1969 Dodge Charger For Sale
The 69 Dodge Charger 500 was a limited production model based on the restyled 1968 Charger. Either 32 or 35 of these cars were outfitted with a Hemi (depending on who you choose to believe). Either way they are extremely valuable today. As for the Charger Daytona - it was created with one thing in mind, performance! Not much changed between the 1968 and 1969 Dodge Charger R/T though. The car was still only available as a coupe and came standard with a 440-cid Magnum V-8 engine. For only $648 more, the buyer could go all out and order the Hemi motor package.

One of Chrysler's famous "winged warriors" was the Dodge Charger Daytona -- the ultimate expression of the Charger 500's built-for-racing inspiration. Shortly after the Dodge Charger 500 debuted in 1969, Ford Motor Company launched the Torino Talladega and Mercury Cyclone Spoiler models. Both FoMoCo products had superior aerodynamics, which helped them to outrun the slippery Charger 500s in enough races (including the Daytona 500) to take the National Association of Stock Car Automobile Racing title. The '69 Charger Daytona wa sdesigned to get the NASCAR championship back.
A company named Creative Industries received the contract to build 500 Daytonas to legalize the 200-mph body modifications for stock car competition. The rear window was flush, rather than tunneled. The front fenders and hood were lengthened and dipped lower in front. The front air intake was lower. Reinforced-plastic parts were used on the front-end extension and hood parts. The concealed headlights popped up like bug eyes. The hood featured a fresh air intake similar to the NASA inlets employed on aircraft. The hood and fenders had cooling vents. At the rear was an airfoil/spoiler of fin-and-wing that provided greater aerodynamic stability. Dodge press releases noted the modifications had been submitted to NASCAR for approval.
Richard Brickhouse won the Talladega 500 with an average speed of 153.778 mph. Jim Vandiver was secdond in Ray Fox's Dodge Charger 500. Brickhouse ran laps as high as 197 mph. Dodges took the first four places and a Plymouth was fifth. For the year, the Daytonas and Superbirds won 14 races on the big tracks. Buddy Baker's Daytona was also first to officially hit the 200-mph closed-course mark, at Talladega, on March 24, 1970. The winged cars won so many races that NASCAR outlawed the Hemi as well as wedge engines with piston displacements over 305 cubic inches.
Experts say that total production of Daytonas was 503 units. Officially, 433 cars with base 375-hp 440 Magnum V-8s were built for the streets and 70 were turned out with Hemi V-8s under their snout. The breakout as to how many of the hemi Daytonas had four-speed manual or automatic transmissions was 22 and 48, respectively. One yellow Daytona, with 5,000 original miles, has been documented to be a car with a dealer-installed 440 Six-Pack V-8. Dodge did not, however, offer this set up as a factory option.
