1969 Dodge Charger R/T review from North America
"Great Looker, Gas Guzzler, Money Pit &FUN!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Let me start by saying I bought it after it sat in a driveway since 1980 with no engine and bad body rust...
Here's what I've either replaced or am soon to replace:
Rebuilt 727 TF 3spd Trans
Originally a 318 car now a 440
Both door skins
Both rear quarters
Hood
Brake System
Drive-shaft
Grille &rear valance panel
Paint
A lot of other cosmetic things.
General comments?
I bought it for $250 and flat-towed it home behind my Jeep which was fairly interesting, pretty comfy except for the spring in the butt feeling.
I have yet to drive it, but I often sit behind the wheel and listen to the motor which is like being teased.
The heater and the air conditioner could be better, but what do you expect from a 40 year old car.
Really set low and it feels like a boat when you look out over that long hood.
