how many canadian 68 R/Ts

[68 CHARGER R/T]

i googled it up but cant really find the specs on how many were built for canada   

[Ghoste]

According to Galens little book there were 22 Hemi ones but he doesn't show a total RT shipment to Canada.

According to Galens little book

Do you have one?

[68 CHARGER R/T]

I wish mines a 440 auto

I have the number 3,517 built to Cdn specs written in my file.That includes all 68 charger's not just R/T's.
I did write a letter to Chrysler Canada many many years ago asking for production numbers.I'm sure that's where I got that number from.
No way did I throw it out just a matter of where is it.

[Magnumcharger]

Ok...maybe it's possible to extrapolate Canadian shipped R/Ts as an approximate ratio, based on the US production numbers?
I'm not certain of the volume of Chargers actually shipped to Canada, but say it is 3517.

R/T production is what percentage of overall Charger US numbers?
The ratio for R/Ts verses non in Canada should be somewhat similar.

Another way of guesstimating...since the numbers of Hemi R/T's shipped to Canada is already known, what percentage of R/Ts were Hemicars in the States?

(I'd love to know where my Charger R/T was originally sold!)

In the book-Charger-Road Runner Super Bee-. The numbers for 68 are 74,925 charger 17,665 charger R/T.Does not say if that is only U.S. prod.
I recall the total for 68 being something around 96,000 and change.If that is true when you add the Cdn numbers into the mix it sounds right.

Feel free to check my numbers...by no means am I a mathematician!

Robin, got anything for Canadian base '69s?

Nope....but found this on '68s...http://www.theautochannel.com/vehicles/muscle/chrysler/chry_68_chrg.frame.

[69bronzeT5]

Damn...I'm sure there's a list out there of Canadian '69s with mine on it

Found this interesting in above article...

"...After 06/01/68, all Charger R/T models ordered with the Hemi engine and four-speed combination were built with exposed headlights, flush grille, and chrome windshield reveal molding...."       

Care to venture they're referring to the '69 Charger 500? 

[Magnumcharger]

Obviously, they're full of shit!

Your math is fine (I didn't really check. ), but hypothesis may or may not be valid.
What do we have that says the ratios would be the same?
If something like that exists - even if anecdotal, then you're on to something.
If not, then we're just guessing - and that's okay - ya gotta start somewhere, right?

I know you said as much in your earlier post - "Ok...maybe it's possible to extrapolate C"
As long as we remember that and everyone reading this knows about that, then things are good, I think.
Better to be clear about it now before the numbers get spread around the 'net as "fact".

I'm not knocking you or your method. I just want to point out, again, to anyone reading that the one piece of info that makes this all work is missing..... ( I say "again" because you did it in an earlier post.)

or did I miss it and we do have an idea that the ratios were the same - or even close.

Good stuff for discussion, though. 

[Magnumcharger]

Yeah..I hear ya.
This is how "factoids" are created!

Knowing that there is and was approximately 10 times as many Americans as there are Canadians, a person could surmise that the US market can support ten times as many vehicles by sales volume.
With that being said, the production figures of 96,000 units produced, with only 3500 going to Canada doesn't make sense.
However, I seem to recall that around 10% of Charger Daytona production made it across the river from Detroit.
Right or wrong?

Right.
To put that 3500 number into perspective.I do have two numbers for 69 charger R/T's sold in Canada.One is 710 the other 758.Doesn't seem like a lot does it?

Hey Troy, I have that Chrysler memo somewhere. I believe it is posted on the Winged Warriors site. This is why I always presumed there had to be more than one 68 Charger 500.............

Located that letter.
For Canadian cars,
Base model '69-2,761
            '69 R/T-758   
It does not list '68 R/T's from the base models,just a total for all (3,517)     

[69bronzeT5]

Thanks UFO. Any stats for Crosstown Motors by any chance? Probally unlikely.

The verbage in the above referenced web-site is the same as portions in the Red Book for Dodge and Plymouth Muscle Car. Either that book plagerized from that web-site or the web site from the book. See http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,38863.0.html.
