1969 Dodge Charger 383 8 Cyl

I have for sale my 1969 Dodge Charger SE that originally came with a rare combination of options which include the SE (Special Edition) trim package, a 383 High Performance big block motor, column shift automatic transmission, no air conditioning, and painted in the spring only F6 green paint. The 383 engine in the car now is not the numbers matching engine and the fender tag is missing. Though this is not a 1 of 1 type rare Charger, with this combination of options it would’ve indeed been a rare car. I very recently bought this car and was looking forward to tinkering with it and enjoying it this summer. However, as fate would have it a car I’ve been trying to buy for a very long time is now on the market and I’m going to have to let go of my brand new project in pursuit of a bigger fish in the Mopar pond. As described by the previous owner, this is a reliable car that has been driven as a daily driver in the not distant past. I’ve not put many miles on it as of yet, but the car starts well, drives well, stops well and has practically brand new tires on a good looking set of slotted mag wheels. I would classify this car as a ‘driver’ caliber car. It is a very solid car overall. The frame rails and floor pans as well as the back glass area appear to be very nice. There is some rust in the trunk but it isn’t very bad and is concentrated in the center of the trunk. This makes for a very easy patch which can be done from frame rail to frame rail. There are rust bubbles in the lower quarter panels on both sides that are small enough in scope and size that a patch panel will take care of the problem. From my inspection of the car, that appears to be the majority of the rust issues. A car with this minimal amount of rust will make for an easy restoration or just leave the car as it is and drive it and enjoy it. The paint on the car is fairly heavily oxidized and needs to be buffed out to regain a good gloss.
