In 1969, for just $3,109 you could have owned a car like this with the factory 383 V8. If you somehow had an extra $162 burning a hole in your pocket, you could have driven off the lot with this exact car featuring the Special Edition package. The second-generation chargers are regarded as the best models to hit the pavement, and the 1969 is a classic example of sheer beauty and muscle. Located in Omaha, Nebraska, it has a current bid of $35, 200, and you can see more here on eBay.

Many regard certain trim level’s of second-generation Chargers as the greatest muscle car’s to grace the roadways. We’re mainly talking R/T’s and Daytona here, but 1969 SEs are welcome additions to any collectors’ arsenal or everyday car guys’ garage. The Dodge Charger started as a show car, and within 4 years was pushing out some of the most stylistic coke-bottle coupes, regarded as some of the most coveted cars in today’s auto world.  This car was going to be Dodge’s upscale and up-sized primary answer to the successful role out’s of the Cougars and Mustangs of the time. There’s just no questioning the aggressive appearance of this vehicle, and Dodge truly made a name for themselves in the latter portion of the 1960s by combining performance, style, and luxury.

This particular Charger seems to be a great candidate for the Mopar lover who wants to hit the pavement right away, while also doing some of their own work at their leisure to bring it back to tip-top shape. On the surface, it’s quite appealing, even on the inside. A paint job has been completed at some point, but some bodywork is still very much needed. You’ll see some minor blemishes here and there, a little rust on some wheel wells, and it was possibly bumped in the rear after said paint job. The rest looks pretty nice, and it shouldn’t take too much to get this some second looks at the next car show. The inside is certainly a step back in time with that classic tan shade of brown, and first impressions are that everything seems pretty sound. If shifting that automatic in the air isn’t your thing, the owner states they’ll throw in gear to get that transferred to the floor, as well as factory wheels at no extra cost.

Under the hood you’ll find the same 383 that rolled off the line all nice and shiny, growling as it pushed 290hp with 390lb-ft of torque. There don’t seem to be any major red flags inside the bay at first glance, and there are no mentions of any issues. On the contrary, the seller states that “the car runs and drives great.” Of course, further inspection may reveal some unknowns, and it would be nice to get an idea of what the underside looks like, but there doesn’t seem to be anything in desperate need of attention. Some other things worth noting for this 1969 Charger are an all-original body, a clean title, and unblemished seats. The average value of a 1969 SE in this condition hovers around $38k, and this car is approaching that number just at the time of writing this article. Picture yourself behind the wheel of this machine with Creedence Clearwater Revival cranked up, and the wind blowing through your hair.
