How many 1969 Dodge Chargers do you suppose are left in the World?

[ChgrSteve67]

I think there are more than enought for a few more Dukes of Hazard movies.

Dynacorn will repop the 2nd-gen Charger unibody sooner or later.  It's only a matter of time.

And how many have left the country and go on to Europe and so on.. Did Dodge make Chargers for other country's? Like Mexico, Canada.. or is the total number of chargers you said earlier, 90k include exported ones?

[Brock Lee]

There are easily 12 registered, drivable, 1969 Chargers within 20 miles of my house.

We still have quite a few of them left.  We are short of people willing to spend $20-40K to restore them all. 

That's simple economics... Why drop $40k into a car that isn't going to be worth much more than 1/2 the whole investment? Take this car, for example:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1969-69-Dodge-CHARGER-SE-R-T-clone-440-Big-Block-Engine-BEAUTIFUL-restoration-/130593560794?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item1e67fb98da#ht_2956wt_1167

They say they have $100k invested, appraised for $50k, but will take $30k... Trouble is, the car isn't selling, as it's been re-listed again...

This car was bought in rough shape in 2001 (from North Carolina), and was a project car for several years during which it was restored to excellent condition.

I have foolishly spent close to $100K restoring this car (I have kept all receipts, but have been too afraid to add them all up!). It was recently appraised for half that amount, proving once again that it's much cheaper to buy a FULLY-RESTORED classic car than to restore it yourself (if I could only turn back time!).

Quite sad, actually, as the car looks decent in pics. However, what's it really worth?  Sorry, a bit off topic...

I don't think he even mentioned theres no heater core?  What else is missing?

And here in Holland we got a few chargers see Charger.nl
I think 20.000 world wide

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

I know of over 2500 of them (incl Daytona's & 500's)

Do you register all 1969 Chargers, or only ones that are reported to you?

How do your #s compare w Wayne's from TDC Reg.?

Both...owners register their cars & what ever I come across at shows or on the net.
I have no idea what Wayne has as he registers all Chargers

Now this is great... New battery strap? A 99-cent rubber bungee cord really counts?  Really? What else was skimped? 

Now for THE GOOD STUFF:

ENGINE:

...New battery, battery tray, restraining strap, and cables.

Cool. Arduous task, for sure! Thank you for taking this on!

Well, I know a lot of them got scrapped in the '80s.  My in-laws own some wrecking yards, and I asked about chargers over the years.  They told me they crushed quite a few back when I was in high school (oh to have been dating my wife at a younger age...... )

Also, when I bought mine, the guy I bought it from had 9 more '69 chargers!  That was in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 2004. 

Other than a Daytona clone, and a real Daytona that our car club president has, I almost never see any '69 chargers around the area where I live (Salem, OR), but I do see a '68 or '70 once in a while.

I think the only other '69s I have seen have been at car shows, and they were not local.  One guy drove up from California.

Maybe it's just that the people who have them don't drive them anymore (which would be a shame).  I know these cars represent an investment as well as a lot of hard work / time, but it just seems like a waste to have a car like a classic charger and not drive the thing.

My guess is worldwide, maybe 15,000.

[69bronzeT5]

I have 1. I know of 5 sitting but all complete....3 of them Hemi R/Ts (all on the same property. I've seen atleast 8-9 different ones around in person. The guy I got my Charger from 12 years ago owns 2 R/Ts.

Dang, one guy has 3 Hemi chargers?

Yep....crazy eh?

Well, to be fair, it lost at least 50k of value when that douchebag playboy sticker went on the back.  Scrape that shit off and watch it sell...
