Forgot all about him.  It looks like he hasn't been around since March of 08.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Out of the 2229 '69s I have registered only 18 have the Y09 code on the tag...

Out of the 18, only 3 are actually still "exported"

1 in Moscow, Russia
1 in Lima, Peru
1 in Tilburg, Netherlands

[Ghoste]

That's kind of what I figured, super scarce.

[fc7_plumcrazy]

Hi,

I had a 69 Hemi Charger RT, factory export car to switzerland, A4 silver, Y09 code. car lives now in netherlands, has a factory 240km/h speedo. It is currently for sale, too.

There have been quite a few Chargers sold new in switzerland, none in germany that I know of, heard 4 Chargers from the second generation did sell in the UK. A few will have been sold in Belgium/netherlands, too.

[Ghoste]

Silver no less?  My favorite 2nd gen color.  Any pics?

[tan top]

 hi Carsten  , that 69 is it  matt black now with a orange stripe ?? owned buy a guy named Rolf

[fc7_plumcrazy]

Hi,

it was factory A4 silver, no v-roof, stripe delete, black interieur, console automatic with 3,23 gears. With power windows as it was sold as a luxury car in switzerland due to the dollar swiss frank relationship back then. It was quickly painted orange back in the day with a painted on v-roof. Around 12 years ago it got painted flat black. That is the way I bought it in spring 2000 and it is still in that paint since I have sold it.

I do not have pics on my computer, have to search around if I may find some somewhere

I had a 70 slant six Charger 500 that was a Y09 export car. I don't have any pics of the tag, but will do some looking to find pics of the car.

[Ghoste]

Were there photos one time of that car in Aruba drag racing?

No , that one is a 1970 and those guys still will not sell me that car...

   yes 

think that one Chris said in lima peru  , is a original J code  Hemi car also ,F8 with a factory heater delete option , might even be a four speed , 

that car was original exported to Venezuela, to a Venezuelan Chrysler corp manager. It has a LOOONG STORY about ( it was once a  General Lee ), restored but never completelly reassemblied and sold recenly to a guy called Domingo in Peru. It has a twin brother but automatic and is as far my knowledgement still around in Caracas. Has been told where exactly is to me but never have been there yet ( and is not too far away from me, 15 minutes driving into the city )

Beside that those ones, still are three 69 more personally saw, 2 of them SE 383 2 bbls auto, bronze and tan interior, one black roof the other one white roof. Another 2 69s in another cities, seen in pics. Then also a Purple 70 R/T 4 speeds white interior and roof which I have fixing some electrical stuff, what original was from an USA diplomatic guy on those days. Then 2 68s what I have seen just in for sale ads. Another 68 originally HEMI auto car what whan it was found just left the body. A friend has it and prepped for racing with a 440. At least one 66 or 67 what it was being sold looong time ago, but never did, so owner still drives it ( white on white, 383 4bbls auto, clock on console, AC ) All of them imported since only Chargers assemblied locally where 3rd gens

HOWEVER dunno how many of them were coded for export OR assemblied with Kilo speedo. Not the ones I have seen at least

Thats a new one to me....are you the owner?

Yes, but previous owner changed the front fenders and rear to a 68 model 

[Ghoste]

Are you leaving it that way or returning it to original?  (just curious)

[john.v]

Are you leaving it that way or returning it to original?  (just curious)

i like the 68 look and because it has the 68 grill and rear light already i will stick with the 68 look.

[Rolling_Thunder]

how does one tell if a 68 is an export car ? 

[Ghoste]

A 7 under the lower case y?

[loudmouthaussie]

ahhhh if only they rebadged them as valiant chargers downunder instead of the ugly little 6 pot things we got. what could have been i guess.........

[Ghoste]

I understand what you're saying (there is no denying the beauty of the American 2nd gen Charger), but you have to admit what an interesting footnote the Aussie Charger became.

[nascarxx29]

  I got a buildsheet from a friends 70 383 4bl 4 speed AC charger.The car never went overseas or had the export fender tag.But the original owner was in the military .And must have ordered new by those means. But the buildsheet has export on it

[loudmouthaussie]

ha ha for sure! there's a few guys that would be grinding their teeth over idea they were 'interesting footnote' he he. but they need to know. we failed big time! the other 2 of the big three at the time were rolling out muscle car V8's and chrysler aust missed it. ironic coz they had first 'aussie' v8 with the 318 in 1965.

[Ghoste]

I don't think it was a failure at all.  Not when taken in context of time and circumstance.

Y09 & Y11 codes at the top right side?

[nascarxx29]

B5 Blue 383 4 barrel 4 speed AC car

[Alaskan_TA]

The Y11 confirms that it was ordered by a US serviceman from overseas.

He would have picked a dealership in the US to have it shipped to so he could pick it up when he returned home.

Since the order was placed from overseas, these cars were 'export' cars in name, but they were delivered inside the US.

Details on the military order system from '69 at http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/dealerships/1969-DealershipsMilitarySalesOrderingInfo.shtml

[loudmouthaussie]

I don't think it was a failure at all.  Not when taken in context of time and circumstance.

well no maybe, it depends what angle you look at it from. we have 10% of US population so therefore less choice in locally produced vehicles.

the charger was what they came up with and straight 6 hi performance seemed to make sense at the time. i was only born in 76 so what would i know i guess.

from the angle of a mopar muscle fan in hindsight it would have been 'cool' to rebadge US chargers i think. probably wouldnt have sold as many as our market demanded a more economical/smaller car at the time.

[Magnumcharger]

I'd love to have one of those metric speedometers in my Charger!
(Perfect for Canadian roads!)

[Ghoste]

Watch e-bay, they do turn up every now and again.

Im sure Dave Patick from Performance Car Graphics can make a KPH decal overlay for you...

Take a look over here www.whitegauges.net, does em also and other cool stuff to clean up dash...

[Nacho-RT74]

yes but odometer will still read in miles. Needs a diff gear inside.

[Nacho-RT74]

here is the story about the 69 Hemi 4 speed going to Peru after being in Venezuela since it was born

http://server4.foros.net/viewtopic.php?t=44&mforum=muchasrpms

( I did know this story before read this topic, and I do know personally, have to say not totally pleasured, one of the owners, the one who has the tittle on his name before go to Peru. He told me some parts of the story what said later I was wrong and call me a liar... )

I'm wrong aparently was not made to a chrysler copr manager, really to a bank owner.... who knows now!!!! lot of stories versions of same car

[UFO]

yes but odometer will still read in miles. Needs a diff gear inside.

True, They also rotate the opposite direction that the mph ones do.

[Nacho-RT74]

interesting, never paid attention to that. I actually have a miles speedo because the rallye cluster I got is from USA but my original standart cluster is kilo. I don't remember the rotation

[PatrickPeeters]

If the Odometer reads miles and dash is kmh keeps your car low in milage, in case you wanna sell it and dont tell it

On the 8th line down you call the number 8= Export. Are you sure that is not the letter B instead of 8 LEON.

[Alaskan_TA]

Some 1970 export cars used an 8 instead of a B for Hamtramck if they were shipped 'incomplete'.

I do not know it this is also the case for 1969 Hamtramck cars? 

[Iron Chef]

My '71 Super Bee was an export to Canada.  It has a "C" stamped on the fender tag.

[ChargerRT69]

This is an old post, but does anyone have additional information on Export cars?

I have  1969 Charger R/T with the Y09 code and the "Built For Export" oval plate on the inside fender. I am trying to determine where the car was delivered to so I can put together a history profile of the car.

Thanks in advance!!

[6bblgt]

Odds are it never left the US, is it the stripe delete car in your avatar?  Can you share fender tag and/or broadcast sheet info?

the vehicle order number in '70 tells the continent of destination - but I haven't heard any theories on the '69 stuff - I'll guess your VON is <050000, correct?

[Ghoste]

There are only 25 of them in the 69 Registry database out of the nearly 3500 cars registered now so needless to say, they are pretty uncommon.  It also makes it difficult to establish much telling information with such a small sampling.
Would really love to add yours if it isnt in there already.

[Nacho-RT74]

yes but odometer will still read in miles. Needs a diff gear inside.

Is the question that the odometer rotates the other direction? Yes it does and that comes from having them both in my hand.

[Nacho-RT74]

Are you SURE they are both from same speedo? I have also both in hands from 3rd gen Rallye speedo, kilo and miles and both are same direction, just the gears attached are diff teeth count.

would be interesting to see the plastic gears side by side. The thread on the speedo gear side must be also opposite, one going down to the left, the other to the right? Or some of them.

Really interesting.

I also have a 69 that is marked as an export. In my case as mentioned it's thought to have never left here. But rather ,simply ordered by a us navy soldier while overseas.

This is what I am assuming as well, but it would be neat to track back the history of the order etc.... problem is, with all of the privacy laws anymore, you cannot get anything from what I can dig up. The DMV will not give out any information that is for sure.

Unless someone else has a better or another way?
