1969 Dodge Charger R/T - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

85Bowtie · 03-01-2010, 09:14 PM

I usually hang out in the '73-'87 section so I never knew there was a section to post non-GM truck projects. I am a hardcore Mopar guy that bleeds Hemi Orange. So I thought I'd post a past project, that I still own, since you all allow me to as nice as you all are.....

It's a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T, 440, 727, 8.75 w/3.55 Sure Grip. Some of the mods are Edelbrock Performer RPM closed chamber heads, Torker Intake, Holley 870 carb, all ARP bolts, Comp 292/.509 cam, 2" Hooker Super Comp Headers, Flowmaster Super 40's w/ 3" exhaust and X-Pipe. It thunders....

I bought it right after I graduated H.S in 2000 and it's been a project for the next 7 years. Even then so, it's still not done, they never are.

Hope you all like it.

Looks good. Admitedly I am not a fan of Dodge, but I can always appreciate a good restoration of a classic muscle car.

Is the black top vinyl or painted?

85Bowtie · 03-01-2010, 10:47 PM

Thanks, it's vinyl.

NONHOG · 03-02-2010, 12:54 AM

Wow nice car ! I love Mopars ! I'm anxious to start on one myself.
Few projects to deal with 1st

67ChevyRedneck · 03-02-2010, 12:56 AM

Great looking car! It's nice to see one that's not painted orange every once in a while

69GMCor70Chevy · 03-02-2010, 01:52 AM

Nice car! I love all Muscle and would love a 70 Charger but I sure wouldn't turn yours away if it turned up at my doorstep....

OARNGESI · 03-02-2010, 07:07 AM

Wow that looks great

hotrod 80 · 03-02-2010, 08:59 AM

Nice job , glad you hung on to it .

68,69 K20 · 03-02-2010, 05:54 PM

Very nice, my favorite year Charger and favorite color on these muscle Mopars....

JohnC · 03-03-2010, 05:07 PM

I'm not a big mopar guy, but my favorite one is the 69 Dodge Charger, Dukes fan

. This is an awesome looking car man. You did a great job!

ed2552 · 03-03-2010, 05:50 PM

That's a great looking car. What's the estimated HP?

85Bowtie · 03-03-2010, 10:06 PM

Thanks for all the comments.

I saw a couple very similarly built motors on another site I'm on frequently, Moparts, and they were pushing the 525-550 HP mark, so I'm guessing this one is around the 500 HP mark.

rjn72 · 03-25-2010, 11:05 PM

I love me some mopar. Sweet car.

67_C-30 · 03-25-2010, 11:20 PM

Very nice! One of the sexiest bodies to ever roll out of Detroit!

71meangreenc10 · 04-07-2010, 09:14 PM

I also love me some Mopars,,,I ve always wanted to find a good 68-69 Road Runner, that body style of the Chargers is got to be the best ever, Super Sharp Mopar you have there. Dodge should be ashamed of the 4 door ones now.

I also like the body lines of the 69-71 New Yorkers, 300's Newports.........

That's funny.....me too. Not many people around who appreciate those. I'd like to have one to use as a Tuesday night league bowling car....

Thanks again guys.

That's cool. I'm going to do the same with my '68 Satellite (the one in my sig) only it will be the wrong year for a clone, but I still want to do it. I was thinking Bahama Yellow with the Six Pack hood and throwing a 440 in it I have laying around with a 4 speed. I'm fighting between that idea and leaving it stock looking with it's pea green paint, green interior with the flat hood but same mods to make it a sleeper. Right now it's just too nice for me to tear it apart for no reason... Thanks again

67chevylongbed · 04-23-2010, 12:23 AM

Wow that turned out great, that's my favorite year charger.
