charger 500 special edition 4spd

[steve817]

It looks like there were about 13 "special edition" 1969 Charger 500s.   How many of these SE's (special editions) are 4 speeds?

Well obviously not enough of both....

There is a guy on Moparts,and possibly on here too that is the original owner of a B5 440 4 speed Charger 500 SE.

4 speed SE original owner? Are we sure it's a SE car, or are you talking about Al?

In preparation to attend the October Aero Reunion in Alabama, We are preparing a one owner Charger 500 SE F8 440, 4spd survivor. It is not yet listed on any registry and has been garaged since the early 80's.  The original owner (Jerry) is really enjoying coming to the shop to watch it come to life again. The Charger 500 is an all original numbers matching car that followed Jerry (career Navy serviceman) to his duty stations including Hawaii and the Philippines. We are preserving all of the memories, loads of documentation, military stickers and years of "patina". As we find out more and more about this car from Jerry, we are becoming increasingly aware of it's coolness and rareness. When he was in Hawaii, he put slicks on (which he still has) and raced at the Oahu drag strip. Jerry is hopeful to also attend the Aero Reunion, however, his health will dictate that. I will attempt to post pics.

That's awesome !!!  

Hopefully the ribber strips on the leading edge of the front grille-2-fender fillers are there.. They usually disappear over the age of the car...... Very unique piece...

Hello Troy, Yes, those rubber "eyebrows" are in perfect shape and very pliable. Thanks, Steve

Man that rubber edging looks familiar, need to go to the garage and look. Might be awhile.

I have seen pictures of the car and looks very original and in good shape.

Cripes F8 and 4-speed, Jerry you is one lucky guy!!!

My F8 4-speed is the opposite to 'SE', its a bare-bones so its a 'BB' lol
Got an FM radio though...

Would love to chat to Jerry. Having talked to 14 original owners of 500's over the years, would love to chat up another one.

Well Old timer, we are planning on driving two aero cars out to AL for the 50th anniversary and Jerry will hopefully be there.
