Wheels-1969 Dodge Charger TB

This trackable has the goal to survive more than five years and be dropped by at least 25 cachers. I maintain records on all my trackables. In the years 2010-22, I released 5,223 trackables. Of these, a total of 4,268 were released only in North America (NAO, meaning chiefly the United States) and never left the region, which includes Canada, Mexico and the islands of the Caribbean. Another 304 trackables were released outside North America (EUO, meaning chiefly Europe) and were never dropped in North America. Still another collection of 651 trackables had drops both in and outside North America. Statistics for the two former cohorts are as follows: % Missing; NAO-71.0, EUO-48.0; Maximum Drops; NAO-55.0, EUO-67.0; Average Total Drops, NAO-5.3, EUO-12.5; Average Drop Rate per Year, NAO-4.6, EUO-7.2. As of 21-Oct-25 this trackable had survived for 1.3 years and had been moved by 6 cachers, for an average drop every 81 days, or 4.5 drops per year. Please keep it moving, then drop it in a safe place!

No permission is needed to leave the U.S. While in the U.S., please drop it at an event, in a Premium Member only OR a rural cache near a busy trail or road. Do not place it in an urban, non-premium cache. Transport the bug in the original plastic bag for as long as the bag lasts; the bag keeps the trackable clean and dry, protects the number and prevents tangling with other items. Otherwise, take the trackable anywhere you wish.

Each black wheel in this series of travel bugs represents one of the hundred most collected American-made production automobiles (see https://www.hemmings.com/stories/article/top-100-american-collector-cars-of-all-time). The TBs in this collection include only cars made after the year of my birth; these are some of the cars I grew up with. A few had limited production and cost a fortune whereas others were sold to families and were relatively inexpensive. Some had eye-catching designs, others had technological advances, still others had chassis’ that were popular fodder for later street rods. Whatever the case, there is something about all of them that makes collectors compete for ownership.

Elegant, shapely body lines and subtle contouring mixed with an aggressive face outside; under the skin, anything from a Slant-Six to a 425hp dual-quad Hemi could be ordered. But why the 1969 Charger? We'll give you 01 reasons why: The Dukes of Hazzard TV show tricked a nation of kids into thinking cars could fly.
