MY OTHER CAR
"BIG BROTHER" A 1969 DODGE CHARGER R/T
ONE OF 14,000 VINYL TOPPED R/T'S MADE in '69.
ALL NUMBERS MATCH ON THIS CAR

"RB" 440 cu inch 4BBL
.020 OVER-STANDARD BORE from the FACTORY
385HP From the FACTORY
580 FT LBS OF TORQUE from the FACTORY
727 AUTOMATIC WITH SLAPSTICK
POSI-TRACTION(DETROIT)
3:83 GEAR RATIO
ENGINE HORSEPOWER*- I later added Approx 40hp putting it at 425hp by .030 overbore beyond factory overbore of .020
flat tops and decked heads were also installed with a modfied cam.
Top speed is around 155 MPH but it becomes unstable and tends to float especially when trying to steer it still stays straight and the brakes fade after about 85 mph the 4 wheel drums suck!
TOTALLY NON ELECTRONIC AMERICAN MADE MUSCLE NO IMPORTED PARTS ON IT ANYWHERE
"MADE IN DETROIT MICHIGAN,USA" is on the build tag under the rear seat.
I did learn the engine was assembled at 11:10 am january 3rd 1969 it was fully assembled in the car Feb 12th 1969 it is pretty cool to know all of it was built right here in the USA
