This 1969 Dodge Charger began life as a 440-powered R/T SE example that was produced in St. Louis, Missouri, and it was acquired by the seller in 2006. The car underwent a subsequent refurbishment that included refinishing the exterior in yellow with black stripes and a black vinyl roof, replacing the interior, and installation of a 446ci V8 and three-speed automatic transmission. Additional equipment includes a Sure Grip rear end, American Racing wheels, coilover suspension, disc brakes with Wilwood calipers, and more as described below.
Delivered from the factory in yellow (Y2), the body was refinished during the refurbishment according to the seller. Features include a black vinyl top, matching tail stripes, and concealed headlights.
Staggered-width 17″ American Racing wheels are finished in black with polished lips, and they are mounted with Nitto NT40 tires measuring 225/50 in the front and 275/50 at the rear. Cross-drilled and slotted disc brakes with Wilwood calipers are mounted at each corner.
The interior features replacement black vinyl upholstery sourced from Legendary Auto Interiors of Newark, New York, and woodgrain trim and brushed-aluminum accents adorn the dashboard and center console, the latter of which houses the floor shifter for the three-speed automatic transmission. Additional equipment includes power steering, an AM radio with an 8-track player, a 6-way adjustable driver’s seat, and a Tic-Toc-Tach.
Instrumentation consists of a 150-mph speedometer and gauges to monitor fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and alternator charge. The five-digit odometer indicates over 2k miles, and true mileage is unknown.
The replacement Mopar V8 has been rebuilt to a displacement of 446 cubic inches, with a bore measurement of 4.350″ and a stroke of 3.75″. Features included an Edelbrock intake topped with a Holley 750cfm carburetor, a Comp Cams Nostalgia camshaft, Mopar Performance valve covers, and a serpentine belt assembly sourced from March Performance. Additional equipment includes ceramic-coated exhaust headers feeding a TTI X-pipe dual exhaust system. The fuel pump was replaced in 2020.
Power is routed to the rear wheels via a replacement 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission and a Sure Grip differential equipped with 3.23:1 gearing. Further updates include an AlterKtion suspension kit from Reilly Motorsports featuring adjustable coilover shocks, rear lowering springs, a front sway bar, and replacement steering components.
