Description

The Dodge Charger 2 door Hardtop, was redesigned in 1968, it lost the 1966/67 fastback styling, and got a 'coke bottle' shape with scallops in the doors and hood. The headlights still hidden, but now vacuum operated and the tail lights were round. A facelift in 1969 saw a new divided grille and longitudal tail lights. Available in 1969 were; the base Charger, The new upmarket SE package, with leather and woodgrain. The high performance R/T (Road/Track) with standard 440 cu in (427 Hemi option), heavy duty brakes and suspension. The NASCAR inspired Charger 500, (Sept 68) it had flush back window and Coronet grille for better aerodynamics. The NASCAR inspired Daytona, (April 69) even more aerodynamic with 18in pointed nose and 23in tall tail wing. Engines; 145hp 225 cu in slant 6, 230hp 318, 330hp 383 V8s RT, 500 and Daytona models came standard with the 375hp 440 Magnum and the 425hp 426 Hemi was a option.

The General Lee starred in a TV series called the Dukes of Hazzard, from 1979-85, then later, in the movie. The General Lee was known for its signature horn, its police chases, stunts, especially its long jumps and for having its doors welded shut, leaving the Dukes to climb in and out through the windows. Around 300 of these cars were used during the series.
