1969 Dodge Charger R/T
A center-divided grille and revised longitudinal tail lights were the most visible changes Dodge made to the Charger for 1969 (the 1968 redesign had more than tripled sales of the prior generation, removing any appetite for something more disruptive). The engine lineup was largely carried over, though minor revisions and new options were introduced.
The R/T (Road/Track) package sat at the top of the Charger line, combining performance hardware with a higher level of interior appointments than the base car. Standard power came from the 440 CI Magnum V-8, rated at 375 horsepower with a four-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust; the 426 CI Hemi was available at extra cost.
Transmission choices were a four-speed manual or the TorqueFlite three-speed automatic. The R/T was identified externally by the Bumblebee wraparound rear stripe, which incorporated an R/T cutout at its center (deleting the stripe substituted a metal R/T emblem in its place).
Interior equipment on the R/T included bucket seats with headrests, woodgrain trim, and upgraded instrumentation (the Tic-Tac-Toc combination tachometer and clock was optional rather than standard).
Total Charger production for 1969 reached 89,199 units across all trim levels, with R/T production totaling 20,302 hardtops and 4,019 SE-equipped R/T hardtops.
