An original 1969 Dodge Charger R/T with a Magnum 440 engine and a 4-speed manual transmission is certainly something that quickly catches the attention of any car aficionado, especially because the production of this particular configuration only included a little over 3,600 units.
And this is exactly what sets it apart from the rest of the crowd, as such a rare Charger is something you don’t see every day. Yet, someone on eBay says they have one of these models, and what’s more, they’re selling it as we speak as part of an online auction.
The Hemi Orange paint obviously doesn’t come in the best shape, and in some photos, there seem to be a bunch of holes in the roof, so checking out how everything is under the vinyl should be a top priority for whoever buys it.
While there’s rust here and there and the owner themselves admit the car “needs lots of panels replaced,” this isn’t necessarily surprising given the Dodge has been sitting since 1998, most likely not in the best conditions.
As it turns out, the car is almost complete, though the tachometer is missing. The same for the carpet, but this isn’t necessarily a bad thing since we can have a closer look at the floors, which judging from the photos in the gallery, look at least decent.
The 440-ci (7.2-liter) engine is spinning, and this is definitely good news, though no other specifics have been provided, so it’s hard to tell right now how much work it’d need to get back in business.
As for the price, this seems to be quite high, as the auction has rapidly attracted several interested buyers. The top bid at the time of writing is $19,000, but with some two days left until the auction comes to an end, the reserve is yet to be met. The car comes with a buy it now price of $24,000.
