Title: My First E Body
Post by: SeventyTX9RTRag on December 10, 2019, 06:02:38 PM
Guys looking to share a few pictures of this AAR I recently bought. This is my third Mopar, 68 Charger H code that I sold, and now I have a 69 Charger RT 440 auto ac car that I restored.
I don't know much about the E body so any comments regarding originality are appreciated. I know the various things under the hood are vintage 70's day two things. I have confirmed the drive line is original and the vins match.


Thanks

It's an automatic, really wanted a 4 speed but originality won out on this one.

What's the story with that green tag on the distributor? Does not look oem?

Trunk floor center section has some small pits no holes or anything, and has been repainted. Looks like the other part of the trunk has GM spatter paint on it. I removed a small amount and found blue paint. So that will be ongoing project.

Well I would need the # from the dist
It could be a 72 & up production dist most likely or it could be a Mopar performance dist sold as a kit to upgrade to electronic ign less likely as I don't recall MP dist having the tags on them .

Super car, love it....I just think black vinyl tops look right at home on an AAR  :drooling:
Rear shoulder belts would be extremely rare, hard to tell from that picture. :takepicture:

The car has a broadcast sheet correct ? Any mention of them on there ?

That build sheet looks really well preserved. I wonder if it's a reproduction? I'm far from an expert just made me wonder? Not that it matters beautiful AAR enjoy it!

GREAT CAR!

I would say the build sheet looks original, like it was stuffed in there quickly just like that.
So, let's see a pic of the build sheet.   Very curious about those rear belts.

Can we see the fender tag in any case?  that would sure help with what's supposed to be on the car and what is not.

No those are the front seat shoulder belts.
Really its a low option car. No PS, hood blinkers, has 3.55 rear gear etc. Guess the vinyl top, rallye dash, auto, console are noteworthy options but several cars had these.
