its a true x9/b7 interior car. the car was originally a d32 automatic, i was waiting for the guy to mention the pedals with a/c lol. it still has the automatic brake pedal. build sheet is still intact behind the seat

IMO, that X9/B7 interior combination has got to be pretty rare ?   The B-Sheet will be interesting as to Y13, Y14, etc., ?

Admittedly, I am not the most knowledgeable on these cars, but of the limited "X9" V88 1969 R/T SE examples I have seen.... the B7 interior is a FIRST for me ? (Black & CRT seemingly more common ?)

ahh your RTSE knowledge is better than most and usually spot on... :cheers:  I want to believe it.  I seem to recall a couple others.  Maybe a 69 C69 Coronet that was X9 with B7 on ebay with fender tag &/or build sht and maybe a 72 Challenger some yrs back.  But indeed a extremely rare combo for mopar (if X9 with blue int on RTSE).  Seems odd that the black completely stops at the sail panel vinyl trim.  It is my experience that the factory paint on the vinyl top cars would have over spray up on the sail panel.  Not stop so crisp.  So is that going on not having overspray?

So CB are you or have you bought it?  Any more better photos coming? 


as far as I know  , the steering column bracket is always painted body color ,  no signs of black on this to me , looks green , could be because ive lightened it  :slap:

From the original picture (of a picture) on page 1 the floor pan looks almost blue, although difficult to tell for sure.

Because there's blue carpet lol. I'm picking the car up tomorrow, I'll take actual pics and video. He said the build sheet is behind the seat,  that he can see it but never pulled it out. Hopefully it's decent shape

Very nice! I'd totally rock the black with the blue interior!

I'd probably do a blue tail stripe decal to tie it all together.

That is a nice step up for you. It looks pretty solid and complete.
I hope things are okay with your dad.  :cheers: That white El Camino must be his, right?

actually the elco is mine, trying to sell it.

cbrestorations

i had no idea i would own this car this weekend or even ever...i was just driving thru mojave where the car was and i saw him outside as he is right off the freeway, so i called and asked if i could stop by and bullshit with him because normally he is at work from 1-10pm and i always miss him. so i whipped around and  we were just talking cars when he pulls out a set of pictures he had developed. he was going to give them to a friend of his who was going to van nuys show this weekend and see what he could get for the car. i havent tried to ask him if i could buy the car before because his grandson said he wont sell it. thats when i asked if i could buy it, as ive known about the car for 20 years seeing the ass end of it as a kid every summer going to visit the grand parents. well the car disappeared one summer and i always figured they sold it. 3 years ago going back thru that town i was just curious and peaked over the wall, there it was hidden in the back with crap pilled all over and on top of it. so i went to the door and knocked to ask if the charger was for sale. that was when the grandson told me is was not and will not be for sale. so then for awhile i would try and stop by just to get permission to see it. i didnt know what options it had other than black with an r/t emblem but it could of been painted black. i kept missing him or it was already dark so i never got to see it in person till i showed up with the trailer and cash. all i saw where the pics of it he showed me at the visit prior. i wanted to lay a deposit on it then and there but he said no, you need to look at it during the day. i was there a few days later with the cash knowing i was gonna take it. we had to take part of his fence down to get it out because it was so buried in junk around it.

did a little video with the guy about how he aquired it and his history with it. i screwed up and didnt hold the phone sideways so its a small screen.  https://youtu.be/fQCE63bXCQg

That was a good idea with the video. Best of luck with the Charger. Looks like it will be a nice project.

Congrats-that's a really solid car. I remember you posting pics of it in the guy's back yard a while back. Persistence pays off. Most of my cars were only purchased after multiple visits and phone calls.

This one's too easy for you, no? There's guys with less skills on here who'd have fun with this one...... lol.

How long will this one sit in the pipeline?

GREAT CAR  :2thumbs:

But then again,
from my avatar, you may correctly assume that I am slightly biased around X9 V1X V88 1969 Charger R/T SE's ?
