The second generation of Dodge's Charger muscle car arrived with the 1968 model year, sporting aggressive "Coke bottle" styling and dispensing with the large glass fastback in favor of a rear window inset between dramatic flying buttresses. Also new for '68 was the R/T performance trim level which came standard with the 440 cubic inch Magnum RB-block V-8.
Changes for 1969 were minimal. Most noticeably, a central chrome divider was added to the grille and the quad circular taillights were replaced by wide rectangular ones.
A '69 Charger R/T, like this Dark Bronze Metallic example, would have come standard with the base 440 cubic inch big block, which had a 4-barrel carburetor sucking air through an unsilenced air cleaner, squeezing it in 10.1:1 compression cylinders, and putting out 375 SAE gross horsepower. It could be had with a 4-on-the-floor manual or a three-speed Torqueflite 727 automatic.
This one was photographed with a Nikon Coolpix S6500 in December of 2014.
