Title: charger 500
Post by: 69 500 on January 13, 2018, 11:28:59 PM
anybody know why the some of the early 500's have a hole just above the three speed wiper motor and what it might be for?

No one has been able to figure this out.  It wasn't just on Charger 500s, it was across all B-Bodies in all plants.  I used to have a 1969 Coronet 500 convertible that had it, build date was 830.  Current theory is it was for an option that was to be offered but ended up not happening.  The hole is the same size as a Vacuum hose hole on a Charger, the same grommet fits.

Notice that your car has the holes in the upper grille support panel for the 69 hood latch.
