This Is How It Feels to Drive a Fully Restored 1969 Dodge Charger 440 V8 SE Auto

And until this happens, it’s the technology that makes dreams come true, as the people over at Retro Classic Car have created a POV video to let us feel what it’s like to drive a fully restored 1969 Dodge Charger 440 V8 SE auto.

While we’re not going to comment too much on the video because we don’t want to provide any spoilers, there’s one thing that needs to be mentioned here: make sure you use your headphones when watching this because you’ll definitely be surprised.

This Charger 440 V8 has been part of an extensive restoration project that was finalized in late 2019, and according to Retro Classic Car, the total costs reached £41000 ($50,930).

And it makes sense given how many improvements it received. While you can find a detailed look at the entire restoration on this page, worth highlighting is the engine work.

The 440 (7.2-liter) V8 engine was rebuilt with a new Edelbrock carburetor, inlet manifold and air cleaner, after which it was painted and detailed. And since the car also received a dual 3-inch stainless steel Flowmaster American Thunder exhaust, it’s no wonder the engine sounds so good.

For what it’s worth, this Sublime Green Charger has only 200 miles (321 km) on the clock, so it’s literally a brand-new car, of course, after the full restoration was completed.

If you actually like this Charger and thinking about buying it, you can’t. The car has already been sold, so the experience that you see in the video here is already part of somebody else’s life. The listing price was close to £50,000 ($62,120), but given all of the above, it’s clearly worth the money.
