My idea of a Near perfect Charger

[gtx6970]

May not be perfect condition or details wise, but this is about as close to my version of an ideal ride as you may get.

color combo and options wise

Real nice car, in fact - VERY nice car!

...but no undercoating 


Also, no rear seatbelt clips and look at upper trim just below the window opening...


Highly optioned, according to the window sticker...

[69 OUR/TEA]

I've seen that one on ebay recently,love it !!  That T5 with white goes rather well,my second fav color combo!!!!! It is optioned out very,very closely to my car.

[69 OUR/TEA]

Missing the front bumperettes.

[1BAD68]

Nice 

[Dino]

Very nice!

I had no idea A/C was so expensive, that's quite a chunk of change in those days!

[hemi68charger]

Missing the front bumperettes.

Good eye.... missed it myself initially. But now that you mention it, it's painfully obvious.......

[BrianShaughnessy]

Really nice. 

I need a console. 

[Back N Black]

Rear valance corners bonded over, driverside headlight door mislinged ,probally tab broken. missing front bumperettes. trunk lid mis-alinged on driverside. right rear upper pad not secure.
Front exhaust pipes look older than the rear pipes.
But still a nice car.

[XS29L9Bxxxxxx]

No pentastar on fender 


And those smoothed corners 



No undercoating anywhere...

Being an SE, shouldn't it have rocker trim?  I also cannot see the seam from quarter panel to rocker either.

Nope...

2nd that "Nope" But mine does !!! 

[Dino]

So the rocker trim was optional or delete? 

Always thought that SE's had the trim no matter what.

Still doesn't have the seam though...

[bakerhillpins]

optional

Absolutely an option,not real rare,but minimal % had them,and alot of guys add them.They do look nice.Think I asked this to Chris before,if my memory serves me,2K plus cars in his registry,just over 200 are coded for it.Am I close Chris ??

BTW,the first GL did !!! LOL

[Dino]

And here I thought they all had it! 

A man can learn a lot on this board!

Yep first GL had them, at least until it cleared that pile of sand.....

Barn find above has rocker trim, not an SE

I hear you! 

If this was a QQ1 car I would probably sell my wife and kids and mortgage my left and right stuff.

It's beautiful anyhow.

[69 OUR/TEA]

It is also an early car,before Jan 1st,so headrests were an option,The N88 speed control I beleive is rather rare.

December 18th, 1968  - Is the window sticker original, or a reproduction?

[69 OUR/TEA]

Looks orig to me,and on the undercoating,during the resto if they had it blasted in/out/top/bottom,had to paint the bottom anyway,I would to have NOT re-undercoated it.These cars look killer when the bottoms are painted,especially a color like this to contrats against everything else.Mine is an all orig sheetmetal/floors car with the fact undercoating still all present and mint,and when I do tear mine down for the resto,I will be leaving mine alone,just cleaning it up and touching up the color.

[doctor4766]

Very nice!

I had no idea A/C was so expensive, that's quite a chunk of change in those days!

Yes!
And I see they charged $40.70 for tinted glass too.
I thought that came standard with an aircon car.

[Jeff_1577]

Didn't think you could order A/C from the factory on an R/T version car, or was it just the 426 Hemi you couldn't?

[69 OUR/TEA]

Hemi and 440 4speed could not get A/C.There were however 383 4speed A/C cars.

(G11)tinted  glass was a recomended option with A/C    not sure if it was a mandatory option

[69 OUR/TEA]

tan top,your car is pretty well loaded to,right ?

[69bronzeT5]

Man I looooooooove T5!

[bakerhillpins]

Interesting. I never noticed that items included in other packages (A01 in A47, and L31 in A47) are not listed as individual line items on the dealer invoice but ARE listed on the fender tag.

255 to be exact...

Correct!  

And FWIW this promo car is a T5 RT/SE as well...
The eBay car even has the marker light still painted body color like this old promo pic.....hmmmmm    



PSS---the fluorescent lights do this color no justice....looks waay too light to be T5...almost looks T3   Wish they took some pics outside...

Thought that was what you had said to me.Both of mine had them,and on the B5 car,it had G11,NO A/C !

[jaak]

Missing the front bumperettes.

Thats the first thing I noticed, too. A charger w/o its bumperettes looks like a kid missing his 2 front teeth.
Nice car though!

[69 OUR/TEA]

  The rear bezel on the promo car is not stripe color !!!

[stripedelete]

How rare is a tach in an automatic?

[dodgedarren]

Real nice car, in fact - VERY nice car!

...but no undercoating 


Also, no rear seatbelt clips and look at upper trim just below the window opening...


Highly optioned, according to the window sticker...

I thought undercoating was a dealer option?? Where would it be undercoated from the factory???

Thank for the info.

[XS29L9Bxxxxxx]

Wrong wheels for a 1969, too...  

[bull]

Looks orig to me,and on the undercoating,during the resto if they had it blasted in/out/top/bottom,had to paint the bottom anyway,I would to have NOT re-undercoated it.These cars look killer when the bottoms are painted,especially a color like this to contrats against everything else.Mine is an all orig sheetmetal/floors car with the fact undercoating still all present and mint,and when I do tear mine down for the resto,I will be leaving mine alone,just cleaning it up and touching up the color.

They all got undercoating inside the wheel wells at least, and I wouldn't drive that car without it. Unless I wanted "outie" dents in my fenders.

[tan top]

tan top,your car is pretty well loaded to,right ?

  well not as much as you would think for a R/T -SE       
    main  options  as well as the A47 package  are / were  A/C  - tinted glass all round ,-  remote driver mirror , - center console - power steering - am radio -  vinyl top  - automatic - power steering , V88 stripe delete  !

its missing  stuff like & what you would of thought would be on a R/T -SE
mine has  
no right door mirror
no cruse control
no  power windows
no power brakes
no tic-toc-tac
no headrests . SPD november 22nd 68 ------ but  with in a couple on months getting the car found a real good pair in  a 69 roadrunner that had been rolled /flipped on the street  ,

As bull stated:

J55 also undercoated the entire car and put the insulation pad under the hood.

Understood,neither would I.

It lists a tach.  Btw, is that rare on an auto? 

[1969chargerrtse]

2nd that "Nope" But mine does !!!  

Mine too!  I just don't think it goes well with my color and no vinyl top.

[69 OUR/TEA]

Don't know if the tach is a rare option,seems to me alot of them had it ???Both of mine did/do. Chris...............     But then,member R/T SE's car is an orig 4 speed R/T SE,dana car and did not have a tach from the factory.You think being a 4 speed it would def have one.

[66FBCharger]

Very nice car. It's T5 like my recently purchased R/T.
Is it priced too high? I think if it was a 4 speed, it might have bids on it already.

[gtx6970]

Is it priced too high? I think if it was a 4 speed, it might have bids on it already.

Price is IMO , to high.
And I never said it was perfect details wise.
But WOW, with these kind of options and color combination, it just popped my buttons BIGTIME

[1970chargerrt]

My 70 R/T automatic has a tach and a 68 R/T automatic I drove a long time ago had one.  Just about every R/T I have seen has one and they have mostly been auto's so I think the vast majority had a tach.

[stripedelete]

Learned something.  I have pressed my nose up against the glass of a lot of chargers over the last 30 years and this is the first auto with a tach with a tach I've seen.  But, aside from pictures, the only electric windows I've seen are in my spare doors.

My RTSE was pretty loaded. PW and power front disk are pretty rare along with A/C tinted glass etc, but no tach.

Very nice car but many items of detail are not factory correct. Would of been nicer looking with the correct trim rings.  It ain't 2007 no more, the price needs to drop 10 grand.
