69 Charger 500 Barn Find

[69F8C500]

Hello All, New to the Forum. I'm trying to get info on my fathers 1969 Dodge Charger 500. He bought it about 9 years ago from the guy who had owned it since 1979. The car came from Louisiana, Missouri. We bought it out of Elsberry, Missouri. It's pretty rough, unfortunately. No fender tag also. From what we can tell, it was a 440 auto, F8 Green with a F8 interior.. this car will be up at MCACN this year in the Barn Finds Section.

Yep, I'm his son. He doesn't do much with the internet so I'm sort of his representative.

The VIN is XX29L9B157506, we would like to get a fender tag made for it, by looking at the car we know what options it had on it, it's the build date and sequence number that are tricky.

A bit earlier than mine... Tags Back East are your guys to do the tag. Finding a couple cars with very close build dates should help you narrow it down for SPD etc

Your build date looks like 9/27/68

Thanks, we know that it was a very basic car, no light package, no A/C, 2 speed wipers. It did have a console. We looked for a build sheet, but no luck. We haven't looked on top of the glove box, I highly doubt it would be there.

Taped behind the glove box is a common place - I would check there. Also behind the bucket seat-backs, behind the rear seat, under the carpet in front foot wells....

Looked in the back seats and the backs of the front seats, no luck. The carpet was replaced with some yellow shag carpeting in the mid 70s. The car sat outside for 20 years so I don't have much hope.

Check this out for info. Your car is in a group of VINS. I think build date is resolved

F8 one step closer to catching R4 for most produced color

hello & welcome

Build date isn't an issue. Can't get a tag made though without the VON. Which at this point you would be wildly guessing at. It could be a slightly educated guess, but still would be a guess. Better to not have a tag made up without knowing the exact information to have put on it.

its not as much of an issue for now, but years down the road, once its changed hands a few times it is an issue because people start believing that the tag is factual.

Hola 69F8C500,                     19 April 2021

Viewing your photos kind of reminds us of what our garage looked like last year. Prior to selling one of our cars we didn't realize the magnitude of what it would take to get the remaining cars home to Phoenix, Arizona. So far we are at least 5 months behind our original estimated schedule.

Good luck in your endeavor and great success at the show. Not sure but you might share show barn space with the new parent of the car we sold last year; it's V2 Orange, Black Stripe and a Coyote.

Best Always,

I needs major work, the rear rails are completely shot, there are no floors, it needs that spare trunk lid. It will be restored eventually.

Keep your hope until the last. I just found two in my 500 yesterday under the carpet. It was glorious, until I read them and found that they were for a Charger SE and a Dart

Someone replaced the original carpet with some hideous yellow shag carpeting in the mid 70s, so no possibility there.
