I moved up to the 69 Charger from my first car which was a 65 Chrysler 300 convertible.
The Charger had a 383 4bbl automatic with a 3.23 posi rear end.
I hopped it up with ET mags, glass pack mufflers and a Holly carb.
It was a heavy slug....Ran decent but by no means fast.
It looked good (from a distance) and sounded cool.
I was what they considered back then on Woodward Avenue a "stroke".
"Strokes" drove cars that the guys with the hot cars wouldn't waste their time on or consider racing.
You had to earn your way up the ladder by winning some races to get a shot at the hot cars.
It's a photo of a photo taken with a 35mm.
I no longer have the negative.

My RoadRunner was a 383 magnum/commando. Auto trans. Step in it and it would burn rubber all through 1st gear. I put G-60s on the rear. 1st gear pull was like a freight train. Stomping it coming off of exit ramps from a cruise speed was also a hard pull. Of course it can't touch my Camaro. If my RR had my Camaro Tremec 6 speed it would have been much faster.
