Test Drive 1969 RT Charger 440 Maple Motors SOLD FAST

[@jonnyboat2]

It was 1978 and I was sitting with my friend in his built 1968 blue 327 Chevelle SS while stuck in traffic on a busy 2 lane road after a farm show. Another friend of mine had a 1969 Charger R/T that went flying by us as he tried to get ahead of the long line of exiting traffic. I'll never forget seeing his tail lights flying down the on coming lane until I saw him whip hard to get back into the right side lane. Then, I saw his headlights and then his tail lights and then his headlights and tail lights again and then he flew off the road down the bank and into a field. He was lucky. He landed pointing straight ahead and no one was injured, but his car was about thirty feet below the highway down the bank. I'll never forget that night. His girlfriend was horrified and shaking like a leaf as we helped her out of the car and up the bank. I wonder to this day how he got his car out of that field. We were lucky, stupid kids.

FINALLY YALL GOT MY FAVORITE CHARGER!!! My fav years 68 to 70. All time fav 💪🏼car!! Hope you get more in stock...sweet!

[@ragrle]

Yeah it's a pretty good looking one, years ago my uncle had a six pack of these cars.

[@BrianKliewer]

A friend had a '74 Charger. It really lit up the neighborhood. This one's a beauty!

[@bbb462cid]

Few cars have their proportions as perfectly matched to every view of the car as the 1969 Charger. Handsome automobile. Not pretty, nothing feminine about it.

[@unboughtunbossed1841]

Radical looking

[@jodihouts9560]

Man they did it again. Fantastic. Maybe you can raise your cars and trucks by $1,.000 per unit. Then you sell 15 units and you can bank it for me and I can pick out my car. My dad always says it does not hurt to ask.

[@kevinwood3515]

The holes underneath the R/T decal is were the R/T emblems go, that car didn't come with a bumble bee stripe.

[@1967davethewave]

It must have been an original stripe delete car because of the holes in the quarter panels. I prefer the stripe for sure. Very classic Mopar stuff!!!

[@joedq]

Beautiful Charger, a dream car for sure. Love your channel.

[@msantiago5150]

I’m a Chevy Guy but this magnificent car I could make an exception 👍🏻👍🏻

[@mikesteelheart]

You could buy that for like $1500 from 1977-1982. Jealous of people who were hot rodding back then. 😭

[@1967davethewave]

I bought one identical to this one except it had A/C, Tic Tock Tach and factory power disc brakes but the same color and everything. It needed a new engine. That was in 1981. The guy wanted $75. I was only 13 so my dad was helping me negotiate the deal. He talked the guy down to $50 because he had lost the title. The car was beautiful and rust free, but it was only 12 years old at that time.

I bought my first car, 1969 Dodge Charger 383 Magnum 4 speed in 1975 for $1,200. I sold my 69 Charger in 1976 for $1,000. Biggest mistake of my life.

[@jeffjackson9679]

Just curious, why did you sell it so quickly? (Please tell me you didn't trade it in for a Mustang II lol)

[@TC-eo5eb]

@@jeffjackson9679 I had the Charger for about a year and a half. I sold it to buy a 67 Chevelle Malibu. I had the Chevelle for about 4 years and sold it around 1980 for $2,500. The Chevelle changed hands multiple times since then and is actually still here in town. A guy I know still owns it. Since then, I have owned a 1979 Trans Am, a white1982 Monte Carlo SS, a black 1987 Monte Carlo SS and most recently a Lemans Blue 73 Corvette which I just sold in July.

Several comments on it's not fair it sold so fast. So here's a gut check...To each that feel that way, if the buyer was stuck by lightning tonight and thereby never came through to complete the sale and it becomes available again tomorrow at the same price, would you put down a non refundable deposit? What would you do? Be honest with yourself knowing that these cars sell fast. Can you handle that kind of pressure? Comment below, what would you do?

The money

[@288gto7]

If anybody knows can you please tell me why every car of that era has a massive gap between the radiator and the grill. Its just empty space why didnt they just make it shorter instead since there isnt even anything in there to begin with. Is it about something to do with crash?

[@1967davethewave]

It was just about the styling cues back then as well as the status quo. They wanted cars to be a certain overall length because that was the size and category they would market them at. And to compete with the other manufacturers they stuck to the play book. Remember, there were no compacts or subcompacts made in America back then and no one ever expected any from American car companies. The 69 Charger is so iconic but it was an aerodynamic disaster because they were far more interested in the looks over the function as all American cars from that era were. Have you ever seen the 69 Daytona or the 70 Superbird? It took all of those modifications to straighten out the issues with aerodynamics. And every muscle car was the same regardless of make. When you hear stories about guys driving these cars over 150mph take them with a grain of salt. Maybe the old cable driven speedometers read that fast but in reality they were so uncontrollable at speeds that high that it's pretty doubtful they actually took them that fast.

[@288gto7]

@@1967davethewave its not just us cars though. European cars even small ones also had the same thing. Ford Taunus P4,P5,P6, P7A/B. Opel Rekord B/C Ford cortina Mk1etc. Cortina was a pretty small car same thing for P4 and P6. Would be weird to waste all that space on a small size car just for looks but maybe that is indeed the reason on euro cars as well, i dont really know
