Hello my friend is thinking about looking/ bidding on this car,https://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-Dodge-Charger-Special-Edition/273550440555. Any history on this site about this car. Vin#XP29H9G122252. Thanks for any help guys

If your friend has interest in the car having the Special Edition option (A47 code on the fender tag), he should be made aware of this;

A47 / SE option included...

-- Wood grain dash, not the black pebble grain in the car now.
-- "SE" emblems on the sail panels (maybe removed and not replaced when the vinyl roof was done?)
-- Wood grain steering wheel. Obviously there is an aftermarket wheel now, but if he wants to make it a "correct" SE model, they are expensive.
-- The pedal dress-up / trim is missing from the gas and brake pedals. That is an easy fix though.

The listing says "The power seats are 6-way power seats". Power seats were not an option, so who knows what has been done? There was an option for 6 way manual driver seat though.

I think that this is one of those cars that the first thing to do is compare the rad support and trunk numbers to the fender tag and dash vin tag.

:cheers:

Yes it should have the wood grain on the dash as stated, but I have a one owner 69 S.E. 4-speed that the owner stated that he bought that way. No wood grain on any of the dash, for what ever reason, he picked it up from the dealer that way. Maybe the factory ran out that shift, keep the line running, we'll change it out later, never happened. But on this car as stated, check everything over & walk on, for what they are wanting you could come look at my Red, 69 S.E. numbers matching or send you Pict's.

I don't think the door is shut in the photo of the car outside. If you look at the photo of the car inside, the passenger door lines up just fine at the quarter. Im guessing the trunk latch needs to be adjusted down so that the decklid sits lower at the rear. If you look, the decklid sits higher than the quarter on both sides. Indicative that it is the latch. Two bolts; easy fix. Also, the trunk could not be latched and just resting there. This car has its issues, but isn't as big a pile as made out to be.
Door looks closed all the way to me, I guess those aren't rust bubbles on the door corners either but just a little dust on everyone's monitors.  Maybe you should buy it yourself if you think is such a good buy, unless you're the seller.

Did I attack you personally? Back off. I did say the car has issues. Rust bubbles on the door would qualify as issues. Read before you rant. I still think the car is not as bad as described. I am under no contractual obligation to purchase the car because I stated my opinion.

I'm seeing more problems then just the trunk lid & latch & they are not as easily fixed, things that should of been fixed before ever painted :scratchchin:

I agree. judging by the shots of the underbody, it was not a total rotbox to start with. There are some quality parts there, looks like a few steps were skipped in the bodywork process.
