I don't remember if I have ever seen a GTX or R/T with a 4 speed and A/C. Did they make such animals?

No 440-4 with 4 speed and A/C in a B or E body.
IIRC, A/C may have been available in 67 or 68 C-bodies with 440-4 and 4spd ???

It had alot to do with the fact that a 440 4spd car is going to be a dana car, so you will have at least a 3:54 gear (if not a 4:10) With the 383 4-speed cars , A/C was available as most were 3:23  Greg

Could it have been special ordered? A friend of mine has a '69 440/4speed R/T SE and it's LOADED. Power Windows, Seat, Am/8track, Tach, Console, Hood Indicators, Power Discs, Wood Wheel, and yes, factory A/C. It's even a #'s matching car.

I'll look into it. He's had the car 20+ years and as long as he's had it, it's been a 4 speed. Might have been switched over the years. Whats fender tag code for 727? D34?

What was their reasoning for such? I plan on building my 73 challenger to those exact specs. 440, 4 speed, and a/c. Why wouldn't they do it?
Sounds like the ultimate ride to me.
As I understand, and it wasn't just Chrysler, A/C compressors and axle ratios over about 3.23 were verboten. It had more to do with RPM's than anything else I know of. I would guess the new compressors can take more RPM's than the old ones? Build what you like! 
As for C bodies from '67 to '68, they had Dana 53's with 4 speeds, I'm not familiar with the axle ratios available for them.

This is the second case I have heard of it. I have never seen one in person but don't doubt there may have been a few built. It likely would have been at the request of a high level factory executive that wanted one for themselves. They got what they wanted even if they would not built one for the public. Certainly all of the components were factory assembly line readily available so it would not be a big deal to do.
If the car has a broadcast sheet that will tell you if it was factory built.

...and until or unless said FT, BS or other document surfaces, then the right answer is "not available".
Dave
No, the right answer is not available in the autorized dealer order guide.
Anything like this was available from any auto manufacturer if you were the right person.
