Hi everyone. New to the board and I have a question. My dad bought a 69 brand new when he got out of the army and always told me that is was a SE. It was metallic copper, had a 383, vinyl top and had wood grain console and possibly leather? Would having a 383 qualify as an RT/SE or would it need to have a 440 or Hemi for that?

Unfortunately it was stolen in the early 80's on the one night that my dad did not put it in the garage!

It would have a 440 or Hemi if it were an R/T. You could get the SE package on anything. Sounds like a cool car though.

Thanks for the quick responses. I know it had a wood grain dash. Not sure about the pedals. I was only around 6 years old when it got stolen.

If I was to get the VIN, is there a way to see if anyone might still have the car?

To this day, my dad can't watch the Dukes of Hazzard without getting upset.

Of course. The SE was not a perfomance package, but simply a dress up package. Probably could do the /6 SE as well, if any were built in '69. :yesnod:

to help clarify your question. without a doubt if it was a 383 car, woodgrain dash... it was a 383 SE 69 charger. not an R/T, just a Big block SE charger. still a cool car.

At this point I'd take a clean 318 or 6-cyl just to get my hands on a 69. Not many around in NYC

383 SE, sounds like a nice car.

My first Charger was a Gold/Black top '69 SE with 318 auto on the column.Woodgrain dash,pedal dress up, leather front seats. This was in 1974. I went to the dealer and bought a 340 dual point dist. and chrome exhaust tips. Stopped at the parts store and got an Arvin dual exhaust for a '73 340 and tailpipes for a 69 440.
Have you seen my old '69 Charger??

I had a 69 SE with a factory 318 so yes that combo is possible.

I think that there were a total of six 1969 Charger SE /6s built according to the info that I have.  There was one up in Washington a few years ago........
