Up for sale is a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T. This is an ACTUAL R/T, NOT a small block 318 Charger that someone stuck a 1977 Winnebago 440 in and slapped R/T badging on. This car has been confirmed by MMC Detroit to be an original 1969 Charger R/T. The partial VIN number was located on the radiator support and the drivers side trunk lid (see photos below). Also see pictures of the original fender tag along with the replica tag that was created by MMC Detroit after the car was confirmed to be an actual 1969 Charger R/T. This Dodge Charger R/T was built on Monday, December 30th, 1968 at the Hamtramck Assembly Plant in Hamtramck, Michigan. The car rolled out of the factory with the following options which are confirmed by the Fender Tag breakdown:
The entire drive line is date correct. This means that the engine and transmission do not match the VIN number but they are out of another 1969 Charger. The engine is an HP Block out of another 1969 Charger R/T as it is correctly stamped E440 HP which can also be seen in the photos. This engine block actually came from the same factory as the original one as the first two letters of the partial VIN on the block is 9B meaning that it is for a 1969 E Series and it was built in the Hamtramck, Michigan plant.
The E440 HP engine has been completely rebuilt and upgraded. The upgrades to the motor include being bored .30 over, hardened valve seats for the heads, flat top TRW Forged Pistons, and Lunati Cam. The points distributor has been replaced with a MSD system and Street Fire wires. The 26 inch radiator has been upgraded to an aluminum 26 radiator and shroud combination with dual 12 fans. The oil pan has been upgraded to a 7 quart Milodon with a high volume oil pump. The carburetor has been upgraded to a Holley Ultra Performance 750 Double Pumper with Black anodized billet aluminum metering blocks and base plate with black hardware. The intake is an aluminum Edelbrock Torker II. Also added to the build was a new pair of Hooker Headers. The entire exhaust system is a new TTI system from the headers all the way through the correct stainless steel exhaust tips.
The 1969 Big Block 727 Transmission has been completely rebuilt. The torque converter has been replaced with a 2800 stall convertor to match up correctly with the Lunati Cam. Every part of this drive train was thought out prior to purchasing any parts and all professional suggestions were taken into account to make sure that all the parts complimented each other so the car would run at its maximum potential.
The center section is a completely rebuilt 1968 489 case with 3.55 Posi-traction gears which is what the car came with originally. The posi unit has been upgraded from the cone style to the clutch style for more durability and strength. The drive shaft has been balanced and the U-Joints have been replaced. The entire brake system has been replaced. The car came factory with power front disc brakes and rear drums. The brake booster and master cylinder has been upgraded to a Hydro Brake Boost system which increases braking power and stopping ability. This brake system is unbelievable. This car stops better than any new car I've ever driven. All the brake lines have been replaced and the rear drums are new.
The front wheel bearings and rear axle bearing have been replaced. All four shocks are new and the rear shocks are air equipped so the rear height can be adjusted if need be. The rims and tires are brand new. The front rims are 15x7 Chrysler Steel Wheels and are wrapped in BF Goodrich Tires. The rear rims are 15x10 Chrysler Steel Wheels and are wrapped in 295/50/15 BF Goodrich Tires. This is as wide as you can go in the rear of these cars without making any adjustments or running tubed tires. It gives the car an amazing stance and great traction while driving.
All the lights and gauges work including the hood mounted turn signal indicators and the hideaway headlights. Both headlight actuators have been replaced and I will include a spare rebuilt actuator with the sale for the new owner to have. The entire interior is new. The dash is like brand new and has been powder coated black to ensure durability. The gauges are in great shape. The carpet is brand new. The seats have been upholstered in the correct covers. The steering wheel is correct to the car and the horn works properly. The radio is in great shape. There is power to the radio but I do not have any speakers hooked up to it as I do not care to listen to the radio, I'd much rather listen to the car. The headliner is also brand new. All the interior lights work including the center console light that turns on when you open the doors.
The body of the car is rust free. The previous owner had a new trunk floor put in and also a drivers side floor partial as you can see from the underside shot of the car. I took a true undercarriage picture of the car. Most people who sell these cars load up the undercarriage with undercoat spray to mask or hide imperfections in the undercarriage. I left it alone and you can see the spot where the floor was repaired and you can see how solid the car is. The only rust that is there is some very minor surface rust which is to be expected on a 45 year old car.
The original color of the car is T5 Copper Metallic. The previous owner painted it black. When I scraped the trunk lid lip to get the partial vin code you can see the original color underneath the black. According to the previous owner the color change to black was the only paint job this car ever saw. I am pretty particular about paint and body work and I would give this paint job a 7 out of 10. It could have seen some better block and sanding work. Of course, every imperfection in the body work is magnified by 100 when you're dealing with a black car. That said, this car is a hell of a driver. It will turn heads everywhere you go and from 10 feet away you would say it was mint.
Minor Issues: The bumpers are driver quality but could use a re-chroming. They are in great shape and would be a great candidate to be sent out and made like new. The only mechanical issue is a very minor leak in the steering box which made itself known after the build was done. This leak does not effect anything in how the car drives and can be repaired if the new owner chooses to do so. Other than that the car is good to go. There is a reserve set on this car and it is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early should it sell before the auction ends. My reserve is EXTREMELY reasonable considering the rarity of this car and how well it is rebuilt. I have watched two other 1969 R/T's with date correct drive lines sell in excess of $50,000. These two were the exact same options as this car as in a 440 with a 727 transmission. This car is rebuilt mechanically front to back and with the reserve set where it is the new owner will be getting an ACTUAL 1969 R/T for a great price. This car will bring joy and many good memories to the new owner for many years to come. Before you ask, I am selling the car to fund a Mustang Cobra Jet 4-speed car I have just acquired. If I didn't have that I wouldn't be selling.
TERMS OF THE AUCTION: This is a binding contract. The winning bidder will pay a non-refundable $500.00 deposit within 24 hours of the auction's end and full payment will be received within 7 days of the auctions end. This payment will be made with cash or a wire transfer unless another form of payment is agreed upon beforehand. If you have negative feedback do not bid, I will just cancel it. Only bid if you have the finances available. These auctions cost money to run and I do not have time for dreamers or people who aren't serious about buying the car. As you can tell from my feedback I am a trusted E-Bayer and I go above and beyond for the people I deal with. I have sold several cars on here and have done everything in my power to make the buying experience pleasant for the buyer. My e-mail is synced to my cell phone so I will receive any questions when you send them and I will reply promptly. If you wish to contact me personally you can call me at 315-868-7452. I will entertain offers prior to the auctions end. I may be interested in partial trades but it is going to have to be something really nice with cash on top. The car is being sold as is, where is. I will assist with shipping in any way I can. Please feel free to ask any questions or call me. Happy bidding. The winner will not be disappointed!
On May-26-14 at 04:01:40 PDT, seller added the following information: Couple of things to add... The Redline Dog Dish hubcaps are the original Stainless Steel not the cheap aluminum aftermarket ones. They are in great shape for their age. Also, I have hundreds of pictures of this car but eBay only allows me to post 24. I will be adding a photo of the original and duplicated fender tag as I have already been asked for a photo of this by a prospective buyer. If you want to see something on the car please don't hesitate to ask. I will gladly send any photo to an interested buyer. Thanks for your interest! |

Consumer Reports says Ram 1500 tops fuel economy fight [w/video]
Wed, Aug 27 2014Consumer Reports takes its independent vehicle testing procedures seriously. In an era when we have to question the EPA's official ratings thanks to recent re-evaluations from Ford and Hyundai, an independent voice is important. So, when CR says something is the best, it's worth paying attention to. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel has "about the same fuel-economy numbers that we typically see in a midsized SUV." Jake Fisher In this case, CR took a look at the fuel economy of the 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel and found that it came out on top of the fullsize pickup truck pack. The Ram did so with 20 miles per gallon overall and 27 mpg on the highway. CR gave the truck a total road test score of 82. The EPA says that the EcoDiesel 1500 gets 28 mpg on the highway, 20 mpg city and 23 mpg combined. Comparing official EPA numbers, the Ram is also the best among trucks in its class. It's nice when people agree on something. As we know from first-hand, long-distance experience, you can push the 1500 EcoDiesel to 38 mpg. CR found in its own testing that the truck had, "about the same fuel-economy numbers that we typically see in a midsized SUV," said Jake Fisher, CR's director of automotive testing, in a statement. Speaking of midsized SUVs, CR also announced this week that the new Toyota Highlander Hybrid got the top spot in CR's ratings in that category. CR liked pretty much everything about the SUV, saying that the "transitions between electric power and the gas engine are seamless" and that, "the new Highlander also handles better, with a steadier ride and reduced body lean in corners."

RAM ECODIESEL 1500 TOPS CONSUMER REPORTS FULL-SIZE PICKUP TRUCK RATINGS Redesigned Toyota Highlander Hybrid Climbs to Top of Midsized SUV List Yonkers, N.Y.- The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel climbed to the top of Consumer Reports' full-size pickup truck ratings with an impressive performance in the organization's fuel economy tests. The EcoDiesel (82 point overall road test score) turned in a best-in-class fuel economy of 20 mpg overall and 27 mpg on the highway, to help it score better than the previously tested Ram 1500 V8 (81) regular gas version and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT (80).
Say goodbye to the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200
Wed, Jan 27 2016Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne outlined an update to the company's five-year business plan Wednesday, and among the changes, the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 sedans will soon be phased out. The company's presentation to investors states that the "market shift from cars to trucks and UVs [utility vehicles is] now seen as permanent shift in demand," and FCA wants to respond as quickly as possible. Killing the 200 and Dart will allow FCA to build more Jeep and Ram models at the Sterling Heights, MI, and Belvidere, IL, plants where the sedans were produced. We already knew FCA was planning to shift 200 and Dart production to Mexico, to free up the Sterling Heights facility for Ram 1500 production, and the Belivdere site for Jeep Cherokee output. The Cherokee will move from its current home in Toledo, OH, to allow for increased Wrangler production. It's no shock that FCA wants to shift its focus to crossovers and trucks. In December 2015, for example, combined sales of the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 were 15,310. The Jeep Cherokee, which uses the same platform as the Dart and 200, outsold both models combined, with 24,049 sales. Both the Dart and 200 had troubles from the beginning. Marchionne recently blamed designers for the 200 not receiving a Consumer Reports 'recommended' rating, and the Dart was one of the lowest-scoring cars in a CR reliability study.

Stellantis launching at least 25 EVs for America by 2030
Tue, Mar 1 2022Stellantis has announced a wide-ranging plan for the company through 2030 covering everything from product to financials. The product plans are what really caught our attention, particularly for the surprise reveal of the first electric Jeep, as well as new teasers of the electric Ram 1500. But the company also provided more broad details on what we'll be seeing in the future including both electric cars and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. All of the plans are in service of the Stellantis goal of reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2038. On that way, it plans for all European vehicle sales and half of all American sales to be electric by 2030. It will launch 75 new electric vehicles by that year, and at least 25 of them will be coming to the U.S. The first of those electric cars will be the aforementioned Jeep in 2023, but many Stellantis models will follow close behind. The electric Ram ProMaster will launch in 2023 as well. In 2024, we'll see the electric Ram (and its plug-in hybrid counterpart), two more Jeeps (an off-road model and a family-oriented model) and the Dodge electric muscle car. We'll get a preview of the Dodge with a concept this year. Then in 2025, Chrysler will launch its electric car, likely based on the Airflow concept. Stellantis has previously announced Chrysler will be fully electric by 2028, and it further announced that Alfa Romeo and Maserati will be fully electric by 2030. Stellantis is also working on hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, mainly for commercial use. For the U.S., it plans on offering a large, ProMaster-size hydrogen van in 2025. That year or a little later, it also has plans for a hydrogen heavy-duty pickup truck, presumably Ram 2500 and 3500. Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares noted that among the benefits of hydrogen for large and commercial vehicles is being able to avoid compromising payload capacity, since hydrogen powertrains are lighter than giant batteries. Hydrogen filling times are quick relative to charging, too. The company will continue working on and offering advanced driver aids. This year it will offer hands-free cruise control like GM's Super Cruise and Ford's BlueCruise. In 2024, the company intends to introduce a system that is hands-free and won't require the driver to be watching it the entire time. The technology is being developed alongside BMW. These are, of course, broad plans, and they could change as time goes on. Expect more details as we get closer to individual product releases.
