how many 69 Charger r/t 4 speed cars? Just curious.

[Charger-Bodie]

Just what it says. how many we're built?

[Ghoste]

About 3800.

[lloyd3]

How many have survived is the tougher question.

[Ghoste]

I still always tend to use the 20% standard for the most part.  There are good arguments for more and for less though.

[MxRacer855]

The "20%" standard... That's the first time I've ever heard that one. I like it! I don't have any statistics to prove that correct or incorrect, it just sounds reasonable.

[Ghoste]

Its a generalization and I'm not sure where I first heard but many in the hobby use a 20% survival rate for muscelcars.

I thought I remembered reading 3579 383/4spd and 3602 RT/440/4spd on the chargerregistry site.
Looks like I was half right. This site shows 3605 RT/440/4spd.

The 383 powered cars are not RT's.  There are about 3600 440 onea nd a couple of hundred Hemi ones.  Those aren't exact numbers I'm going off the top of my head here.

not trying to hijack tread or anything but something don't add up


                                                             so how come only 330 4 speed rt's  in 71 ?

[Ghoste]

Same reason they sold fewer RT's overall and fewer musclecars in general, the party was over.

[six-tee-nine]

About 3800.

+1, I just welded in my 4-speed hump in my R/T

wanna buy a really awesome y3 survivor?

[69fuchs]

Just what it says. how many we're built?

I show 3605.....but a better question is how many GREEN 69 4 speed r/t's were built? 

I'll start.     mine is!!!!

[LeesRT]

1969 440, 4-speed, F6 GREEN, V21 here.

[RGA]

69 440 rt , f3 green. 4 speed sitting on the bench. Just need the shifter and hump and I'm in.

I believe its 3605 powered by the 440, add in the the Hemi cars and you get the couple hundred more.

This thread's all over the place.  From the number of 1969 R/T 440 4-spd cars in the registry (3605?), how many are in relatively "good" condition?  By "good" I mean complete, driveable, and presentable. Not "project" cars.  Also, what does that number represent (as a percentage) of the total number of 1969 R/T 440 4spd cars originally built?  Twenty percent? If I had to bet, I'd guess that it's closer to 15 percent, and maybe even less.

[tracpack440]

How many 69  R/T SE 4sp where made. Is the 69registry still not operational.

[Ghoste]

That isn't the number in the registry, thats the number that Chrysler gave as to how many they built.

As mentioned above by Ghoste, 3605 is amount of '69 440/4spd Chargers built by Chrysler, not the amount of cars registered.  I think there were about 200-300 registered.

[moparfan53]

How many 69  R/T SE 4sp where made...

I have a '69 R/T SE 4spd myself and have researched that question. It appears that will never be known due to the way Chrysler kept production records. The records show 20,057 Charger R/T's built. Out of those, 3,605 were 4spd cars and 4,243 were SE cars. As far as I know, there are no records of how many had both the 4spd and SE option.  

Is the 69registry still not operational.

Not online yet. I am sure Ghoste will have it up as soon as he can. Setting up and running a website is much more work than most people realize. I ran one for several years myself so know from experience. Chris did a great job with it for many years. I am thankful that Ghoste stepped up to take over the challenge of running it.

Here are the '69 Charger R/T production figures.

[Ghoste]

And just so everyone knows I am working on it, actually thought I would have it up again a couple of weeks ago but Christmas held sway, very shortly I promise.

In moperfan53's post, the graph shows 432 Hemicars built, auto and 4-speed combined. However,  what is the "XS29J9B   29" listed as.  It confuses my pea-brain as to what this number is supposed to represent.

My Charger is XS29J9B...... but it looks as if it is counted among the 226 auto Hemi Chargers in the other part of the graph.
