Saw a GL clone last weekend, and guess what... 69 /6 car how many?

[RD]

It was an original XP29C car.   Yep, you guessed it, a /6, leaning tower of power car prior to it being given its current 383 powerplant.   XP on 69's mean SE correct?

The owner knows jack about chargers in general, he just bought the car because he is a dukes fan, which is okay in my book.   Now it is time to educate him, but before that can happen, educate me on the XP in '69.

XP is Premium
XS is Special
XX is the Charger 500 and the Daytona Charger

SE is just a package on the charger.

Also, I don't believe they made a C code car.  They made a G code which is a 383

it showed on the VIN XP29C  I am certain.

Sometime's the G looks like a C.  I could be wrong though.

Anyone else have a answer for this one??

[mustanghater]

it was a 6cly? and it was a SE? wonder how rare that is.

[RD]

it was a XP29C9

i looked up the VIN on the VIN decoder and it stated that C is a special order /6.   How many 69 /6 cars were made? anyone?

[kikgas01]

I think 100 or so.

[MoparYoungGun]

I think 100 or so.

I don't know how many but it was sure way less than 100.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Actually the code for a /6 would be "B"

I have 2 in the registry now.   Not sure on the total prod # but it isnt very high

Your C should be a G for 383 2 bbl

The slant six was actually added to the range for this year, though only about 500 were sold. Slant-powered Chargers, if left unmodified, would have been fairly slow.

I was wrong it was 500!!

[ChargerHound69]

My little red book says the same thing 

542 6 cyl
B code for 6 cyl

[RD]

is there such thing as a C code motor?

[ChargerHound69]

NO C code that I can C

there is a "C" code there though.

yeah i know, i am getting more and more confused.

i need to get a pic of that fendertag!

[ChargerHound69]

They are probably talking about all mopars in general, not just chargers. 

I have a feeling not too many people special ordered a 6 cyl. charger.

[Chad L. Magee]

My little red book says the same thing  

542 6 cyl
B code for 6 cyl

There were 5 1969 Charger SE /6 made according to some info I got from a former 69 /6 owner up in Washington state (his was a SE according to the fender tag).   As for the "C" code, I don't remember if 1969 used the C or B (I think in 68 it was B), but in 1970 it was most definately C for a 225 " /6 Charger.......

[ChargerHound69]

Very interesting.

I guess allpar,myself and Galen Govier is wrong.

2 or 3 years ago I found a /6, 3-speed column shift 1969 Charger, it intrigued me because of its rarity, although not desirable as 440 and 426 cars i wished i would have bought it.

[ChargerHound69]

I have looked for years, and I have yet to see a 6 cyl charger in any year.

It would be interesting to see one in restored condition.  I wonder how much power they have in that big hugh car??
