In case you're interested, that puts Ford's red-blooded American ponycar below vehicles like the Kia Sorento, Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class SUV and Lexus ES. If you're wondering how an American car that's assembled within the borders of the United States could rank below a model from a Korean, German or Japanese automaker, well, we'll let Kogod explain: "The components of the index are based on research performed by the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor Michigan regarding the economic value of different components of auto manufacturing. For example, the highest ranked cars are made by U.S.-based manufacturers using American engines and transmissions, and with a high AALA percentage of U.S. and Canadian parts." There are 25 total vehicles listed in the Top 10 (there are lots of ties this year). Here's the full list: (1) Lincoln Corsair: 86 (1) Lincoln Corsair PHEV: 86 (2) Tesla Model 3 Long Range: 82.5 (3) Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray: 81 (4) Chevrolet Colorado: 80.5 (5) Jeep Cherokee Latitude 4x4: 80 (5) Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk: 80 (5) Tesla Model 3 Performance: 80 (5) Tesla Model Y: 80 (6) Dodge Durango Citadel: 79.5 (6) Dodge Durango Blacktop AWD: 79.5 (7) Honda Passport Trailsport: 78.5 (8) Ford F-150 2.7L, 3.3L, 5.0L: 77.5 (8) Ford Ranger: 77.5 (8) Ford Bronco automatic: 77.5 (8) Tesla Model S: 77.5 (8) Tesla Model X: 77.5 (9) Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 3.6L: 77 (9) Jeep Grand Cherokee L LTD: 77 (9) Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 3.6L: 77 (9) Chevrolet Camaro automatic: 77 (10) Honda Odyssey: 76 (10) Honda Ridgeline: 76 (10) Honda Pilot: 76 There's a whole long list of reasons for the above scores, with seven criteria that include factory location, headquarters location and where its various bits and pieces come from.
The Dodge Challenger plays its trump card: all-wheel drive
Wed, Dec 7 2016Perennially stuck in third place behind the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro in sales and enthusiast comparisons, the Dodge Challenger is doing something unconventional for a muscle couple. It's adding all-wheel drive. It's a new feature for Detroit's pony cars none of the three have ever had it Β and it could be a game-changer. Called the Challenger GT, the Dodge launches this winter for a starting price of $34,490. The Challenger GT comes with the Pentastar 3.6-liter V6 rated at 305 horsepower and 268 pound-feet of torque. It teams with an eight-speed TorqueFlight automatic transmission and is estimated to get 18 miles per gallon in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. An FCA spokesperson said no manual transmission or V8 models will be offered on the all-wheel-drive Challenger. It will be on display in January at the Detroit auto show. View 8 Photos All-wheel drive is a widely expected addition for the Challenger. The coupe shares underpinnings with the four-door Charger, which offers an all-wheel drive variant and the cars have similar powertrain offerings (the AWD Charger is also V6 and automatic only). Naturally, the Challenger borrows the Charger's AWD system and during regular driving conditions, the front axle disengages and full torque goes to the back wheels, allowing the Challenger to function as a rear-wheel drive car. It automatically goes back to AWD when more traction is needed. Handling is also fortified with a vehicle dynamic control system. Conversely, the electronic stability control has three modes and can be switched off for drift-happy enthusiasts. The GT has features familiar to other Challenger and Dodge owners, including an 8.4-inch touchscreen radio, Performance Pages (accessible through the Super Trak Pack button), and paddle shifters. A Sport Mode changes shift points to improve acceleration. It all rolls on 19-inch wheels wrapped in all-season rubber. The exterior gets a hood bulge, LED head- and taillights, and a decklid spoiler. The Challenger GT also offers a $995-interior package different than RWD models, adding Nappa leather, Alcantara suede seats, a nine-speaker Alpine audio system, performance steering wheel, and more. All of that is just window dressing. It's all-wheel drive that could be a difference-maker for consumers. The Challenger won't likely be able to take down the Mustang, which will finish 2016 as the pony car sales king.
