1969 Dodge Charger

Description

The 1968 – 1970 Dodge Charger is arguably the best looking muscle car to ever come out of Detroit. Today they are one of the most sought after muscle cars on the planet. The iconic 1969 Dodge Charger has been showcased in numerous TV shows and films, such as Dirty Mary Crazy Larry, DeathProof, Drive Angry, and of course the infamous General Lee in The Dukes of Hazzard.
Now is your chance to own this super stunning, 1969 DodgeCharger restomod. A two-time magazine feature car, has also been signed by Chip Foose & Chris Jacobs of the hit TV show Overhaulin’.
It was featured in a Dodge Showcase in Carlisle, PA with an interview by automotive historian Steve Magnante, and displayed by Silver Sport Transmissions to highlight their overdrive transmission products. This is one high-profile ’69 Charger.
This particular Charger was born in 1969 as an original big-block base model Charger. When found decades later, commonly most of its originality had been lost, which lent itself as the perfect starting platform to be reborn as a restomod. An in-depth restoration was performed, both cosmetically & mechanically. This Charger still retains all original Mopar bolt-on sheetmetal. It’s mechanical components are all new, rebuilt, or upgraded. It is now motivated by a powerful 440 engine topped with a ProMax 6-pack, backed by a Kiesler/Silver Sport Stage2 automatic overdrive transmission. This puts the power to the BF Goodrich KDW2tires mounted on polished Foose Challenger wheels via a 3:91 Sure Grip rear end, making this one right at home on the street or on the highway. The straight body lines & Coke-bottle styling pops with the FJ5 Sublime Green paint, and custom painted “V21” hood treatment with pearl white 440 callouts makes no mistake what’s under the hood. The “flying buttress” roofline is accented by the black vinyl top, which compliments the dove white custom interior, all kept cool by a Classic Auto Air A/C system. A black R/T bumblebee stripe out back ties it all together. For sounds there is a full TTI exhaust system with polished headers & Dynomax mufflers. Or, crank up the stereo which consists of a Secret Audio head unit, 6 Alpine cabin speakers, 2 Alpine subs in custom enclosures in the trunk, powered by 2 independent Alpine amps.
The Charger currently shows just under 3800 miles since completion. Sale will include car cover, all paperwork/documentation, and copies of any magazine feature articles.
