69 Charger Se - Front disk brake option?

[triple_green]

I guy looking over my charger at the local cruse-in was telling me about a 69 Charger SE with factory front disks, he is restoring.

Was there a disk brake option on a 69 SE?

Thanks!

Sure was, it started with the 67 models.

Are you trying to buy it?

Shit, I woulda loved that option on my SE!

Has nothing to do with the SE option,or even the R/T for that matter,you could have power disc brakes on a base Charger.Beleive that the Bendix 4 piston disc brake calipers/master cyl was from 66-69.The SE option was just getting the car to offer alittle more luxury for those who wanted so by that years standard.Most SE's ususally are loaded up with options,but I have seen some SE's not having items such as A/C,PW's etc.

Those dual piston setups were crap.

Very true!

I've got front discs on an XP29 car, and drums all around on an XS29 car. Had no tie-in to the SE package, or the R/T packages

I don't know if I'd go so far as calling them crap.  The later designs were better as most ongoing engineering is but the four piston worked well until they became much older than the original desingers ever expected them to be still on the road.

I agree, as I have them on my Charger.   

I would choose having a car with power discs versus manual drums any day....the only issue I have is getting parts and/or having to rebuild the calipers every so often due to lack of usage on the 4 piston Bendix design.
