Just wanted to share this with everyone as this is the only one I have ever seen and it is definitly original.  This is a 1969 Press Release packet for the 1969 Charger.  Pic and packet was scanned and I am awaiting my camera to come back so I can take a color pic of the folder with dated tab.  The press photo is black and white on glossy photo paper.

Hope everyone enjoys!

Thanks Brian.   With you're permission I'd like to copy those for the registry site.

I have about 3 different press release photos but they are of an R/T car.  I have to scan them as well and add thm to the site soon.

Chris, by all means, feel free to add this to the 69 Charger registry info.  I should have the folder front and back photos added tomorrow.  Dads digital camera was unable to be located today.  I will bring my digital camera to his house where my charger and all paperwork is kept.  I can also try and take photos of the 1969 Dodge Dealers Data book as well.

If that car in the press kit turns up, it will be the only known one.  All ordering information indicates the Hemi could only be had with the RT and all shipping info to date indicates that the policy was followed.

Ghoste,

I never knew that info.  thanks for the heads up on it.

That is a neat item to have,Thanks for sharing it.I wonder if anyone has that on a 68 Model?

Brock Samson


694spdRT

It sure looks like a '68 dash pad and it appears the door locks are strangely absent or am I blind? Could it be because they used a '68 model and the doors were not yet changed? Maybe the locks were left off because the literature specifically calls them out and some buyers may have caught it?

I see the front reflectors don't appear to be the yellow/orange colored type either.

I agree.  It looks to be no locks and red reflectors.

On a Hemi with an auto car, you wouldnt see any lines hanging down below the valance.

The cooler mounts in front of the radiator but the lines connecting to it run on top of the radiator yoke.

The bottom lines tuck under the rad support just like the non-hemi cars..

What if it were a hastily assembled trim buck?

Realisticly, if they never opened the hood it wouldn't even need to have a Hemi. There are just a couple badges seperating that car from any other.

Which may explain why it's never been found.  It could very well be out there right now with a 383 underhood and no one knows what it is.

                      i can appreciate what you guys are saying , and  i would probably be saying the same my self , but i can clearly see the  brass union( connector) and about 4"s of the line and a bit of the bend left of the union & about 1" on the right.
