I saw it today (2/16/25) and am eager to see it again 2/17.
It's very well done. There's a lot of current interview footage that can get dry but the editing around the interviews as well as the concert footage from 69/70 are well worth seeing.
If you see it, watch the the reactions of the...
Do we see the timing issue? September assembly date with a November Casting.
wow, that's a lot of engines Let's do the math. 2,000 assemblies a day X say five days a week and 52 weeks (260) days of production = 520,000 assemblies for a company that needed millions of engines. It would need to...
Not weird at all. Pretty much a block is a block is a block. It's the components that make it model year specific.
This particular block got cast, put in inventory, didn't get used for MY '71, sat for ~ five months and pulled out when they began to assemble engines for '72.
Thanks for the tag info. The code would be G33 not C33.
I've tracked '69 convertibles for over 20 years and have had that VIN on file for a long time, but I have not seen anything else on the car.
I agree. I don't think the term 'desirable' was necessarily appropriate. I was echoing the term from a previous post. It reflects strength of personal choice.
I think the market tells us that between two comparably equipped '67 and 68s' the '68's will sell for more. That may not equal desirability.
There were fewer R/T convertibles made in four years (1,976) than there were 69 Road Runner convertibles made in one year (2,128). R/T convertibles are not common.
The 22" radiator was standard 68-70 meaning most this is what most R/Ts had. Ordering a/c, trailer towing or an axle pacage that...
This picture represents the format and layout used at plants other than the Jefferson and Lynch Road plants beginning in 1970.
It is not the format used for '69 Chargers at either the Hamtramck or St. Louis plant.
There are numerous 69 tag decoders on line. Some are mostly accurate some are...

Here's the comparison of A14 and A15 packages for Satellites and Road Runners from window stickers.
Please remember the RM27 would come standard with the belt molding so that's why it's not listed in the package.
I read somewhere that X was not used in VINs until 69. Not true. 66-70 for the Charger.
Also read that radiator support and trunk lip partials were not done until 69. Also not true
68 radiator stamping;
Lots of people can and will make a fender tag. The question is how much accuracy is important to you.
MOST of the vendors, and some will probably be mentioned in this thread, can stamp codes into a piece of metal and call it good. You'll pay a couple of hundred of dollars for what you may or...
