I am reassembling my 69 Coronet R/T and am in search of new shock absorbers.An original OEM look is what I'm after.Year One has OEM looking shocks for over $200.00 a set. What do you guys think of these or are there others available? Thanks in advance Last edited by 5carguy; 01/24/11 01:34 PM.

We got some for the Superbird I restored and when they showed up, you can tell all they did was purchase a set that was the correct style (blue in color, possibly Monroe) and spray painted them black. I had to sand them down and repaint. 1966 Dodge Charger 1968 Plymouth Satellite (Un-Restored "Survivor") 1969 Dodge Charger (W.B.

They are a gas shock with black powder coating,The best part is there under $20 a shock. I restored my white Superbird a little over 10 yearsago using the classic shocks and it still rides and looks great. Ken http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/S...questid=1344376

The shock outer tubes of the shocks flare out just like the originals. I beleive they are about $20 each. Saw`them at Advance Auto.
