Volo !!!!!  Run !!!!  Run as fast as you can !!!!!!!

They can't get their stuff together..... Gold exterior!!??  Think it's T7 Bronze actually... If it's the one I think it is, it's the sequential car after my T7 C500

[Ghoste]

What's with all the copper colored 500's lately?

[69_500]

It is a T5 bronze car. Car has had a repro fender tag put on it, some time ago. Car was for sale out of Canada 2 1/2 years ago for $70K Canadian. Then was for sale in Washington earlier this year for $110K. Then for sale in Chicago through another dealership this summer for $150K. Now is for sale. I"m guessing they are wanting in the neighborhood of $175K. Non numbers matching, but it is a legit HEMI 500 4 speed car.

[Ghoste]

I was more or less meaning copper in a generic sense.  It just seemed like I've seen a lot of threads lately with 500's (and Daytonas) in that color family.  Just their turn I guess.

[69_500]

I would say your right though Ghoste, there was a lot of T5 and T7 cars built though back in 69.

Danny, do you know how many Bronze 500's had black interior and how many had Saddle Tan interior?  Were these the only interior colors available with Bronze exteriors?  thanks.

I haven't broken all the information down that far as of yet. I can tell you that there are bronze cars with white interior as well. I don't recall any with red interior, or blue interior, or green interior, but that doesn't mean there wasn't any. Would definately be some weird combo's if there was though.

[69_500]

Okay I went over what I do have on the bronze cars.

I have a T3 car with tan interior, T3 car with white interior.

T5 with white interior, T5 with black interior, and a T5 car with Tan interior.

T7 cars with black interior, T7 cars with white interior.

The T3 cars both have white tail stripes though.

T5 cars have white stripes with tan interior, and black stripes mainly with black interiors. Well really about 50/50 on the black interior cars.

T7 cars have black stripes with tan interior, and black stripes one the majority of the black interior cars as well.

Danny... Not sure if you have, but did you change my stripe color to white after I found out it didn't come with a black stripe?

Yuppers, sure did.

I haven't added a section in the spreadsheet yet for stripe color. So far for most cars I just have photo's to go off of. I only have about 45 cars wrote down as to which stripe color they are. The rest are from photo's from years and years.

I was thumbing through the Color & Upholstery manual just now, and here are the available interior color combinations for exterior paint colors T5 and T7:

T5:  Black, Tan, White , and C5X (cloth & vinyl)

T7:  Black, Tan, White, C5X (cloth & Vinyl) plus C6G Dark Green!! (although C6G was listed as not recommended)

[69_500]

I've often wondered about those options listed in the color and upholstery guide.

If I'm not mistaken does it list blue interior as an option for the Y4 cars? Or the A4 cars?

How about green for a Yellow car? I know of a Y2 yellow 500 with green interior. Y4 gold car with blue interior, and an A4 car with blue interior.

[hemi68charger]

T7:  Black, Tan, White, C5X (cloth & Vinyl) plus C6G Dark Green!! (although C6G was listed as not recommended)

eewwwwwwwww  !!!!!

It's like that yellow '70 v-code Charger R/T with green interior..............

Of the combos you listed, the book says all were possible but the Y4/blue interior.  That doesn't mean they didn't make such an animal, as we all know there are lots of examples of things that weren't "supposed" to be made.

Silver had all combo's listed as possible except Tan.  Y3 (Cream) had all listed as possible except Blue, although Red was listed as "not recommended".  Here is the page from the book:

So.   

Danny, put me down for T7 car with Tan interior.

Troy*, how did you know Dana's stripe color was originally white?  I'm trying to find out what my car is supposed to have.  It has had one repaint.  Maybe it should be white also since we have the same color car interior and exterior.

Geno, was there a factory option for leather seat inserts?  or is that an aftermarket option now available?






* the other Troy..

[41husk]

Volo is about 15 miles fro Hlpg, between the two establishments you should be able to find a good bargain

Paul,

The SE interior combos (with leather seat inserts) were on the back side of that same page.  Do I need to scan and post it too?

nope, thats ok.  Could a leather seat insert interior be ordered without the SE option?  I dont have the build sheet for my car and the interior was out of it when i got it so i'd like to put the leather seat interior in when i get to that point.

thanks

Paul,,
I've acquired photos of Dana from the '70's when she was in her original paint and it's a white stripe........  She went through the ringer, that's for sure........

To my knowledge, you only got the leather & vinyl seats when the SE package was ordered.  There is no separate line item on the Price Sheets I have for the options and accessories, and the Dealer Data book only mentions it as part of the SE package.  On top of that, here's a quote from the Upholstery book:

The standard bucket seats are trimmed in leather and vinyl when the extra-cost optional Special Edition Package is selected in either Charger R/T or Charger.

The title of that section is called "Charger R/T & Charger - 2-door hardtop Extra-cost Leather S.E. Trim"

I know better than to say it NEVER happened, but leather inserts were only supposed to come on SE cars.  After talking to some guys that used to work at the St. Louis Assembly plant back then, just about anything could happen.  Lots of guys that worked at the plant bought cars, and personally walked them down the assembly line.  A few bucks here, a few bucks there, and all sorts of things were "added" to a car that wasn't on the order sheet or supposed to be available.

If your car is an SE, it should definitely have the leather/vinyl seats.  If not, almost certainly not.  Isn't the fender tag still with the car?  All Charger SE's should have CR_ coded on the tag, with the last digit denoting the color of the interior trim.

If thats the one outta Canada its a decent enough car but way overpriced at $175k, unless the car has been restored. I would say it was driver condition with fair paint covering up some bodywork. I heard the Canadian owner traded a 69 Daytona straight up for it...Red on Red car needing a total resto. I believe the Daytona was on Ebay a few years ago...maybe 3 and thats how the trade came about.
I have the old Auto Trader ad when the Red on Red Daytona was for sale in Western Canada for $13,000...right around 1986.

I read some years ago that there was a guy who's specific job was to catch bad color combos like a yellow car with a red gut or blue and green combos.
sorry i don't remember the source...


i'd like to see dark blue with the tan on a '69 SE.

(any word on that tan vynal top material anyone?..)
