Come on Pat I know you took more than that  . Never fear he has lots more.

Welcome to the forum BigRed, and thanks for sharing

[Ghoste]

Welcome to the group BigRed, that is an excellent start.  Looking forward to seeing how this car progresses.

[BigRed70RT]

Okay some more.

I notice the big cb antenna on the back ala DOH.

Jeff and I told the owners that we were saving the car from becoming another General Lee clone.

Jeff and I told the owners that we were saving the car from becoming another General Lee clone.

That's what I told the previous owner of my car, never heard such a big sigh of relief.  I think that's why he gave me such a good deal on it.

Darn good starting point!   Best of luck to ya BigRed!!  
  I mean 69rtse4sp!! 

[BigRed70RT]

It's not my car.  I don't have any '69 Chargers (that's Jeff's car (1969RTSE4SPD))  I'll start a welcome thread to show my '70 RT.

Hey my bad! (Even better I have a 70 also!  )

[Ghoste]

Ah, it was a little confusing there for a moment but its all clear now.

I took it off when I cleaned out the trunk.

Will call Pat later, use the computer at work myself. Asked Brent to ask Ray about no wood grain on dash since it being an S.E., also try and get some background on the car when he bought it off the lot. There was another tag under the fender tag, this one just had the number 15 stamped on it, any guess to what that means. .  

Wow! Great find   Thanks for sharing.

If your #15 tag is like the ones below, I have one on my '69 Charger also. The pics below are from cars I have seen for sale online. I believe they are inspector/inspection tags. I welcome input from anyone who has more info (were they used in certain plants, years etc?)

If memory serves me correctly from the 1969 Charger Registry, there were fewer 383/4spd Chargers built than 440/RT/4spds. I think the numbers were 3579 383/4spd and 3601 440/4spd Chargers. Hopefully the registry will be back up soon so I can confirm that.
Hint, hint Ghoste!

Let me say one more time, great car. It is probably rarer than some people realize, especially with the SE option. I think about 20-25% of production were SE's. Again, the numbers were on the '69registry.

Over the 30+ years of being a 68-70 Charger fan I have never seen a '69 SE without the woodgrain dash, but as they say, never say never.

As you know, more pics always welcome!

Your number on the 383 / 4 spd chargers sounds correct.   I have one of those 3579 or so!

[Ghoste]

Hopefully the registry will be back up soon so I can confirm that.

I've started working on it now so it should re-appear soon.

   looks good from the pictures 

[69rtse4spd]

Thanks, it's hard to tell in the side shots but has a dent in the drivers quarter at the end. Talked to a body shop guy that I trust today, he will stop out & look at it one day, want to save as much as the original sheet metal as possible. If he can't pull most of it out then maybe he could recommend someone. Pat knows a body guy that's good but that's down the road. Need to get Pat back over & take more Pict's of the trunk, & dents to see what you all think. Sent the last numbers of the Vin to Ghost for the 69 registry, & offered info off the build sheet if he needed it as well. Still don't know if I would ever put the green top back on it, need someone to photo shop a green top on a silver 69 to see what it would look like  . Maybe after dinner I may just type out the story of the car since I have a lot of time tonight.
