buy it

[Fitz73Chrgr]

Get it, before someone else does.  With all the repro sheet metal out now, I'm sure it is not beyond restoration.

[69bronzeT5]

About 20,057 R/T's and 4,243 RT/SE's I also read about 740ish RT/SE's with Power front disk brakes.  But I can't prove that.

You can find that info on this wonderful site.

All these responses saying buy it without seeing any photos - 

I can just picture another thread in the coming weeks asking how to repair rusty frame rails, replace floors, quarters, fenders, roof and how difficult it would be to replace the cowl and the dutchman panel.

Actually the wonderful site where you can find the stats would be www.1969chargerregistry.com but that other site is the bomb-dizzle as well

for $1500 even if the car is a loss you can sell off parts for more then that. For example. I just bought a new engine for my car site unseen, the block isn't going to help me but the motor has a good forged crank, 516 close chamber heads and an original steel 4 barrel intake and it's a 1966 motor... i'll make some money when I sell those parts

[charger01]

Lets seeeee some pics......

[Back N Black]

 Don't buy it because of the VIN, go find yourself a good soild car and spend half the money in restoration.You can put a 440 in it and still have lots of fun.
The only numbers you should worry about is horsepower and torque numbers.   

[rav440]

sounds like the same one i found for $1500.00 . is it

Oh yea, little mistake there.  But I did know you had that info.

Oh that's funny, kinda of.   Good point.

I see now why so many people are giving me a hard time about turning my triple black R/T SE into a daytona clone. 

[Brock Samson]

chrome pedel dress up trim is a good way to spot the '69 S.E. option package BTW.
(Ive seen plenty of Reg. chargers with the the S.E. piller trim and SEs where the Charger script was swapped there... )
  I don't know if '70 S.E.s were the only ones with the pedle trim... 

[MOPARHOUND!]

Does it have it's fender tag?

My guess is it is somewhere in or near Philadelphia, PA.

[nakita7]

sounds like the same one i found for $1500.00 . is it 

Same one I found...

[Magnumcharger]

Don't buy it.
Steal it.

[2fast4u]

  is this car by chance in Colorado and is the copper color with a white top and tan interior?  If so I know this car!!

If it is then a see a problem....

No dash. No dash= no vin tag. No vin tag= problem

[raybeez]

I got a 69 rt/se ...

cost me a grand.
Rusty - Very rusty- but it's one of 4000+ and had an engine (not original) and the interior, and an eight track player! I'll get around to getting her done.   

Better pick it up. After all, how many of these cars can be left

[JimShine]

Chris can answer this better than anyone, but it seems that the RT/SE's had a better than average survival rate.

[hemi-hampton]

Next time we hear from Bountyhunter he might be saying to late, It's gone? LEON.

[raybeez]

here's my rt/se

alot of work ahead! But hey, it was a thousand dollars so what the heck!

  ..  looks a good project .....  whats the original color ..would like to seee more pictures ..........

[1969chargerrtse]

I gotta agree on that one. I have one and I'm a little surprised how many are still out there?  On the other hand I understand why because from the day they were first ordered people understood what a unique car it was and through the years that logic stayed and so did the car.

[raybeez]

I believe the original color on mine was that dark green.

I don't have the build sheet. It didn't even come with a title...took a little while but I finally got one. Getting a title wasn't as bad as I'd thought it would be.

Seems the car is rusty because the guy I got it from lived about a mile from the ocean in upstate Ca. He didn't have a license, some kind of drug problem fried part of his brain, so this car hasn't seen an actual street action since the early 70's.
The guy's family trailered the car to me here in Arizona. (Someone we know is somehow related to the guy who owned the car). I never saw the car until it got to me...I didn't even know it was an rt/se. Thought I was buying a parts car...but I think this one is worth saving.

On the photo above - yes the rear window is out. Because of the rust (that panel right under the rear window is pretty much gone). I have the rear window, though...it was in the car along with the rear bumper

[bountyhunter]

hey guys thatnks for all the responses...It actually is the same one the rav440 has pictures posted of...I found it off the pittsburg craigslist if anyone was interested.I think Im gonna sit this one out, I talked to the guy and he seemed real cool, it was still for sale as of 3 days ago. update us if anyone deciedes to take it!
thanks Johann

I'll give ya $2000 and pay shipping 

[Shakey]

With scrap metal somewhere around the $350.00 CAD per ton range, I'd try and chisel him down to around $200.00 CAD so you could at least make a slight profit.

yep not much there for $1500.00 im out , not interested at all , i just posted that because it sounded like it was the same car .

here is the add if anyone is interested .

1969 Dodge Charger RT SE - $1500 (Aliquippa) pa.

http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/car/669380026.html

[Chad L. Magee]

At least it has a few more parts than my 69 RT/SE shell that I bought off of ebay.  Mine was stripped and left to rest on barrels out in rural eastern Kansas since the early 1980s, so it did not rust too badly underneath (no trees around = no leaves to trap moisture over time)......

[DodgeChargerNeeded]

Wow if that car is worth $1500 I need to run over to the 68 R/T I know about for $2000 and it comes with an older truck. The 68 R/T is complete looks like someone parked in 20 years ago in the field and walked away. I will almost guarantee nobody knows about it.

[69rtse4spd]

Have a 69 RT SE 4-speed, with disk brakes,luggage rack & Y2 YELLOW. All there, paid 3000.00 back in early 1980s. No tag or vin not worth it. For the money you would spend, could find one in better shape.      

[BlueSS454]

If it is then a see a problem....

No dash. No dash= no vin tag. No vin tag= problem

I noticed this too.  Any of you guys looking at this thing realize you can't do anything with it unless it was rebuilt with a salvage title and issued a state derived VIN?

[MoParMetal]

i didn't notice that. good thing he didn't get it.

[timmy]

1500 bucks i would buy it if i were u

[Nacho-RT74]

shouldn't have front disc being an R/T ?

[Goodz]

$1500 for THAT?!?!?!

no vin & fender tags ..thought the price was too good  ..

[Goodz]

What kind of problems does that create if you dont have the VIN and Fender tags?  Is it that much of a headache?  Mine doesnt have either. 

[69bronzeT5]

It could possibly be a big problem. Check your state laws. Most states can give you a "state issued" vin tag.

[konigcharger]

don't really matter if you dont have fender tag, at least as far as dmv is concerned. VIN plate that is a whole other matter, no way i would buy one w/o that unless its just a parts car

yeah, well, kinda too late for that.  already bought it, and obviously stupidly, invested quite a bit in it now.  I live in NY.  what should I do?

Check your state laws. Like I said, most states can issue you a state issue vin number.
