Can anyone tell me how many of the following cars were produced?
1968 Dodge Charger RT
440 4speed, Dana
B5 Blue Ext/Int.
White top

I don't think they broke down the numbers on 68's...

Beyond finding out how many 4-speed R/T's there were, you won't get an accurate breakdown on any '68 or newer Chrysler product like you're asking for.  Chrysler's records sorta disappeared for any car built after the '67 model year, although no one seems to know for certain what happened to them.  I've heard all sorts of "lost in a fire", "damaged by water"  --  you can pick your own reason, but they're gone nonetheless.

The best you might get is how many a particular Registry has logged with those options (e.g. Galen's Registry).

BTW, I'm fairly certain that all '68 440 4-speeds would have come with a 3.54 Dana 60 axle.

Sounds like a nice car though!!!

The Chrysler Historical Foundation states that 17,600 Charger R/T's were built in the 1968 model year, 14,400 were auto & 2,700 were manual.

What were the other 500?

Secret prototypes, racing bodies in white, and crash test shells.
