Too Cool Rich!

For those who don't speak Mopar, the SE was the luxury option package that could be ordered on the R/T or as its own model. (Kind of like a Rally Sport/Super Sport- the combination of the highest trim option and the highest performance option)

In 1969 Dodge would not build an R/T-SE with a hemi but in 1970 they lifted the restriction but didn't advertise the fact, so very few of the 112 Hemi R/T's had the SE package - about 16 or so.

With the SE A-47 package you got a real leather interior and different door interior panels and bunch of other add-ons that altered the interior's appearance from the standard Charger R/T interior. In addition, there were only three leather interior colors available: tan, green and charcoal (a metallic black).

FYI:

Here is the breakdown of the production colors that I know of for the 16 Hemi R/T-SE Chargers known to have been produced:

1970 HEMI CHARGER R/T-SE with Automatic trans:

tan w/ tan interior
black w/ charcoal interior
orange w/ charcoal interior
yellow w/ charcoal interior
green w/ green interior
blue w/ charcoal interior (Canadian car)

1970 HEMI CHARGER R/T-SE with four speed:

red w/ charcoal interior (mine)
orange w/ tan interior
orange w/ charcoal interior
orange w/ charcoal interior
dark green w/ charcoal interior
green w/ tan interior
limelight w/ charcoal interior
yellow w/ charcoal interior
yellow w/ tan interior

I keep going back and looking at the photos. It's beautiful and the engine compartment is perfect.

Some more bizarre triva on the Hemi R/T-SEs. All of the 16 cars were built during an 8-week period from September to December, 1969. No one knows why. It's like nobody wanted one after the first of the year in 1970. My thought is that the E-body Cudas and Challengers came out in big numbers about that time and stole all the limelight (and the sales) from the now stale 3-year old Charger body style.

Awesome piece!

Steve...you mean to tell me they actually built TWO of these in the Tan/Tan combination? Yech!!!

Thanks for the great info!

It's not a tan like Gobi Beige, it's FT6 Burnt Tan Metallic, a dark metallic brownish, beigish, taupish, khaki-ish, fleshtone color. There was a 69 hemi Daytona in Otis Chandler's old collection that was that color.

Another bizarro coincidence is that the 4 speed "tan" Charger was owned by the guy I bought the 71 yellow hemicuda ragtop from. In 1986, he sold that car to Dave Jones in Indiana and it was featured on one of those famous musclecar posters from back in the 1980's. It was a beatiful car with power windows and a white vinyl top if I recall correctly.

It would be #8 on the chart below:

A gator top survivor ft6 car.

And here's the T5 (saddle tan) interior.

It's another R/T SE except being a 4 gear Dana 440 car.
