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.

Dodge Vipers selling for $480k in China

Wed, Apr 29 2015

Want to get your hands on a new Dodge Viper? Be prepared to pay dearly. It starts at nearly $90k here in the US, but that's nothing compared to what you'd have to pay for one if you lived in, say, China. CarsNewsChina.com reports on one Viper available in Beijing for an eye-watering 298 million yuan – equivalent to about $480,000 at today's exchange rates and representing more than a 500-percent markup. Part of that premium comes down to the Chinese tax code that charges a reported 60 percent for anything with an engine displacing over four liters. And the Viper's, we needn't remind you, is more than twice that. It naturally costs some to import a car to China as well, but most of the rest is pure profit. The Beijing dealership reportedly gets the cars from dealers in California, has already sold three and plans to import several more. The dealer can also get you (or wealthy Chinese individuals) a Corvette Stingray for a comparatively cheap 1.73 million yuan (or $280k). Related Video:

1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.

Custom 2014 Dodge Durango R/T proves SEMA can be subtle

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

The annual SEMA Show in Las Vegas can often be a sensory overload of overwrought madness, with cars that don't even look drivable anymore. But every once in a while, a modestly modified show car graces our presence, like the customized Dodge Durango you see here, which, in addition to giving us our first glimpse at the aftermarket possibilities for the refreshed-for-2014 model, proves that a car doesn't have to be slammed, scooped, donked and Lambo-doored to have presence.
Sure, this Durango has custom hood inserts, dark 22-inch wheels and custom fender flares, but as far as external modifications go, that's it. Inside, Dodge has fitted new door sill guards, an ambient lighting kit, bright pedals, premium floor mats and - of course - Katzkin leather. The automaker has even added wireless internet connectivity as part of the excellent Uconnect infotainment system.
Performance upgrades are minimal on this Durango R/T, which comes packed with Chrysler's 5.7-liter Hemi V8. Larger brakes have been fitted, as have lowering springs (though it certainly doesn't look that much lower) and a custom exhaust.
