... I remember filling My 1969 Roadrunners 20 gallon
tank with premium gas for $7.20! If it was a gas war, gas was .18c a
gallon!


383 with only a Carter four barrel. 1969. Hurst 4 speed. Radio
and heater. Power steering? Memory lapse on that. No AC. Beep Beep.


Mine came with the 440 and pistol grip four speed, no A/C, bucket seats.
I paid $2600.00 in 1969 money, and sold it for $850.00 in 1972.
I wish I had it now!


'69 Charger 383 w/ 4bbl Holley, 6-way (manual) adjustable bucket seats,
A/C w/ "Rallye" suspension. Ordered set up specifically for interstate
driving as had just moved to VA and both sets of grandparents were still
in SW KS so were making at least two if not three trips 1200+ one-way
each year.

And, yes, I also wish still had it...noticed a pristine similar went for
nearly $50K not too long ago.
