Would someone please explain why in 1969 you couldn't get a HEMI in a Charger RT/SE?

That is a neat item to have,Thanks for sharing it.I wonder if anyone has that on a 68 Model?

It sure looks like a '68 dash pad and it appears the door locks are strangely absent or am I blind? Could it be because they used a '68 model and the doors were not yet changed? Maybe the locks were left off because the literature specifically calls them out and some buyers may have caught it?

I see the front reflectors don't appear to be the yellow/orange colored type either.

I agree.  It looks to be no locks and red reflectors.

Am I that blind or am I just not seeing the trans cooler lines?

On a Hemi with an auto car, you wouldnt see any lines hanging down below the valance.

The cooler mounts in front of the radiator but the lines connecting to it run on top of the radiator yoke.

The bottom lines tuck under the rad support just like the non-hemi cars..

What if it were a hastily assembled trim buck?

Realisticly, if they never opened the hood it wouldn't even need to have a Hemi. There are just a couple badges seperating that car from any other.

Which may explain why it's never been found.  It could very well be out there right now with a 383 underhood and no one knows what it is.

                      i can appreciate what you guys are saying , and  i would probably be saying the same my self , but i can clearly see the  brass union( connector) and about 4"s of the line and a bit of the bend left of the union & about 1" on the right.
