Looking to Buy a 1969 Charger

[The Rebel]

Hey guys. I'm looking to buy a 69 Charger, 383-4 & looking for any tips from any classic car owners things I need to consider. Would love to have a Gen. Lee version.

Thanks in advance,
Roger

Here's one I used to have. Sold it in 1979 to pay for my first child, no insurance then. RT/SE, 383 Magnum out of a '68 Roadrunner, 4 speed, 4.10 posi, I built the engine a little more, with an Edelbrock Torker, Holley, Crane Fireball Cam, milled the heads .040, dual point distributor.

Best car I ever had. '69 Dodge Coronet bored out to 480, with a crossram fitted with two 1100 Hollies, and a three-speed automatic. Chirped in all Three Gears!

My brother has a 67 Hemi GTX with two fours plus 4 on the floor - it is built, has to use racing fuel, he's looking to sell.

Well, you guys that had those cars, just remember them. Don't buy another one or you'll end up like me, old with a cat for a companion. For you Rebel, spend money on education, the family or a relationship. As daddy used to say, "son, an old car is still an old car". We all had classics and I had several. Notice the nostalgia here because most of us got tired of them and sold them. Besides, starting with a new Tesla or a Ford GT, or even a Cobra kit, there is always a quicker car, a faster horse and a prettier woman out there...

A straight body and a rust free car are the keys. Start with that and your halfway home. Everything else can be replaced or rebuilt. But a rusty car or one that's been in a serious accident is a money pit. It will empty your bank account and kill your interest in restoring it.

Wish I could help you, because that would mean that I had a '69 Charger ... alas, all I had was the '69 Road Runner (383 magnum) and '69 GTX (replaced the 440 with a 383 I built).

Lots of fun them Mopars!!!

 

[bottlebum]

Let me know if you happen to run across a '73 Cuda, during your search.

Now that is a beautiful car!

Average value of a '69 Dodge Charger equipped with only the 318 2bl is $26,000.

Mopar or no car...
No car

Good luck on your search, seriously.

Here are pictures of the 67 Hemi GTX sitting in my garage.



Do any of you know what the RO23 program package was at Chrysler?

I bid $5k

that is what a muscle car should look like

 

[67GTX]

Is that 5 dollars worth of kippers? Hummm... My wife likes fish... She is Chinese. Oh, DeepseekerADS is my brother, although he doesn't claim me at times. I'm the wild one in the family.

The night my brother came home from Vietnam, I took him for a ride in my 70 Dodge Super Bee. We were coming down the road at 135 MPH when the radiator hose blew off the radiator. In less than a second the engine shut down, a white sheet of coolant covered my entire windshield and the car began to swerve in the road because I couldn't see. Bro was calling me all kinds of SOB and cursing my children for a thousand generations.

However, the moment I thought the engine had blown I pushed in the clutch pedal, turned the windshield wipers on and rolled my side window down. I stuck my head out the window so I could see and I got control of the car. We drifted about a mile to a service station and rolled up in front of it just as the car was coming to a stop anyway. Looking under the hood and putting the hose back in place, we were off again. My children are still cursed for a thousand generations.

 

[Peyton Manning]

well he is a good guy so you must have a few good genes

 

[67GTX]

Well, those genes must be well hidden. They may have learned from the military camouflage training. I blend into the background well. Can't get the smirk off my face, though. Dad said to always watch out for the quiet guys in the background. But my brother would say that it is not likely that I would be quiet. And he may wish that I, sometimes, was a lot further back into the background. I know he will read this. So, I'm teasing him.

Funny, I nearly was killed by my 1970 440/ 727 GTX. Alternator went bonkers, battery blew up and it all went dark. I woke up 10 days later, and spent 2 years learning to walk again. Found I had taken out 250' of guardrail, hit a cement culvert head on, then slid across the road and broadsided a tree. And no I wasn't speeding.

To this day all I remember is walking out to the car that night, then waking up in ICU. I broke a couple of toes, left leg 4 compound fractures, tore my knee loose, broken pelvis, broken back, broke 3 ribs, punctured lung, internal injuries, broke my jaw in four places, shattered both cheek bones, knocked both eyes out of the sockets, fractured skull, concussion, more bruises and cuts and abrasions they I can list. Received Last Rites twice.

Might be a bad thing tha tI don't remember it, I got this itch to build again. Thinking a 68 Hemi Dart clone.
