69 Charger R/T SE and it's 92 year old original owner in Santa Barbara

[skip68]

So I spent a week in Santa Barbara "again" and this 69 Charger pulls in behind me at a gas station.   What's the odds?      I spent 20 minutes or more talking to the owner that bought the Car new.   He's 92 years old and loves horsepower.   He also has a 68 Charger.    Anyway, here's a few pictures.

Did you say that you want to be add in his will when he is gone? Awesome car looks very good.. 69 Charger keeps the blood bumping. I think he will get much order then 92

Great story, Chuck. 

We can all but hope to hit that age someday & still be able to enjoy these cars.

Is it a 4 speed or automatic?
I notice it has the passenger side view mirror.

[charge69]

What are the odds that an unrestored 1969 R/T Charger will pull in behind you at the service station!!! Awesome story and I hope you got his contact information.

[billssuperbird]

I hope I can still drive my car at that age.

What a great story.  Do we have members in Santa Barbara who know of this car?

[skip68]

It was fully optioned with AC.   It had headrest but he took them off.  I think he ordered the car if I remember correctly.   Oh, it was automatic with bucket seats.   He said he's never left it parked outside.   ALWAYS PARKED IN GARAGE SINCE NEW WITH 0% rust.     Really neat pro American mopar car guy.    And at 92 years old he still likes to hammer the throttle.    Just priceless.   

[skip68]

Oh, I almost forgot the one thing we've all had that his car didn't ...........not one crack in the dash.     

[skip68]

He also said it was 500ci with a cam.  So, modified original numbers matching.

Cool story, and great color combo!

[BrianShaughnessy]

    That car looks great!   And T5 too 

     That's all kinds of awesome...  but personally I really don't want to be anywhere near where a 90+ year old is driving      But this guy must be in pretty good shape considering the car looks that good still.   

[charger_fan_4ever]

Just wow.
I'm curious how many miles on that bad boy ?

[72Charger-SE]

That is a very cool story!  I need to find different gas stations to fill up at...       

[F8-4life]
