The Dodge Charger was one of the success stories of the 1960s. After a slow start in 1966-67, sales of the Charger took off in 1968-70 when Chrysler’s B-bodied intermediates were redesigned. More than 89,000 Chargers were produced in 1969 compared to 16,000 just two years earlier. The seller offers a ’69 Charger R/T, which is also an SE, meaning it has a higher level of trim. It looks to have been nicely restored, but maybe not 100%. Located in Dallas, Texas, this beautiful Dodge (we think; the photos are disappointing and none show the entire vehicle) is available here on eBay, where the reserve is unmet at $56,600.

If you wanted performance, the R/T (Road/Track) model was the way to go. It came with a 440 cubic inch V8 as standard fare, and a good many of them were paired with a TorqueFlite automatic transmission. That was the case with the seller’s car, which is said to be numbers-matching. We’re told this Mopar was stored in a garage for 35 years in New England before a restoration was undertaken (no “before” pics are included). The seller says that work was started in 2021 and was completed the following year, and both rear quarter panels were replaced.

When the car was redone, it was refinished in its factory color, Y4 Gold Poly (which reportedly cost $8,000, though we don’t know how much was in prep work). When the seller purchased the car, the odometer read 85,800 miles. The seller had it reset to “zero,” and it only shows 592 now. This Charger is fully loaded, including all the SE goodies. The car’s factory A/C has been redone at a cost of $4,700 (that’s some “cool” cash!). But the A/C clutch is starting to make noise and may need further work.

The Charger sports a set of Magnum 500 wheels, complete with Coker “Goodyear” tires. There are a few flaws, such as the rear bumper, which has begun to delaminate. One or more door panels are in need of “repair,” a couple of control knobs are missing, and the transmission linkage and brakes need adjusting. The radiator is aftermarket, and the original has been kept, though it’s beyond reuse. So, if you’re looking for a sharp 2nd-generation Charger R/T, this is a nice one. But not Concours perfect.
