Are the rear seat belts from a 69 Coronet 4 door the same to a 2 door b body or Charger or does a 4 door Coronet have the retractable belts by the rear doors like the fronts? Thanks.

Ive been wondering about this too. Long ago in high school when I bought my 69 Charger, it had no ash tray. I went to the local salvage yard and bought an ash tray door out of a base 69 Coronet because it was tan in color like my interior. Fit just fine. Didnt even consider the 68 Charger they...

The Russian fuel filters are now Chinese. Same part number.

I think letting a guy drive it is ok with owner in the passenger seat. Two buddies show up and want to take it? No way. I sold my last two R/Ts with the buyers refusing to drive them because it was raining both times. The seller holds all the cars and dictates the terms of the sale or shove off.

Correct 68 Bees had stickers. No bee emblems anywhere on car.

Besides the 70 Charger are there any other known surviving Dick Landy cars?

I usually buy Wix plastic fuel filters that I like and were made in Russia but now the same part number comes in the filter is smaller and made in China. For oil filters Ive had several Bosch 3500s I bought years ago. Seem to keep the 383 alive for now. Made in USA.

My old January spd 69 RT SE had the tall bumper brackets and they were marked L and H. I just looked at my July 69 Spd car and it has two rights on it. Never noticed that.

A friend of mine fixed a 68 Bee burned worse than that and the VIN plate and keys didnt melt in the fire, the steering column and and ignition lock melted away. The car fixed up just fine after a roof skin, doors and hood.

I bought a Lares power box for my D100 when I switched from manual to power and am please with it. No leaks or problems. No experience with a Cardone. Ive resealed the top half of my factory 68 Charger box and it was fairly easy but havnt tested it yet.

My 69 with MP ignition used to do that, produce no spark intermittently. Its been a long time ago and this might not make sense, but I remember pushing on the one bolted on wire on the alternator hard enough to turn the post in the alternator slightly and the car would start. Like I said, its...

I still have mine I drove on the last day of high school in 1995. Still looks the same. This was my 3rd Charger by then. 1995 to 2024 is a longer amount of time than 1969 to 1995. Eeek.

If you see or have one for sale post it up and ill take a look. Id rather buy a nice one if one available vs welding/ floating filler on mine.

Im looking to buy an original 68 b body 383-440 passenger side valve cover in nice shape. This is the one with the heater hose bracket on top and nothing on the exhaust manifold side. No heavily rusted pitted/ dented ones I already have that. I have a good driver side one but will consider a...

Just last May I drove our old 94 Suburban spare car to the U Pull U Pay and got $625 for it. It was rusty, moldy, seat belts wouldnt retract etc. Didnt want the liability of selling it to someone. Plus after 10 years of using it sparingly, I was tired of looking at it.
