Rarest that I know personally?  Hmmm, I know of a 69 Coronet RT original owner survivor.  There is also a local collector with several Mopars that are never taken out.  Among them are one of the Hemi 69 500's press cars and a 70 Hemi Challenger.  You have to go by his place frequently to spot them, every once in awhile when you go by the bay doors will be open.

It depends a lot on how far you break down the options. If the options are broken down far enough it's possible that there are hundreds if not thousands of 1 of 1s out there. The general combo of my car is pretty rare though, 1 of 74 1968 383/2bbl/4spd.

If you have no vision or creative spirit, you can always fall back on the way the factory did it.

Probably 1 of 37, with the conservative assumption that half are crushed or rotting somewhere. Generally most Mopar 4-speeds are rare.

Somewhere I have a picture of something similar...there was a 1970, I believe, Coronet R/T convertible, green, 1 of 1, that was on display at the Peterson Auto Museum in LA.  It had a white interior.
Do I have the last, operational Popcar Spacemobile?

The latest info on the 70 R/T hemi verts indicate there were three. Two have surfaced...the one Canada sold car and one export car. The US built car is still unacoutned for AFAIK.
Seeking information on '69 St. Louis plant VINs, SPDs and VONs. Buld sheets and tag pictures appreciated. Over 3,000 on file thanks to people like you.

I had a 1968 Charger that had to be kind of rare, but not too desireable. It was ordered with tick tock tach, heavy duty suspension, power brakes with larger drums, and 318 engine!

Nice Charger :drool5:....  Trav used to have a blue version (if I remember right), but sold it a year or so ago.  That one was a 1 of 1 with the side moldings added to the make/model/engine option.  I'm still looking for the 500 SE version.  Either of those make my base model look common.......

On the opposite side of the engine combos for the 1970 Charger 500s, exactly one came factory with a 426 Hemi and it also was the first Charger made for that model year.  Last I knew, Howie in NJ still had that one in his collection......

That would be my choice for rarest...XP29R0G100001 the first 70 Charger built, the first 70 model off the St. Louis line of any model and the only 70 Charger 500 with a 426 Hemi (wasn't even an option for the 500). That is rare.

1966 coronet 4 door sedan.....with a 426 hemi...yes, factory original.saw it at a car show 20 yrs ago, it was in our group  out at Chelsea Michigan touring the proving grounds....
