On "My Car Story" we're at the Carlisle Events in Carlisle PA on 7-13-24.
We're looking at a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T in T5 Bronze Paint. The car comes with the 426 CI Hemi V8 engine, and a 4 Speed manual transmission.
The car's Owner is Harley Avezzie. Harley’s had this car since 1977. He shares he saw this car and wanted to buy it, however his wife said “no more cars until we have a house.” Harley told the guy with the car; he’ll buy the house but the car has to come with it. Well both Harley and his Wife are both happy because the Seller agreed to sell his house and this car came with the purchase too. One big happy Hemi Family.

Hi, If you like this video, please click on SUPER THANKS ❤ with the $ in the middle which is the SUPER THANKS button under the video. Thank you! Lou
I've had four 69 Chargers in 40 years but never a Hemi.
Thanks for sharing this with the world today
Hi Jeff, Happy to read this "Hemi" with you :-) Lou
Probably the most iconic car of the Muscle Car Era. I'm a Pony Car guy, but l honor and respect the mighty 69 Hemi Charger.🙏
"Probably the most iconic car of the Muscle Car Era." High praise.
Why can't they make a car this beautiful in modern times?
@@Bradydog-in7ut They can. But people's tastes have changed, bumper safety requirements, incresed MPG requirements, etc.
I wouldn't buy a Charger like that today. Too big, too heavy, too unwieldy, too hungry for fuel ...
@@islanddon865 I would! Nothing would be cooler than driving a new old car in todays times
I dont need any electronics, computers screens or gizmos.
@@gordocarbo Totally. Just a bunch of expensive toys to add to the price. Problem is that they eventually add them as standard features that you don't want, but get stuck with.
One of Lou’s best videos! The owners kids stories is the icing on the cake!
High praise.
This is hands down the greatest year of the Dodge Charger
Happy to read this is a favorite Charger for you :-)
What a nice Charger - cool colour!
A real icon of the era.
Thanks Lou!
Hi Jeff, Happy to read you enjoy this "real icon of the era" :-) My pleasure sharing this car with you. You're welcome, Lou
Ahhh, someone who isn't afraid to drive/enjoy his car. 👍
:-)
I dont understand that paranoia youd think they never heard of insurance!
Own your car dont let it own you!
Wish my dad was more into cars like Harlan… he was not happy with me when I bought my 71 Roadrunner, “you should have a pickup so you can make a few $$ on the side” or something like that. Although when I snuck it out and put down over 150 ft of rubber in 3 of the 4 gears (ran out of room for 4th) he knew it was me and actually was impressed. (With the car, not too happy with me) Great memories like Harlan has with his kids… nothing better than that !
Hi Richard, More dads into cars would be nice. My Dad was not into cars either. Happy to read you had fun with your car :-) Lou
R/T of that year, with that engine, in that colour, with that roof and stripes and those wheels - perfecto
"perfecto" Nice :-)
What a beautiful Charger and this is my favorite year too! Take good care of that gem she's precious!

@@loucostabileNew subscriber here & I look forward to your videos keep up the good work!
This might have been your best episode Lou. This was THE car that started me as a car nut when I was 6 years old and a bright orange '69 Charger with 01 on the welded doors and the Stars and Bars on the roof was flying though the TV set!
But what a lovely family to boot! Great stories, great people, and the most iconic of all the classic muscle cars for the 60s-70s. You really hit a homerun with this one! Thank you and thanks to Harley and his great family!
Hi Joe, Happy to read "This might have been your best episode" :-) You're welcome, Lou
Fantastic Charger! The Rallye wheels, while not correct for a '69, really work on this car. Nice to see an owner who actually drives their "blue chip" muscle car.
Happy to read "Fantastic Charger!" :-)
Lou, you sure know how to find the happy families. As well as the cool cars - that Hemi didn't seem to notice all the passengers it was carrying. Thanks for making me smile!
Stewart, You're right, this Hemi can haul :-) You're welcome, Lou
This vintage of Charger is so iconic - it is one of the best looking cars EVER (and I don't much care for MOPAR products). That color looks a lot like what the Turbine cars were painted. Very iconic car that is so much nicer than the garbage Charger that preceded it. I was a 6 year old when my Dad would meet up with his friends in his 1968 Ford Torino GT fastback (gulfstream aqua with black c-stripe). His friends had a 1967 Firebird and one had a 1969 Charger in a dark red/maroon color. Another had a 1969 Silver Cutlass 442. I was so lucky to be surrounded by automotive royalty! Love your channel, Lou!
Hi ultraviolet tp, "it is one of the best looking cars EVER" High praise. Glad you're along for the ride, Lou
What a sound! What a muscle car!!!!!!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍
NICE!
Great car and such amazing family and story. And oh that Hemi. Thanks Lou!
Happy to share this family story with you :-) You're welcome John!

Beautiful car nice to see that it’s been used and everyone in the family got to grow up with it. Awesome story.❤
Hi James, Happy to read you enjoy this good looking car with an "Awesome story" :-) Lou
That car is absolutely beautiful what a creation must be honest this Charger and the Pontiac Judge 69 G.T.O are the BEST.😊😊

It's always solid gold when you get these Mopar families, Lou. They are so much fun, and the kid's stories are hilarious and make me jealous that I didn't grow up with a Hemi dad. I had to settle with Ford Galaxies and Buick Rivieras, which were quite nice, actually, but Dad never had a monster like this! Thanks, Lou!
My Dad was frugal and conservative, so this car would have been way outside his thinking. However I sure love it :-) You're welcome, Steve D!
Nice family, stunning classic Dodge Charger 426, love it, thank you, Lou. I am jealous guys, lol.
Hi Michael C, Happy to read "love it' :-) You're welcome, Lou
You had me at Hemi! Mr. Avezzie's Charger looks fantastic in that color and white trim, and it definitely knows how to get down the road efficiently. What a great car and car family. Thanks, Lou!
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Happy to read you enjoy this looks of this car :-) My pleasure sharing this episode with you. You're welcome, Lou

Beautiful color, and the best roofline ever with those famous buttresses. Nice family as well. Thanks Lou!
Hi Mike, Happy to read you enjoy the looks and details of this design. You're welcome, Lou
Good looking R/T. All I can say is he still has one. Only a few photo's of mine survive. Did the build sheet mention gears? Mine had 4:10 from the factory which were lowered by me later. Great job bringing these cars to us.

At 3:10 in the video, you can see the fender tag…A34 is the code for Super Track Pack 4.10 Dana 60 rear, so from the factory it was the same as the one you had.
@@mw4992 thanks for the info
Awesome Lou《☆》Wonderful Family & Car story Brother👍🏾🍔🤳I envisioned it drifting around Willow corners✌🏼😁☯️

Thanks Lou!☺️👍
Hi bogdanich375, Happy to read "My dream car!" :-) You're welcome, Lou
I remember doing 155 mph on the BQE in NY back in 75. 426 hemi two Holley 750 double pumpers on a high rise manifold worked automatic trans. 3-4 mpg. Memories like that, priceless.
A guy got arrested for going 150 on the Belt Parkway a few years back.
Hi Kenny, "Memories like that, priceless" NICE!
Back in the day, we all used to say that R/T stood for Rapid Transportation. Yeah, we knew it didn't, but we liked our version better.
:-)
Very very nice car Lou, love it. I am a MOPAR fan. Keep going Lou.
Hi Ollie, Happy to read "love it" :-) Lou
My dream car
Nice :-)
Beautiful automobile Lou love these RT's God Bless.

Hi Peter, Happy to share this one with you, Lou
Chrysler's best design ever!
High praise.
I have a 1967 dodge coronet R/T. 440 magnum auto. I bought it in 1989 from private party. 60k on Odo. Now has 80k miles. I used to daily drive it back in early 90s. Only street raced one car, a 1970 Hurst Olds 455....beat him going away... Got 15mpg highway after bolting 2:76 gears out of new Yorker to posi unit. For me, the most beautiful car ever built, 1967 dodge coronet R/T....

The color is stunning too!!
Happy to read you enjoy the color of this car :-)
The 69 is in my opinion the prettiest charger, and in that color looks great! My family was all about dodge in the 60’s and 70’s. Sadly, their real muscle cars were not for sale here and getting one from USA was difficult and expensive. It would have been great to have one of those in our garage when I was a kid, making me a bigger gear head than I am 😂.
Hi César, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) I believe you've found the right RUclips Channel for the cars you enjoy. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Awesome car! I had a '70 with 383 when the oil embargo happened, and later a '69 RT/SE with a 440, and the same color interior as this beautiful Hemi.
Hi Mark, Happy to read "Awesome car!" :-) Glad to read this car brings back memories of your cars. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
I've never seen that 6 way manual seat either, pretty darn cool!!
Thanks for sharing what you notice.
The car is as old as me, and my favorite year for a Charger. The car has that look of I’m the coolest in my opinion.
Hi Michael, Happy to read this is your favorite years of the Charger and your birth year too :-) Lou
G'day Lou,
Great story that Harley got his priority right.
The Hemi before a house & the
Grand daughter learning paint colour chats.
Beautiful family affair that love there Hemi.
God Blass this Family
Great story Lou.
Cheers
Louis Ķats your number 1 Fan in Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺 👍
Goodday Louis, Happy to read you enjoy the stories that come along with this car :-) Thanks for being my # 1 Fan in Australia. Cheers, Lou
To say anything would just cheapen the experience....thx again Lou!
My pleasure sharing with you. You're welcome Bradydog!
That's one smoking hot Hemi Charger there nice color🎉🎉
Nice :-)
What a fun family. That is absolute best house hunting story lmao
I agree, a fun family :-) "That is absolute best house hunting story" I agree...Hemi & the House :-)
What a great story! Buy a house, and we'll throw in a Hemi! I'll teach you how to read, here's a Chrysler paint code chart! Can't get to sleep? - hop in the Hemi, we'll put you to sleep! Nothing like being raised around muscle cars- Gen Z'ers have no clue what they're missing. Great video Lou on Mopar's most beautiful B-body!
Hi Tom (and JudyAnn), Happy to read you enjoy this "great story!". If I told people without the video, they wouldn't believe me :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you, Lou
Id pull my hair out in any late model from the road/tire noise inside, no way could I get used to that
Real USA steel!
This one is definitely not "nicely baffled" and that's a good thing!
Thank you for viewing and sharing.
🙋♂️LOU,HARLAN,AVERY RYAN,LOGAN,FOR SHARING THE 😎 STORY 💚💚💚
You're welcome Budget Audiophile Life-long
Great car! Great color!
Happy to read you enjoy this car :-)
There’s one episode of Mannix, where Joe has a tan on white 69 charger RT exactly like it. I think it was a pilot car that was actually used in some Dodge charger commercials which we can find here on yt.
Hi wen, Thanks for sharing that TV trivia, Lou
Aahh Yes . . . 1969 Dodge Charger magazine Advertisement . . . "Mother Warned Me" car . . . 😊
:-)
That’s one gorgeous low mileage Hemi Charger.
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-)
A1 episode Lou….you may have hit your peak!
High praise mattie :-)
Harlan got a 'two-fer'. what a deal!
Twice as nice :-)
Great video!
Thank you.
I saw a Charger identical to this at the Good Guy's car show in Orlando, Florida, in 99 or 2000 for sale for 45 thousand. If I only knew what kind of crazy prices I would have bought it because I had the cash.
Hi Gary, Yes, I think we all missed buying 426 Hemi cars in our past... Hope one day in the future one will be mine :-) Lou
@loucostabile Same here Lou 👍
Absolutely beautiful stunning car. . . LOVE IT 😊 . ? . . Didnt the R/T model have Magnum 500 wheels ?
Hi Christopher, Happy to read "LOVE IT" :-) Hmmm, I think so. Maybe a Viewer with more knowledge can share, Lou
Very nice car!
Happy to read you enjoy this "Very nice car!" :-)
Yeah in my family it’s always been, MOPAR OR NO CAR! I now have a new Ram 1500 Limited 5.7 Hemi an even newer Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. And I wouldn’t have it any other way, unless I had that beautiful Charger, which is highly unlikely. lol
Hi Thomas, Happy to read you're enjoying your MOPARs :-) Lou
Hell yeah! 😎👍👍👍
:-)
Sweet!!!
:-)
Nice 😊
Hi Michael, Happy to read "Nice" :-) Lou
Mopar had some awesome muscle cars.
Happy to share this "awesome" car with you :-)
this brown brings me way back to the mid 80s, where brown cars were very common
Hi Willy, Happy to read this car brings back memories of brown cars you remember :-) Lou
Wow Beast!
:-)
Great color same as my 69 but a black roof.
Happy to read you have a fun car too :-)
The mopar dreams are made of
:-)
Awesome Charger. But my kind of Mopar would be a 1974-75 Imperial, or 1976-78 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham, or a Town & Country from that time period.
Like this one? ruclips.net/video/eEODNyR5YfI/видео.html
@@loucostabile Close enough. Very nice. I'm watching it now.
Awesome 69 Charger! I love the color too….I’m drooling all over myself lol…
Hi Edmund, "I’m drooling all over myself" NICE! Lou
Man bought the house and the seller threw in the charger🤣 better have been hell of a deal.
Seems everyone was happy.
Even with all those people in the back! That must have been 1000 lbs of people lol
Probably right.
Dessert? That Hemi is the meat 🍖🥓 and potatoes! 🥔🍠😋 Make Mopar American Again! 🇺🇲
Dinner was GOOD! I like dessert :-)
Well, now that the video ended, Joe Raiti and his Demon 170 popped up in my recommended Next video! The AI working!
Nice :-)
I like the 68 tail lights better
Thank you for sharing which one you prefer.
I worked at a Buick dealership in 1972 when I was 17. Someone traded in a 1969 Dodge Charger in orange with an automatic transmission and a 383 - 2 barrel. I bought it for $800.00 …..I loved my first car. Unfortunately got rid of it 4 years later for of all things- a 4 cylinder Dodge Colt . Kicking myself ever since 🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁
Hi Stephen, Well I'm sure you were part of many looking for a "Gas Sipper" when muscle cars were being sold cheaply as "Gas Gussler's". Hope you're behind the wheel of the right 1969 Dodge Charger for you soon, Lou
I can dream !!
I am 50 and know paint codes most brands. FM3 what color? I was at a car show in Kenosha, and a guy had a car this color. I said nice T5 bronze color. He was shocked I knew the color code. I have noticed many cars on the channel have poor headliner wrinkles in the sail panels.
Hi Timothy, Thanks for sharing what you know and notice, Lou
Gotta love Avery's "Boats 'N Hoes" shirt! Does she wear this to the Catalina Wine Mixer???
Thanks for sharing what you notice.
Effortless torque.🙂
You're right.
Fire cheffing was trying to grasping the way and locked up needs relised

Good looking woman. Car is nice too.
