1969 Dodge Charger R/T For Sale
The 1969 Dodge Charger didn't change much from the 1968 model. As Motor Trend magazine put it, "That brute Charger styling, that symbol of masculine virility, was still intact." (Of course, those were the good old days when you could say things like that, which would be considered "politically incorrect" today, in the pages of a national magazine!)
For 1969, the Dodge Charger grille was divided into two sections and the taillights were modified a bit. howecer, the fastback Dodge was basically the same good-looking beast as before on the outside. Amazingly, you could get the big fastback with a six-cylinder engine, but only about 500 of those were made. The balance of the cars carried some type of V-8, usually a muscular version.
Inside the Charger, the interior treatment, including the well-designed instrument panel, also had very few changes. There was a large-faced tachometer and the instrument panel gauges were done in white on black to make them stand out very distinctly.
The R/T was the high-performance version of the Charger. The name once again implied its reliability as a street car and its adaptability to weekend dragstrip use. The Charger R/T came only as a two-door hartop coupe with a base price of $3,592 and a factory shipping weight of 3,636 lbs. That include dthe 440-cid Magnum V-8, with a four-barrel carburetor, hooked to a three-speed TourqueFlite automatic transmission. Also included as part of the R/T package were low-restriction dual exhausts with chrome tips, heavypduty manually adjusted drum brakes, F70-14 Red Line tires, the R/T heavy-duty handling package and bumblebee stripes.
With a 3.55:1 rear axle, the standard-equipped 440-powered model (which came with a column-mounted gear shift lever no less) was found capable of running down the quarter-mile in 13.9 seconds at 101.4 mph. The R/T was the only Charger available with the Hemi V-8 engine again this year. The 426-cid/425-hp powerhouse had a $648 price tag in 1969.
Charger R/T production went from the 1969 total of 17,582 units up to 20,057 units. A new option package for Chargers that was also available on the R/T models was the SE (or Special Edition) interior with leather bucket seats, lots of extra lights and wood-grained trim pieces. Sinking in popularity to 400 production units was the Hemi Charger R/T. Around 192 of the Hemi-powered Mopar cars had four-speed manual transmissions in 1969 and more changes were on the way for 1970 Chargers!
