For Mopar muscle enthusiasts seeking the perfect gift this holiday season, a remarkable 1969 Dodge Charger restomod is currently up for auction on BringATrailer.com. This iconic muscle car underwent a comprehensive refurbishment by Uribe Performance in California, completed just three months ago in September 2024. Combining classic styling with modern performance and luxury, this Charger is a show-stopping example of American muscle reimagined for the modern era.
A Striking New Look –
Originally orange, the Charger now boasts a Metallic Copper finish applied by California Autoworx of Riverside, California. The transformation includes black trim throughout, replacing the traditional chrome accents for a sleek, aggressive aesthetic. This blacked-out theme extends to the grille, window surrounds, door handles, and side-mirror housing. Unique touches include hood-mounted turn-signal monitors, shaved side-marker lights, and dual exhaust outlets.
The car sits on custom ten-spoke three-piece wheels, 19-inch × 9.5-inch in the front and 19-inch × 11.5-inch at the rear. These are wrapped in Falken Azenis FK510 tires (275/35 front, 305/30 rear). Wilwood hydro-boost brakes with body-color calipers (six-piston front, four-piston rear) and a Hotchkis TVS suspension system provide superior handling and stopping power.
A Luxurious Cabin –
Inside, the Charger features a fully custom black leather interior designed by California Upholstery in Bell Gardens, California. Four bucket seats, including rear buckets, ensure a sporty yet comfortable ride for all passengers. The full-length center console includes cupholders, a lockable storage compartment, and modern amenities like a touchscreen Alpine™ head unit that controls a premium Cadence Sound audio system.
The driver’s cockpit showcases a Billet Specialties steering wheel and an AutoMeter InVision Digital Dash instrument panel. The digital odometer reflects just 100 miles since the refurbishment, signifying the car’s like-new condition.
Big Block Power –
Under the hood lies a rebuilt 7.2-liter (440 cubic-inch) Big Block V8, replacing the car’s original 6.3-liter (383 cubic-inch) engine. Equipped with a Holley Sniper 2 EFI system, Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, and K&N air cleaner, this powerplant ensures both reliability and performance. Cooling duties are handled by an aluminum radiator and dual auxiliary electric fans. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 727 three-speed automatic transmission, also rebuilt during the restoration.
A Unique Opportunity –
With its modern upgrades and head-turning looks, this 1969 Dodge Charger is a masterclass in blending vintage style with contemporary engineering. The car is offered with a clean Michigan title in the seller’s name and includes refurbishment photos.
The auction closes on Friday, December 20, at 2:01 p.m. EDT, making this a golden opportunity to own a piece of American automotive history with a modern twist.
