1969 Dodge Charger R/T SE, ....a real XS29L9  R/T with the rare "SE" Option.

Black(X9) with Black Vinyl Roof(AO1), Tan Interior, PS, PB, Tinted Glass, Stripe Delete, Original #'s Matching 440 Magnum Engine(un-rebuilt & never been out of the Car) and 727 HD Automatic Transmission, 3.23 Geared Posi-Traction 8 3/4" Differential, all Original Sheet Metal with one repaint in 1986(Black again),and minor fix-ups back then in 1986, small town British Columbia Canada Car, never hit and very straight body with only minor rock chips. Trunk Floor, Drops, Pans, Frame Rails, Door Lips, all original and in decent shape. It Runs and Drives very well, and the original 440 Magnum can still Roast the tires at will, the Automatic shifts very crisp, no loose Steering Parts, the Brakes feel somewhat "touchy" but I think it is because they are 4 Wheel Drum power assisted ? Stops just fine though. Fender Tag is there and supports everything on the Car...although I have NOT looked for a Broadcast Sheet...no reason to believe it isn't there somewhere ? somebody will probably ask...so I guess I'll take a look, and hope I don't damage anything in the process...stay tuned.

These Cars in this condition, are getting extremely tough to find...most either rusted away to nothing, were beat to death by Hippies, got smashed or written off, and the ones still left... were either "Restored" or "Cloned" into something they were NOT...or never WILL BE.

Makes no sense to me why anybody would spend many Tens of Thousands "restoring" a lesser Charger ? or "Clone" one...... and when done...still not have either the Rarity, Factory Color Options, or Numbers present in this Original R/T SE  from new to retain it's Investment Value.    It was Family owned for decades, and was basically very well maintained, as evidenced by the original & powerful 440 "Magnum" Engine that wasn't abused, Blown up, and still doesn't smoke.      I don't know what a "Survivor" Car is ? or what qualifies as one ?....or if this can be called a "Survivor" Car...because as I said earlier it had a "repaint" and some "fix-ups" in 1986....ALL I DO KNOW....is that it is about as "close it gets" to that Survivor "status" as something that was owned, and DRIVEN, with appropriate care & regular maintenance along the way.

    The only "problems" would be the original Gas Tank will need replaced at some point ? and the Sending Unit as the gas gauge quit working ? The car did sit for a period of years, and even though it was garaged, I believe the inside of the tank is "rusty" because it was plugging up the pickup in the tank. It has a small electric pump wired under the hood to help overcome this problem, seems to work fine now and can be driven, but it is not "right" as the Car obviously deserves to be repaired properly with a New Tank & Sending Unit back on the stock pump. Both are available aftermarket.

I noticed the Right Rear Axle Seal is sweating a bit onto the backing plate, it doesn't seem to affect anything, but should be done at some point I guess ?

The Windshield Washer Reservoir has a hole in it, Never tried it, so I don't know if the pump works ? Both available aftermarket.

The Hood Mounted Turn Indicators work fine, but the plastic tangs are broken so maybe loose a bit ? They are available aftermarket.

Ask any questions and I will try and answer as best I can, or send your email for more specific photos requested.

I reserve the right to cancel this E-Bay auction at any time, if Vehicle Sold due to being listed locally outside E-Bay. 

Car can be delivered to Eureka Montana 59917 for U.S.A. Buyers, however, all export/import papers are the responsibility of the Buyer, although I will assist those efforts, .....Canadians can drive it away home.

Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.

Fort Worth Police investigating officer for using pepper spray on bikers

Tue, Mar 15 2016

A Fort Worth Police officer was placed on administrative duties after video surfaced showing him allegedly spraying pepper spray at a group of passing motorcyclists during a traffic stop over the weekend. An officer with the FWPD pulled over one of the group's chase vehicles, a red Dodge Ram, that was escorting riders in case of a crash or mechanical troubles. The video, shot from one of the motorcyclists' helmet cams, caught the FWPD officer exiting his vehicle and, before approaching the truck, spraying something into traffic at the group of riders. WFAA News 8 spoke with the men responsible for the video, Jack Kinney and Chase Stone, via Skype from Longview, TX, on March 13. "It's the last thing I would expect to see," Kinney told the station. "His intent was to hit the bikers for sure, there's no doubt about it," said Stone. "His intent was to send somebody down, if not to cause a major accident with that spray". As the video went viral, receiving more than 200,000 views in 15 hours, people shared videos showing the group of motorcyclists riding in an irresponsible manner through traffic right before the alleged pepper spray incident. Fort Worth Police say they received numerous calls about the pack of riders from motorists on surrounding highways, with complaints ranging from weaving in and out of lanes to popping wheelies through traffic at high speed. News 8 asked Kinney and Stone if it was possible that the officer felt threatened. "If you're worried about safety, why would you pepper spray a large group of bikers like that?" asked Kinney. The Dallas Morning News identified the officer as W. Figueroa. Worth Police released an official statement about the incident late on the afternoon of March 13. They stated that the officer in question, a six-year FWPD veteran, had been relieved of his patrol duties and placed on desk duty pending the investigation. FWPD Corporal Tracey Knight also made a statement indicating that pepper-spraying drivers in oncoming traffic is not a department-sanctioned tactic.

Killing the Dart and 200 might lower FCA's fuel economy burden

Tue, Feb 9 2016

Killing the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 could allow FCA US to take advantage of an intriguing quirk in the next decade's fuel economy regulations. By increasing its ratio of trucks versus cars, the automaker might not need to worry so much about hitting the more stringent efficiency rules. At first thought, it might seem harder for an automaker with a ton of trucks to meet the government's mandated 54.5 mile per gallon corporate average fuel economy for 2025. However, every company doesn't need to hit that lofty figure, according to The Detroit Free Press. The exact target varies by the product mix between trucks and cars. "While passenger car and light truck categories have separate CAFE targets, it's still true that more trucks versus cars in a company lineup means a lower combined CAFE target," Brandon Schoettle, Project Manager Sustainable Worldwide Transportation at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute, told Autoblog. "While passenger car and light truck categories have separate CAFE targets, it's still true that more trucks versus cars in a company lineup means a lower combined CAFE target." FCA US' current product blend has 80 percent pickups and CUVs, which means the company stands to benefit from a lower fuel economy target. It might not seem entirely fair environmentally, but this is a great move from a business perspective. The new CAFE rules aren't set in stone, according to The Detroit Free Press, but potentially taking advantage of the regulation is just one more reason to cut the Dart and 200. Modern crossovers also aren't gas guzzlers like older SUVs, which could make it easier to hit the fuel economy target. "Utilities offer practicality and versatility that cars do not, and now, built on car architectures, they do not penalize consumers on fuel economy as they once did," AutoTrader Senior Analyst Michelle Krebs told Autoblog. Schoettle warns that FCA is still making a gamble by killing the small sedans. "Depending on the previous sales volumes and how much these vehicles might have exceeded their specific CAFE targets, it's possible that these cars helped earn CAFE credits for FCA that they could bank for future use," he said.
