Hello Everyone,
I have been using this site for years now and finally signed up because I am taking my 1969 Charger out of storage since moving out of our apartment and into a home with a large garage. Can't wait to work on it.
Been working on cars my whole life and I am tired of all the drivetrain, body, paint, fix up/clean up and then selling it at a big loss. Now that I am old(er) I decided to buy a car that needs nothing in terms of paint/clean up and has a decent amount of features and I can then modify from there without having to look at it and say "need this, need that" every time I go into the garage.
I'll add a few of my own pics, but I don't have many since I like to scroll through the 100+ pics and video the dealer made about 4 years ago. I am surprised the link is still there. I hope you also enjoy them.
Keep in mind, this looks like a trailer queen but I do drive it when then temp is under 85 F in AZ. Otherwise, it overheats. Needs work... It is pretty fast and the 440 seems built to a degree since it does have a lopey cam. No clue what else is in there and I need to find out.
Some purists are going to snub it because it was a 383 base model, not an RT and has extensive non-standard mods. It lost its VIN about 25 years ago and has had an AZ VIN since, but it is a true AZ car
Here's the link to the dealer pics:
1969 Dodge Charger
There are some spec.'s on the car listed in the link.
A real mystery machine since I know nothing about the engine. I can't even set the timing right since the TDC on the balancer is totally incorrect.
Here are my pic's now that I moved into a house:
To date I have blacked out the taillight area and replaced a few things including the radiator, fan and shroud. (Still overheats.)
Working on getting the garage work area up and running.
