doge charger 1969

Ah, the 1969 Dodge Charger: a true muscle car icon, but let's get the name right—it's Dodge, not Doge, unless your car pays in meme coins. This beast features a 7.2-litre V8 HEMI engine pumping out around 425 horsepower, paired with a classic 4-speed manual or optional 3-speed automatic transmission. Expect a hefty curb weight making it a brute in straight-line speed but a bit of a handful on tight corners. Prices for a restored classic can range wildly from $70,000 to over $150,000 AUD depending on condition, provenance, and how much rust has been lovingly preserved. Common issues include

• rust in the floor pans and frame rails
• electrical gremlins in aged wiring
• worn suspension bushings causing sloppy handling
