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! |

2015 Dodge Charger priced from $27,995, Hellcat from $63,995*
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Ladies and gentlemen, let's get the most salient bit of information out of the way right off the bat: $63,995*. That's the amount of money Dodge dealers will be asking for (at the very least, naturally) for a 2015 Charger Hellcat (*plus $995 for destination on all pricing figures). That rather reasonable sum will bring home its buyer a 6.2-liter Hemi V8 engine boasting a supercharger to post such gaudy figures as 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, leading to a top speed of 204 miles per hour to go along with an NHRA-certified quarter-mile time of 11.0 seconds.
With that out of the way, the rest of the 2015 Dodge Charger pricing information breaks down as follows: $27,995 will deliver a sedan with a 292-horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Moving up one step of the ladder nets the buyer an SXT model with the same engine, but a nicer chunk of technology and optional equipment for a $2,000 premium. All-wheel drive adds another $3,000. Hemi V8-powered R/T models now boast an eight-speed transmission bolted to the same well-loved 370-horsepower engine as before, for a base price of $32,995.
The SRT 392 model that had hitherto been the top-performing Charger brings with it an asking price of $47,385 while bargain hunters can equip a Charger R/T Scat Pack machine with that same 485-horsepower 6.4-liter Hemi, albeit with somewhat less posh interior bits and pieces, the removal of the 392's adjustable suspension and hi-po wheel and tire package for $39,995.
FCA updates 700k-vehicle recall to replace ignition switches
Mon, Mar 9 2015FCA US is revising a previously announced recall of 702,578 minivans and SUVs; now specifying that owners replace their ignition switches, rather than just a component. The campaign affects the 2008-2010 Chrysler Town & Country, 2008-2010 Dodge Grand Caravan and 2009-2010 Dodge Journey. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration initially opened an investigation last summer following complaints about the ignition switches in these models. FCA US (then Chrysler Group) responded with a recall of 695,957 examples of these vehicles because the key could appear to be in the "Run" position but not be fully engaged. If it slipped out, and there was an accident, then the airbags might not deploy. The company had initially planned to install a new detent ring to fix the problem. According to the timeline in a NHTSA document (available here as a PDF), the government agency and FCA US continued their research into the problem. The automaker found that the time needed to create a new ring design and updated software would be longer than replacing the whole ignition switch. The company worked with the supplier Marquardt to negotiate an accelerated schedule to manufacture the extra replacement parts. According to NHTSA, the investigation has now been closed because of FCA's recall. Company spokesperson Eric Mayne confirms to Autoblog via email, "No additional vehicles are affected and all affected customers have already been made aware their vehicles are subject to recall." FCA US sent out an initial notification advising owners of the problem in September 2014. The company will now send out a second letter in April and will replace the parts in two phases. Repairs for affected models from the 2008 and 2009 model years will begin in April, and 2010 examples will start being fixed in August. RECALL Subject : Ignition Switch may Turn Off , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: JUN 26, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V373000 Component(s): AIR BAGS , ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Potential Number of Units Affected: 702,578 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY 2008-2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN 2008-2010 DODGE JOURNEY 2009-2010 Details Manufacturer: Chrysler Group LLC SUMMARY: This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key.
Does the future of Fiat-Chrysler include Dodge?
Thu, 13 Jun 2013Wards Auto reports the future of Dodge is looking uncertain. Fiat has more or less laid out it's game plan for the next few years, and while the Chrysler, Fiat and Jeep lines are set to receive plenty of love, Dodge isn't so lucky. Fiat has already hobbled Dodge significantly by splitting off the brand's trucks into a separate Ram line.
Wards says that after the Avenger rides off into the sunset early next year, Fiat-Chrysler won't replace the model, leaving a gaping midsize hole in the Dodge lineup. The report also cites unnamed sources as saying that at least two other current Dodge products will move to the Chrysler line.
One of those could very well be the Grand Caravan. Chrysler has already made it clear that it plans to trim redundancy between its minivan offerings, but it has yet to clarify which other vehicle could sail under the Chrysler banner moving forward. Either way, such changes to the product line would theoretically leave Dodge with just four models.
