Background:

Ever since I saw the movie Bullitt with Steve McQueen, I have always wanted a Dodge Charger. Although, the '68 is more appealing to me, I have decided that a '69 was the next best thing.

This car was purchased for $1500. in Atlanta, GA by a young 16 year old who loved the car, but did not have time to work on it. The engine, a 383-4BBl, was already rebuilt, but the 727 transmission was baked.

Mechanically, except for the trans., the car was in great shape. The body, on the other hand was a mess!

The frame is solid, but the trunk and rear 1/4's were all rusted out. So that is the area that has been started to be restored first.
