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! |

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
2015 Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack Quick Spin
Thu, Jun 18 2015"Scat Pack" is plucked from The Big Book of Dodge Nameplates to describe what is basically the average of the Charger R/T and Charger SRT 392. Unnecessary horsepower always seems to go down better with a dose of heritage. If you think it's a silly name, just be thankful Dodge didn't call it an S/RT or an R/T-S. In previous years, a similar formulation was known as the SRT8 Super Bee. Going by another name, it's still as sweet and wears the same hurried-looking pollinator on the grille. We do wonder: What has displeased him so, and why does he have wings and wheels? The packaging is at least fresh. All Chargers get updates for 2015, including improved interiors and a Dart-on-steroids exterior redo. The new lines work especially well on the more aggressive models, including this Scat Pack car. Like the Super Bee before it, the Scat Pack gets the 6.4-liter engine from SRT 392; for 2015 it gets a slight output boost to 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque, respective increases of 15 and 5. It does without the SRT three-mode suspension and comes with cloth seats (leather is an option) to keep the price down. The Scat Pack also has slightly smaller Brembo front brakes, narrower wheels, and different rubber. It does, however, cost eight grand less and is just as quick in a straight line. Intriguing. Driving Notes Scat Pack cars get an electronically controlled active exhaust that we'd call hyperactive. It's loud all the time, opening its widest at startup, idle, and when you ask for any appreciable amount of power. Sport mode supposedly makes a difference, but we couldn't discern loud from louder. It's a delicious and appropriate loudness, with a brassy trumpet tone to it, and the engine makes top-fuel noises at full tilt. The squeal of the rear tires can be heard from every stoplight no matter the road conditions. A light touch avoids leaving a mark if you're so inclined. We weren't. When the tires eventually smear into the realm of traction, this thing is pretty quick hitting 60 miles per hour takes 4.5 seconds. There's also an adjustable launch control mode if you want to cut out some of the wheelspin. The eight-speed transmission shifts smoothly. Quicker, more-palpable shifts are had in Sport mode, but occasionally the transmission still needs a moment to drop down from seventh or eighth when you mash the throttle. Despite its two overdrive gears, this Charger is still loud on the highway. In a good way. Probably.
Certain Chrysler owners eligible for buyback program
Mon, Jul 27 2015Certain car owners whose Chrysler vehicles contain dangerous defects will soon have a way to get rid of their lemons without losing money. As part of an agreement with federal regulators, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has agreed to buy back more than 500,000 vehicles susceptible to veering out of control without warning at above market-value prices. The deal mainly covers certain models of RAM trucks, the Dodge Dakota pickup and Dodge Durango SUV. Further, owners of more than 1.5 million Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokees at heightened risk for lethal fires are eligible to trade in their vehicles at above market value or, alternately, get a gift certificate if they prefer to have repairs made. Chrysler has "a heavy responsibility to make sure the products they make are safe for the traveling public," said Mark Rosekind, administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. "... Here, we are sending an unambiguous signal to industry that if you skirt the laws or violate the law, or don't live up to the responsibility that consumers expect, we are going to penalize you." The buy-back and trade-in options for motorists come as part of an unprecedented penalty NHTSA slapped against Chrysler for violating federal motor-vehicle safety laws. Chrysler will pay a $105 million fine, the highest ever levied by the regulatory agency. In addition to the buy-backs, Chrysler also agreed to an independent monitor for three years. Investigators had outlined problems in the company's conduct in 23 recalls that affected more than 11 million defect vehicles. As part of a consent-order agreement, Chrysler acknowledged it did not notify vehicle owners of recalls in an effective manner and did not notify NHTSA of safety problems. Though those recalls affected millions of drivers, the buy-back and trade-in options are only for a small portion of the vehicles involved. Because Chrysler struggled to fix the problem and no repair was apparent, Rosekind said the buy-backs are reserved "for customers who didn't have a remedy." Buy-backs are for trucks and SUVs affected by three recalls that occurred in 2013 (recalls 13V-038, 13V-527 and 13V-529), that addressed a rear-axle pinion nut that could come loose and cause a loss of vehicle control. Those recalls covered 579,228 vehicles, including 2009-2012 Ram 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500 and 5500 trucks, 2009-2012 Dodge Dakotas, 2009 Chrysler Aspen and the 2009 Dodge Durango.
