So here are some pics of my '69 Charger 4-speed' project

[CB]

Just before Chuck trashed/sold/parted out/... my car j/k 


1969 Charger 383-4bbl 4-speed
Charger Red/white top/white interior


I gonna need to replace the trunk floor and swap the '68 fender and redo the interior but otherwise it looks ok for a driver

front view, bumper needs replaced, I-piece is a bit ugly...




rear view, bumper needs to be rechromed but is straight, I hate those exhaust pipes




nice straight body, no rotted areas found @ this time, some trim missing tho, nope it is not an R/T






top view




exhaust has cut outs...



frames and floors are mint

 wow floors look real good ..  .. whats the plan  restore it back to stock , fender tag specs  or ...... not sure but don't think many xp h code 4 speeds were built   .....

[CB]

A 100% restoration is out of the question (# matching engine is gone) and not my intention.

Would like to keep the stock look with red/white exterior and white interior
It now has a sure grip and MSD ignition.

Don't know about the production numbers, anyone?

When CB asked if I would check out this car for him I took over 95 pictures inside and out.   I laid on the dirty ground for them and then I went over the entire car with my magnet.   I went for a ride, checked all lights and made a video as well.  This was a very close inspection because I knew that if he got a car he would leave it with me.    So I wanted the best car that CB's money could buy.        Chuck...............

That's a really good looking car man. I'm with you on the turndowns though . . .

And you know my opinion.....shifter stick Chargers RULE!!!!!

[Ghoste]

Looks like it woud have been a nice car.  Too bad about it getting parted out as soon as you turned your back.  At least you know that most of that stuff went to a good bunch of guys... us.

Wow, CB........looks like you found a really nice solid 4 speed Charger.  Those floor pans and frame rails look fantastic!!!!!  Great move in picking up the car.

.... not sure but don't think many xp h code 4 speeds were built   .....

3,579 were made out of a total of 69,142 1969 XP's.

Very nice, CB. Too bad it was parted out....

Thanks guys for the compliments!
Yea I love that sheetmetal too 

@ Dan:
So I got 1 of the 3,579 4spd Charger built? Cool!
Maybe less rare then that SF '68 4pd but it's still a rare car.

Thanks

CB,
Glad to see you found a nice Charger, looks good. If I would have known you were looking for a new one I would have had you over to look at mine. The next time you come to the States, get in touch.

Well actually I am hoping to fly back to Vegas again in March '09 for the MATS.
From Nevada to Pennsylvania is just a few hours drive, huh? It's just ~2.300 miles

MoparManJim...CB knows it is quite a haul to Pittsburg from Vegas. It is just that the sense of humor of _Europeans are a bit different from ours. See the thread about parting out his new purchase. Right CB?

CB,
Just take some extra time and drive across our great country and come and stay with us a few days. I'll have some friends over and show you some Pennsylvania hospitality. My wife is a good cook and the beer is cold.
