Let's talk about a 1969 Charger SE vs base vs R/T

[SteveSS]

So my '69 Charger is a Special Edition. Here's what I know. It's silver with a black vinyl top. 383 I think it had a two barrel carb. It has a 4 bbl now. A blue leather interior. That's weird but I've seen it occasionally. It has a rear stripe but I don't think that's original. It has buckets with a center console with the AT shifter on the console. Just under 100k miles. A pretty highway friendly rear gear. It has turn signal indicators on the hood. I believe it's matching numbers but I never verified it. AM radio. It's been off the road for a while waiting some improvements.

I can't find a list of what the SE package included and what the options were for this model.

A 383 two barrel car was 290 HP verses a 375 HP 440 Magnum in the R/T. The transmission would be a standard big block torqueflight verses a Hemi spec torqueflight. The standard B body suspension,verses the heavy duty suspension. The 383 car would most likely have a 2.76 open rear axle,verses a 3.23 suregrip rear axle in the R/T,a 3.55 suregrip rear axle was optional on the R/T model. The brakes would be 10 inch drum brakes,verses 11 inch heavy duty drum brakes,unless ordered with the 4 piston disk brakes which came with 10 inch rear brakes. Dual exhaust was standard on the R/T single exhaust on the 383 two barrel car. R/T cars would have a heavy duty cooling package,verses the standard two core radiator on the 383 two barrel car. The Special Edition package was also available on the R/T model too. The tailstripe was only available on the R/T model.

69 Charger SE cars didn't have the woodgrain door panels like the 70 SE cars did

Oops, true. I missed the 69 part. Just had S.E. on the brain. Probably had 70 on the brain since 3 of mine are 70 S.E.'s.
