Yard Find - '69 Charger R/T SE

[Shakey]

Spotted this car earlier in the week.  This car is complete, right down to the $400.00 USD jack in the trunk.  She is a bit on the rusty side though!  I want to buy it, either as a project or for parts!

[Shakey]

Not a crack in that grille!

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Crikies!

Dibs on the radiator!!

AND the A/C setup!

AND the cruise control


Oh yeah......fender tag info??

[Shakey]

 

[Shakey]

Here is the fender tag!

Are you kidding me???

I hope you buy this thing! That grill, jack, window trim, etc is worth bucks!

What a damn shame... An F6 '69 Charger R/T..........

I think I threw up a little.  

Wonder what the story is on that one.

What a damn shame... An F6 '69 Charger R/T..........

I think that it is F8.  My car is an F6 car, bright green.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

  maybe even F5

[Shakey]

It is a shame.   Just think of how many others are out there doing the same thing, rotting in a field.   

I am going to try and track down this fellow so I can buy this car.   I have his name and a couple of guys in town said that they will help me by keeping their eyes out for him.   I have their phone numbers and they said I can call them for updates.   

By the looks of it, this car has sat here for quite some time.   It looks to be totally complete.   Despite the rust, the car is in great shape, straight as an arrow.   There is not even any dings in the grille trim.   I am guessing that this car is complete and numbers matching, but I could be wrong.   The upper rad hose looks incorrect as does the trunk mat.

In the photos I have posted, do you see anything wrong / incorrect?

Do you think this car can be saved?

I took over 20 reference photos to assist in the assembly of my car.

amazing that some schmuck couldnt find a tarp 20 years ago   

[Silver R/T]

hopefully someone might restore it

Hopefully that someone will be me!

That is a great and sad find all in one. 

Did you check the floors boards and frame? I am going to guess the trunk is gone because the mat is still there.

I would stay on top of that. If you find the guy and he wants to sell don't wait long. Esp. since you just let every Charger fan in North America in on it. 

Good luck, I hope you get it. 

[PocketThunder]

I'll trade you a 6-way seat track for it!





:slap:i'm gonna go take those pictures now, stand by....

No fender tag info?............ Shakey...

I think the fender tag was rusted away in one of the pictures...

Hey Shake,
Awesome find!!!

if you can only get him to part it out consider the grill sold !!! no joke!!

That's awesome, how do you keep finding these things!!

PS...I might have a lead on a couple of 69's in "our" area............

[79JON]

I wouldnt part it out,      That would be just one less RT out there.    You can always replace metal including the roof.    Someone would restore it.

[Charger_Fan]

Wow, that grille really is in amazing shape!

It sucks that the top is so sad, the rest appears to be pretty decent.

Yeap, roofs can be replaced.......

It is hard to tell the true condition of the car from the pictures, but you should definitely try to save it... GREAT FIND!

WELL I WILL HAVE AN EXTRA ROOF.

LMK   SHAKEY

[greenpigs]

Hope you can work something out to get that Charger.

[hemi68charger]

Think Trav will have an extra roof or two..

[69_500]

Wow excellent find. The cruise control set up is definately something I'd love to add to a car. I have thought about adding it to my 500, but I'm not sure if I really wanna change too much on that car.

Love the stripe delete RT/SE's though.

[MOPARHOUND!]

Here is the fender tag!

Hope it has a broadcast sheet.

Cool rare find, don't see many of the rare cars setting outside like that anymore.

Is the cruise control special for the B bodies or do othe models have the same setup? C bodies seem to have that option a lot more often. I also have one in a old Adventurer SE 440 truck and it looks similar. I am sure it could made to work..probably not the correct part #'s though.

[Chad L. Magee]

That's a good find Shakey, hope you can buy it and restore it back.  My first 69 (383-4, auto WHS) was found like that in a junkyard, but the rust was just in the trunk floor and bottem quarters.  Too bad on the fender tag though.  At least it was there when you found it and not taken long ago by a previous finder....... 

[THE CHARGER PUNK]

weird charger aficianado should be all over that car already with its tan interior -MATT

[ChargerMad]

Hi,
Does anyone know what the engine is like underneath that?

Dan

[cudaken]

Crap!    A sunroof as well!

Funniest I have read here in a long time.

Lets hope HALP does not find out about that car, but then again it would be there best Charger to date.

[E86/A47]

sweet find shakey!!!! are there SE badges? I thought all SE's had black leather interior........?

[hamtramck]

If you do buy it and end up parting it out    i am looking for any good tan interior pieces especially a good tan console body.

[ChargerMad]

And im after an engine lol  . Would be a shame to see that being broken for parts though.
