unrestored 69 charger ----- 33 thousand miles

[c00nhunterjoe]

Just because its pretty, doesnt mean its been restored.

Yessiree, looks like old "curly" with the uniquely formed "C" on Broadcast Sheets was doing all of them ?

Here is mine, same / same distinctive "C" as yours, and done the same day Nov 23rd 1968 by "curly" at work, same day as the one in the Charger Ad.

I've seen the "curley" at the top of the grease penciled "C" on broadcast sheets from other 69 Chargers (here's once from Nov. 20, 1968).  Is there a significance to that or was there one guy doing a lot of cars who had unique handwriting?

  have the same , on mine  ! all be it CRX ,

  my SPD was /is  22nd November 1968 - B22  , 

got to be the same Guy !! on all the Hamtramck 69 charger broad cast sheets ,  that has had the trim code  crayoned across it , its  the same writing style  ( not all Hamtramck sheets ive seen had them though  , may be , the ones with out the trim code written across it, were for a different department  & or these sheets were found in a different place to the rear seat back ,   one more thing , ive see on one  69 charger broad  broadcast sheet , from the  Hamtramck assembly plant  ,  the trim code written it Crayon ,& it was  a different style     only one I've ever seen that style of writing .
  (i'm far from a expert on this stuff , just my own observations  ...)

My 4/30/69 SPD sheet has the curly C also

second picture  , back to  normal Curly C guy

[Challenger340]

I should go pull my 2nd Broadcast Sheet above the Glove Box, and see if "Curly" wrote on it.
I "felt" it there by hand a couple of years ago....
but I never pulled it for fear of tearing it or screwing it up, because I figured one day I would carefully remove the glove box itself to access it, so as not to damage anything.

"Curly" was a busy guy ! Who'd have thunk 47 odd years later "Curly" would be notable ?

[Bob T]

curly did my 68 also.

Same here.
Kinda cool eh. Hadn't even considered it until Ghoste raised it.
Will put up a pic tomorrow

Edit. Added sheet
September 7th 1967 Shipping number 110853 XS29L8B124308

[Ghoste]

I can't take credit for it Bob, it's some interesting trivia I'm just learning about myself.

[six-tee-nine]

Mine is exactly like this one....

[66FBCharger]

Mine has the curly C also. SPD of B06.

[wingcar]

I believe everything in the ad to be true....oh, wait...I need to go offline for a while as I see a couple of black helicopters hovering over my house. 

(Very nice car, but there are many questions......)

[Ghoste]

Which is interesting because the ad states "no dreamers".

[myk]

The seller and the ad are targeting buyers that don't know any better.  Unfortunately, there are plenty of uninformed people that are just too willing to part with their hard earned money...

[Troy]

What am I missing? The seller lists the VIN and clearly states it's a 383 4bbl PLUS there's a pile of documentation - none of which says it's an R/T. In the ad text he refers to the car as an "SE". He does mention "RT/SE" clearly as a comparison. If someone were trying to be sneaky I'd say this is possibly the absolute worst example in history.

There's a badge in the grill and a stripe - something we've discussed a million times (it seems) as being ridiculously easy to reverse. What's the problem?

[Ghoste]

I think its the"original" part that is being questioned.

[68pplcharger]

lol If you look at the end of the add he lists the three changes done to the car. Might be over priced, but a garage kept car in San Diego( or any dry area of Cali) would look about this good.  

[Cncguy]

The quarter panel to roof seam is very visible, in first pic.

[Ghoste]

It is, but I've seen some others with pretty bad roof seams from the factory.

Are the R/T style Chrome Exhaust Tips factory on the 330hp 383 Cars as well ?

  your got one on top of the glove box liner also     good stuff , ( only had one in mine rear seat back )   be careful pulling the glove box liner , should you decide to retrieve it ! , its a  pain    , you have to squish the liner to fit it through the glove box slot in the dash frame ,   doing so the top edge of the glove box liner  scrapes the  top edge of the dash glove box opening ,   easily rip or damage broadcast sheet  , may be with a mirror or something see how its attached at the top etc & go from there 

the liner  comes out at a angle  , right side  corner comes out first , & goes in last ,

[5hunert]

My car had two sheets. The front sheet (behind the kick panel)had no marking on it, while the back seat sheet (from a different car, probably the seat was switched at birth at Creative Industries) had Curley's mark on it.

It was an option as far as I know...

[Ghoste]

Bright exhaust tips were standard on the RT, except in California of course, and were N/A on the XP Chargers.

[myk]

What did California cars have instead of those bright tips?  Turn downs, I'm guessing?

[Ghoste]

Yes, turn downs.

[68pplcharger]

Good to know Ghoste, would a dealer install them if a customer wanted them anyway?

[Ghoste]

I'm sure a dealer would do just about whatever it took to sell a car. 
I think for California it might have been different for the dealers though because that was a noise pollution thing so they would have been creating an illegal car?
