Seems to be a rare combo, mine is RM21 4spd., no power steering or power brakes, L1 turquoise, with a.c.. Anybody else?

I looked for a 69 4 spd RR/air for a long time and finally gave up. I ended up with a 340 Formula S fastback 4 spd with air but really wanted a RR. I have seen maybe 4 69's but never seen a 68 RR with that combo. I think any muscle Mopar with a 4 spd and air is going to be pretty rare. I bought a new one in 69 and could not afford to add some of the options I would have liked. I was more interested in performance than luxury. Not too many old or family guys who wanted a/c were buying 4 speeds and vice versa. Now the trick is going to be to get the a/c working on this 40 yr old car!

I haven't seen many 68's with 4spd's and a/c, 69's seem to pop up more ofter for sure.

I had one in 1990 just like yours, I sold it to a guy who said he wanted to restore it, the azzhole parted it out straight away. I never would have sold it to him if I knew the truth.

My friend has a 69 RM21 4 speed AC with 99 code paint.(Vit C) I've never seen a 68 4 speed AC.

Any 4 speed Mopar with A/C is rare.

I think you'd find more in the sun belt area. Especially in the hot south west.

Nice car Ademon!. I actually have inquired with GTS along with getting my A66 registered with him. Problem is I did not get any documentation with this car, it was a rolling chasis ex drag car, but I do know it spent a good part of its life in north FL. I have been able to find someone who thinks they rember the car from a race track called Pecan Park.

Hard to tell that last pic is even a `68, but it is one of the few I had showing the fire wall, so here is another.

Our 70 RR is pretty much that description except it is Rallye Red. Bench seat, manual steer and brakes, 4 speed, AC. The AC equipment forward of the firewall was gone when we got the car but the heater box with condenser and controls were still in it. The heater box and controls are now in the storage room as they are not needed here and don't want the AC.

No fender tag but the right quarter window has the Chrysler Air Temp sticker on it. No idea as to how more or less rare this combo would be in 70 as opposed to 68.

I've had it for a few years and found it on Craigslist, I think it changed hands a few times as it made its way north over a few years previous to that.

First year rr's didn't have as many options as '69's and up. I never knew it was a factory option but then my '68 coupe doesn't even have a radio. Just some funny looking engine with plug wires in the valve covers

couldn't help myself..

I'm not sure, but probably not uncommon.
