That sure is a cool looking Charger. I wonder how many silver cars were ordered with a blue interior? That A01 code from your fender tag is the light package. Map, reading, trunk, ash tray, glove box lamps.
 
The tag shows a luggage rack. I was told that is rare. The rack is not on the car but the grommets are still there. They look to be in a different location than the cars I've seen with the rack.

I have to say the seats and door panels look and smell original. You know that smell when you get into a classic car with leather seats.
 
Love them 68 & 69 Chargers ! Who doesn't ?
