Where It Sits in the Market

Value Justification Checklist

Strong Points:

• ✅ Real XS29L9B VIN — confirmed R/T SE from the factory
• ✅ Factory A47 SE Package with leather seats (rare option)
• ✅ Numbers-matching 440 + 4-speed manual — the “holy grail” drivetrain combo
• ✅ Dana 60 with 3.54 Sure Grip — heavy-duty rear end
• ✅ Documented authenticity — original VIN, fender tag, body stamps present
• ✅ Restored in original T7 Bronze with correct interior
• ✅ Fresh mechanical work — recent radiator, ignition, fuel system, steering box

Considerations:

• ⚠️ Dealer retail vs. auction pricing — carries typical 15–30% markup
• ⚠️ Magnum-style wheels — not period-correct (though new and quality)

The Verdict

At $125,000, this car is priced toward the upper end of the current market. The 4-speed manual transmission, numbers-matching drivetrain, and SE package justify a premium over auction examples. Given this same vehicle sold for $84K in 2024, there’s clearly been market appreciation — though the dealer is capturing most of that upside.

If you’re serious about this specific car, you might negotiate toward $110K–$115K based on recent comparable sales. Want me to find more 1969 Charger RT SE listings to compare?
