I was wondering who has a 69 Charger that was built in August 1968?
When did production start for the 1969 Charger?   Was it Thursday Aug 1st 1968?

My last 69 Charger was Aug 9 on the fender tag
next project 70 Charger FJ5 green

first week for the 69 charger started  first of August 1968 , although i'm sure i did have saved pictures of 2 preproduction  69 chargers with  late july SPD , think i heard or read  one was a show car & had leaded over seams in the driver door jam , dont quote me on this though could easily be getting mixed up  :-\  :scratchchin:


i had hundreds & hundreds  of fender / vin tags & broadcast sheet pictures saved for 69 chargers , but lost the lot when my hard drive blew up years ago , started over but gave up was crazy idea givng how many i had lost  :-\  :brickwall:  i still have a few documented in the new file i started as follows 

Hamtramck SPD  801 i have one        St. louis SPD  802 i have one
                802 i have one
                803 i have four

FWIW  a  Few of the early build 69s with  with low sequential numbers starting 10**** & 11**** , had the previously mystery firewall plug , that was still  mystery till (HemiGeno) discovered what it was or a good chance it was for  :yesnod:

My 69 383 car has a 8/28 build date. It has the chrome shifter knob and the black buttons on the door handles instead of chrome... I'm not sure if it's a coincidence but those seem to be common on early build 69's.

Yes, I know I have too many cars. My wife reminds me daily.
