I Don't Remember Charger 500s Coming With A 318?

[DavidKFla]

I thought they were all 383 and 440 cars?

The only year that a Charger 500 was a performance model, was 1969. 440 4-bbl or hemi. All other years, pretty much ran all the engine options.

I had a 1969 500 about 15 years ago...

I remember my dad wanting to buy one. I think it was a 70. 383 HiPo. Same color as yours. My mom wanted no parts of it. Damn shame.

A bunch of the 69 500's became Daytonas. They made 392, 1969 500's... total. All other years were pedestrian models with a trim package.

I remember it had a flush grill with round headlights. Buckets with a console.
My memory is from 60+ years ago.

1968 Coronet grill, A-pillar covers, flush back window/shorter decklid. Daytona was a few months later, and added the nose.

Those parts I don't remember. The front end looked just like yours.

They ended up with a Polara 318. It was a slug of a boat. I ended up hurting that motor. Burnt an exhaust valve.

Aero cars were 69-only for Dodge. Superbird in 70.

It was a 383. I definitely remember that. They had a 383 Fury wagon with the pursuit package.

 

[MMissile]

Had to be a 70 or newer.

Most likely.

1970-71 the Charger 500 was just a trim package between the Charger and Charger R/T.

Really wasn't a fan of that front end

Woodward dodge display at 13 mile?

Yes sir. Chrysler wanted my car to represent "1969" for the new 2006 Charger display. They had one of each previous Charger on display.
