This R4 Red 69 Hemi Charger 500 was the first Hemi Charger 500 built in '69 and is known as car 610. The first six Hemi Charger 500's built were Press Release cars. They were all Red with three having 4 speeds and three having TorqueFlites. Their VON #'s were 925000 - 925005. This is an unrestored car that still has its original drivetrain. It was featured in the May '17 issue of Muscle Car Review and the August '21 issue of Mopar Collector's Guide. According to the story in MCG some press guys had this car checked out from Dodge and took it street racing one night. They ended up damaging one of the rear quarter panels and took it to a local Dodge dealer in the middle of the night for repairs. They returned it the next day without the repairs being noticed. This car was eventually sold through Turnpike Motor Sales in East Greenbush NY to M. Russo. R. Myers had this car at the show.
