I'm only $670,000 shy of being able to buy it.

What is the deal with the trunk wheelhouse not being the same as body color. Is that a Daytona thing?

Oooh, good eye! That is odd, huh?

[hotrod98]

As far as I know, limelight/sublime was not available in 1969. Superbirds had that color but not Daytonas.
Must have been a repaint.

[johntpr]

It was repainted that non stock color many , many years ago....the inside trunk wheelwells are black because if I recall that car was originally a black car from the factory

[nascarxx29]

Its a X9 black 4 speed car

[hemi68charger]

Yeah, you can see the eccentrics have been painted over...... What a shame on the car.... But, a real creame puff regardless....... A wee bit pricey though I'd say....

[694spdRT]

I thought it might be a repaint but, with the comment "Car Driven from Dealership to Storage in 1969" I didn't want to jump to conclusions. I wonder if the dealership resprayed it or the original owner?

Why on the VIN decal is the date 9/69?     Should it have been more of 6/69?

Or is the first "6/" missing??

I must be having a total brain meltdown. Did the pre-1970 cars get door VIN# decals. 

Regardless, like Chris said, a 9/69 date code should be during the 1970 production run and early Septmeber built cars at St. Louis(only plant in 1970) would have read "September 1969".

could be a special paint coded car u know looks pretty cool -MATT

[Shakey]

I am skeptical but that doesn't mean $hit as I have no intentions of buying it.

The Daytonas got the 70 VIN decals Ty.

As far as the special order color there was only 2 choices Butterscotch Yellow or Rally Green which is a darker shade than that car.
They would have painted behind the VIN decal and in the trunk if it were a special order color......

Elmer Duellman bought the car new, and he is the current owner.  He also has a limelight superbird with 11,000 miles-he bought that car new as well.

He has said that the daytona was lime green when he bought it, it was repainted in 1989-1990 because the paint was flaking off around the window plug.

Thanks Chris,

I didn't know that.

Also, I have an old muscle car magazine from 1989 with a '69 Charger R/T SE article about this car that sat on a dealers lot for over a year.  It was silver.  The only way the guy would buy it is if they painted it the same as his new Duster, lime light or in the case of the Charger, sublime J5.

BTW Chris, looking at the article now, here is the VIN for your registry.

XS29L9B173582 - got that one already?

Current owner, as of the Fall of 1989 - Timothy Winnie of Jeannette, PA.

1969 Charger R/T SE 440 Auto

[nascarxx29]

The story I read in a old newsletter about Elmer D car is was as is was such a early car .He got it off the assembly line direct from the plant

[BigBlockSam]

you think he'll take my trading stamps for the car. give me a break, that price is ridiculous. it's not a real survivor with a repaint.  my hotrod has 0 miles on it. for the last three yrs. i need a new speedo cable. mileage is easy to fake. nice car  but the price is to high . Rene

Ummm...the whoever was me and for 1969 Chargers, R/T's 500's & Daytona's (of which this topic was about) there were only 2- 99 99 colors available.  Butterscotch Yellow & Rallye Green.

Like Chris eluded to, the Daytonas got the door VIN decal.. Actually, they were the first.. One has to remember, the Daytona was slated to be a '70 model...

I wish Doug Schellinger would weigh in on this car.

E D bought the car new from what I"ve always been told. Car was painted the lime green, I before it was ever sold. I don't recall if it was E D who wanted it that color, or the dealership who painted it. But it was that color before being sold, or at least that is what I've always been told on the car.

I can assure you that the mileage on this car is not a fake. When I was little I remember going with my dad to see this car, and it was super low miles then, and Doug from the DSAC club and the Winged Warriors have all known about this car from very early on. Always been parked.

The door decal is something I didn't know and it is interesting. Were the Daytonas not pulled off of the assembly line and shipped to Creative? If so when were the VIN# door decals added? Because the standard '69 Charger's that went down the line did not get them I would assume the decals were installed after being pulled from the assembly line and before being shipped to Creative?

Still, why is there a 9/69 date code on it?  Maybe it is just a typo.  I don't doubt it is an original car but, these details are fun to talk about.
