Mike, I got these numbers from Chrysler Historical in 1986:
9,862 440 automatic hardtops, 362 automatic converts
4,004 440 4 speed hardtops, 178 4 speed converts
14,406 Total
The numbers on the Hemi cars were mixed up. It looks like 98 426 automatics, (I think 98 but not clear?) 4 speeds with 6 automatic converts and 5 4 speed converts
On a side note, they reported (15) 440 RoadRunner automatic converts!!, no 4 speeds and no A12 converts. This was in their writing on a spread sheet I mailed to them asking for production figures on RR's and GTX's from 67-71

Mike, that's right. Consider there were about 1/2 that many 70 GTX's.
Seeking:
1969 St. Louis plant VINs, SPD, and VONs.
Over 2,000 thanks to you!

 Yep; 16,000 is LOTS compared to some models. Consider;
- 14,139 '70 Super Bees
- 6,874 '69 Coronet R/T's
- 2,391 '70 coronet R/T's
...they made over 6 times the number of '69 GTX's as they did '70 Coronet R/T's....

You really cant compare the different years, all 70s have lower production than 69
69.5 A12 Bee, first purchased in 1976, car 169 on registry
69 Coronet R/T 440/4 spd
69 Coronet 500 Conv H code 383 4bbl/auto
37 Plymouth PU
Find your spot on earth and ride it.

Yeah, that's a mistake.
On another note, I see a lot of numbers here. Some are being posed as total production but I'm guessing they're just cars destined for the US, while breakdowns by engines most likely are US-spec numbers and don't reflect total numbers.

They didnt have Cudas and Challengers in 69. More models offered in 70. Plus the Superbird production was 4 times the Daytona.

  ....but I still know what you meant: 
1969 saw the first appearance of the 'Cuda designation for a performance Barracuda package. A limited number of 440 Darts and Barracudas were produced. Car Life tested the 'Cuda 440 at 0-60 in 5.6 sec, and 14.0 @ 103 in the quarter mile. They were disappointed. It seemed that they just couldn't get the car to hook up. It kept spinning the tires. (Car Life, June/69). Another period road test, reprinted in Musclecar magazine, backs up the 14-flat quarters, but they also tried it with ten-inch slicks, and ran low 12s. Modern street tires are better than those slicks ...

So what you meant to say was all B body production went down, except for wing cars.

Its odd they made 16K 69 gtx's, and 44K 68 RR and at shows around here there is usually 3 or 4 69 gtx's for every 68rr and maybe 6 69rr to every 68. if that makes sense..
I have a feeling that people who bought RR's beat the crap out of them and people who bought GTX's were much more responsible drivers. I am sure that accounts for alot of it.
