HA! Can you imagine showing this in today's PC environment? Dodge had superb styling and power. Miss those days....

What a treat!!! Thanks for the vid! As a guy that had a '69 in the late '70s, this is awesome!

I’ve been waiting for this one for so long because it’s my favorite car of all time and the fact they never really displayed the ‘70 model in particular is a shame ! Thank you thank you so much, I can’t get enough of this beautiful machine

[@josiaevans]

Did anybody read the newspaper article at 1:27? It's kinda crazy lol. Btw I love these videos on this channel and thank you for posting them!

[@1967davethewave]

I didn't think they offered the '70 Charger with a body color front bumper, at least I've never seen one before.

[@rightlanehog3151]

It is hard to imagine one of these Chargers with a Slant 6 and three on the tree.

[@rightlanehog3151]

@David Laurie Undoubtedly it had non-power drum brakes at every corner and no power steering either. ;)

[@helvehammer7846]

Hey I sat in driver's seat of a purple Daytona. Slant six, column shift Torqueflite and the bench seat was covered with black textured rubber. WTF I said at the time and my brother clued me that it existed because of NHRA rules only.

[@kylesoler4139]

It looks like all of the generations had a 6 cylinder option excluding the first, the fourth and the FWD one.

[@helvehammer7846]

@@1967davethewave Honestly I don't know why I said slant-six - it had a 318. It definitely had the bullet nose - could it have been a Superbird ? DEFINITELY: purple, black rubber bench seat, column shift, 318 and bullet nose. Dealer was in Kansas City Kansas (and is now gone )

[@davecee4459]

That was probably the one they used in the last part of the Chase Scene in the Movie Bullet . Remember where after the mustang wiped out and was still able to catch up to the slant 6 Charger so easily.

[@mattfarahsmillionmilelexus]

The body color front bumper (not offered) with the wire wheel covers and the redlines sure made for a unique R/T.

[@williswhatchutalkinbout4367]

Matt Farah's Million Mile Lexus yea. Wonder why they never made that an option. They did in 71!

[@That_AMC_Guy]

Also no 15x7 Magnums in '70. They only came as 14x6. Had to step up to the Rallye wheels to get 15x7 size. But I get the impression this ad predates the creation of the Rallye wheel.

[@georgeszaslavsky]

[@AnthonyEvelyn]

Keep em coming! Love these videos.

[@kingelvis7035]

More wampum for six pack or Hemi-go! This is genius.

[@That_AMC_Guy]

Wait... What?!?! 15-inch CHROME Magnum 500 Road Wheels? Gotta love these early/pre-production films. That was never an option! Neat to see a Charger wearing early "No-Size" Polyglas GT tires. This was definitely filmed the summer of 1969! Anybody else catch the PAINTED loop bumper on the R/T at 8:53 ? I love this stuff!

[@goolamamuda9208]

Good catch. Pre-production stuff always grabs my attention too. I didn't realize the wheel/tire stuff but the painted bumper stood out right away.

[@sixtysevendodge]

What COULD come with those magnum 500 wheels? Different years/models?

[@That_AMC_Guy]

@@sixtysevendodge No Mopar could come with Chrome, 15-inch Magnums. That became a Ford-specific option as they were the only ones to offer such a wheel. GM only offered a 14-inch Magnum and Mopar too stuck with the 14-inch, painted Magnum. I can only speculate that this film pre-dates Mopar deciding to make (or offer) their own 14-inch or 15-inch "Rallye" wheels on the Charger. The only way to get a factory-offered 15-inch wheel in this era was to get the Rallye Wheel.

[@jhancock1575]

A 3 speed column shifter standard on the 6 and 318 V8. On a Charger?I’ve never seen a “3 on a tree” on any Charger from this era.

Did anyone notice at 8:01 the Left Side (drivers side) Parking Light was not working??? lol 😝

[@Moparmaga-1]

Charger is the great white shark of the muscle cars.

[@leecrt967]

Great car, cornball sales presentation.

[@jpguthrie6669]

I had a '70 R/T in Sublime Green, with the white vinyl top, white stripe, and white interior. It had the 440 magnum, and Super Track Pack, with the Dana 60 and 4.11 gears. Oddly, it also had all the SE options. with power windows, and, get this, power seats. How much did this car cost me when I bought it in clean condition from the original owner in the mid 80's? $700....

[@wesgtx440]

4.10 gears, no 4.11 in Dana 60

[@jpguthrie6669]

​@@wesgtx440 Excuse the typo, I've owned literally dozens of Mopars, though the last one was some 25 years ago. If you lived in Southern California, I was a member of the Direct Connection car club, and used to work at R Family Dodge in Huntington Beach.

[@mattfarahsmillionmilelexus]

Bet you wish you kept that one.

[@1967davethewave]

I bought a '69 R/T in 1981 for $50. The guy was asking $75 but I talked him down to $50 because he couldn't find the title. It was R4 red, 440, A/C, disc brakes, black vinyl top with a black R/T stripe. It didn't run for that money but was rust free, excellent condition body. I was too young to do much with it and my dad eventually sold it when I went away to college. The worst part is he sold it to the junk yard and when I went to try and buy it back a couple of years later it had been crushed. I still have a hard time talking to my dad about that.

[@freesoul3371]

1980's was the price low point for muscle cars. I graduated in 1979 and gas prices were shooting up with the opec crisis and people wanted more fuel efficient cars. I had a buddy with a 69 Chevelle 396 4 spd black in and out. He sold it in 1980 and got a suburu brat that had 4wd so he could drive on the beach and fish stripers. The only people that were buying muscle cars were hot rod enthusiasts and these cars were a dime a dozen if you wanted one.

[@steelhorsecountry5245]

Well yeah, for 2020 please come back with the 2 door Charger 500 and 2 door Charger R/T Someone has to build cars as others going to SUV's. A big 2 door sport touring. I bought an old 73' Pontiac Grand Am that handle very well with same Trans Am 400 V8. Chrysler if you have your ear on please make more 2 door rear wheel cars our kids need to have fun we all had!

[@thebionicbassplayer]

Hilarious, I once took a class from an instructor who worked at Ross Roy. It's amazing they took a dealer film on a Charger and made it so creative.

[@fairfaxcat1312]

This is a Dodge Charger Dealer Information film to heap dealers learn about the products they will be selling and servicing. They will be selling the Dodge Charger. It is a fairly large car which is also sporty. It particularly appealed to younger customers. The idea was to help the dealers and the motor company sell the car to the customers. The more cars they sold the more money everyone would earn. The car was popular and it was featured in the late ‘70’s and early ‘80’s hit television show called “The Dukes of Hazzard.” The show was not particularly intellectually challenging but it was funny and heavily watched.
