Welcome from another Tar Heel (and original owner of 1969 Charger) 'way Down East!

Welcome to B-Bodies! And congratulations on becoming a '69 Charger owner! I am rather new here myself, having just joined during the summer. My wife and I were just 23 each when we bought our '69 Charger new (F3 Light Green Metallic, Black vinyl buckets, 383 HP, 4-speed). We still have it, I...

Update on the restoration. Steve Barr of Barr's Classic Auto Restoration in Greenville, NC picked up the car yesterday. He did a repair and paint job on my '73 MG Midget and did a great job. I expect this one will be just as good.

G'day, Mate! My wife and I spent our 50th anniversary in your part of the world in 2017. Did Melbourne and Alice and Cairns and Sydney, but flew right over Newcastle. Sorry we missed you.

I remember my father-in-law visiting us in Alabama once and bragging about how he had just filled up his car for 15 cents a gallon! We drove CHAHJAH to Denver in July 1973, just after the gas crisis started. I didn't really have any problems on the way out, but once there I had to get up early...

Thanks, Ryan - I see you're not too far away.

I have pretty well reached geezerhood myself. When the car was hit, it was only two years old, and the geezer was in his '80s.

Thanks, Hey-O! I"ve had the pleasure of driving both CHAHJAH and TARHEELY in your state.

CHAHJAH was the actual officially-assigned plate when my Charger was on the road. Having taken it off the road and terminated its registration, I gave up the plate. North Carolina allows a car older than 35 years to use a "year of manufacturing" license plate, and I still have the original...

This is the one that kept me away from the Charger for so long...(note Charger content!)

Thanks. It's my "around town errands car".

Yep!

@69 Sleeper Bee: When I signed up I had to create a name, and 69 Charger was the first thing that came to me, but I was focusing more on the issue with my Charger that caused me to sign up than I was of me. In hindsight, I'm also surprised that name wasn't already taken. Thanks to everyone...

Thanks for the welcome! I did use CHAHJAH as the avatar. Can I change my screen name?

69 Sleeper Bee: The only time I considered selling the Charger was in 1973 during the first gas crisis. Gee, whiz! How could we afford to feed that monster engine at 50 cents per gallon?

I am the original owner of 1969 Dodge Charger, XP29H9B280166, special-ordered at Tait's Huntsville Dodge in Huntsville, Alabama on 15 January 1969. My wife chose the color (Light Green Metallic, Code F3) and she left it to me to order it with the 383 HP engine, 4-speed, and black vinyl. We...
