“Extremely original” 1969 Dodge Charger shines with matching numbers and rare color combination

The 1969 Dodge Charger was produced in 104,978 units and is one of the most common versions of this type. It is a common sight at classic car shows and auction events, and some of them are also left to rot in junkyards. But there is one type of 1969 Charger that you don’t see very often. I’m talking about very original cars.

This F8 green example isn’t exactly a survivor. This car has been completely restored and its interior has been redone. However, the process didn’t include repainting the exterior, which still shows all the patina it acquired over several decades. The body is now protected from rust thanks to clearcoating, but the Charger looks like it spent a lot of time in a barn. And that’s very cool.

Mopar expert Dave Wise documented this Charger as “extremely original.” It’s unclear how much restoration work went into the impressively clean cabin, but under the body, the vehicle is highly original. And I’m not just talking about a numbers-matching block. The V8 still rocks with its original components, and nearly everything you see under the hood was installed by the factory.

Yes, this Mopar uses a fairly generic 383-cubic-inch (6.3-liter) V8 instead of a rare HEMI or 440-cubic-inch (7.2-liter) RB, but this has to be one of the most authentic entry-level big-block engines around. Of course, the three-speed automatic that sends the power to the rear wheels is also numbers-matching.

In addition, this Charger has a rare color combination. While the F8 Dark Green Metallic is common on 1969 Chargers, it’s paired with a matching interior. And while the term “triple green” applies to cars without a vinyl roof, this Charger has a green one. Dodge hasn’t kept detailed production records for colors and vinyl roofs, but experts agree that green is the rarest vinyl roof color, next to alligator grain. I’d say fewer than 100 were ordered with this exact color combination.

Granted, the car would look much better with the original wheels, but that’s easy to swap out and the right wheels are easy to find. The Charger is apparently for sale, but there’s no information on pricing or other details.

Of course, this Mopar shouldn’t be as expensive as a HEMI, which can fetch anywhere from $150,000 to $275,000 depending on condition and originality. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if this car had a price tag that said “$100,000.” The market is pretty unpredictable these days, and even non-HEMI vehicles change hands for a lot of money at public auctions.
