Here are some more information for Roadrunner Gtx Charger:

The 1969 Dodge Charger is another model of performance car based off of the "B" platform created by the Chrysler Corporation. Another muscle car to utilize this frame is the Challenger, also produced by Dodge. The Charger was created to compete with other cars like the Pontiac GTO, Buick Gran Sport and the Oldsmobile 442. Although the company previously had models that were as powerful as the other muscle cars, it didn't have a body style or image worthy of competing until it produced the Charger. The vehicle would quickly gain popularity, and each subsequent year was made more powerful.

The '69 Charger was just about entirely overhauled as the company wanted a new image for the car. One of the main purposes was to separate the appearance of this particular vehicle from that of the sibling Coronet. The new design was considered the "double diamond" or coke bottle styling. This names derives from the side profile which is rounded around to meet the front fenders and rear body panels in a way that resembles a coke bottle. The rear was enhance in appearance with what appears to be a kick up towards the mock spoiler. Similar to previous models the headlights were buried a few inches into the grille, making them virtually invisible during the daytime.

The 1969 Dodge Charger was offered with a great assortment of engines and transmissions. Beyond the base trim levels were the, R/T (road / track), Special Edition, Charger 500 and Charger Daytona. Both the 500 and Daytona models were created so that the company would have cars capable of competing in NASCAR competitions. The two packages were not created for the average customer. Another famous adaptation of the Charger is the "General Lee" which gained notoriety in different movies.

Both Special Edition and Charger R/T models came with more interior accessories and accents than any previous model year, which makes these cars highly desirable to collectors. Interior features include leather bucket seats for both the driver and front passenger, specially designed wood grain steering wheels, and wooden accents on the front dash panel. Other unique features to these high end models include deep set wheel covers, brightly trimmed pedals, delayed ignition lighting and special turn signal indicators.

The Charger 500 and Daytona's body styling was adapted for better performance. Both vehicle's rear windows were slanted at a more drastic slope so that they set flush with the rear of the body. Their grilles were made flush instead of inset, to allow for easier airflow and speed. There is such a great selection of body styles and equipment available to satisfy any collector's taste.

Standard on all models was a V-8 (318 cubic inch) engine capable of producing upwards of 230 horsepower. Optional engines for '69 include the 4 barrel 383 and a 2 barrel 361. Perhaps one of the most important factors to take notice of is the introduction of the infamous Hemi engine for this model year as well. Standard on all cars was a 3 speed manual transmission. Optional equipment included either a 4 speed manual or the Torqueflite 4 speed automatic.

The 1969 Dodge Charger was created as an answer to other muscle cars and quickly became popular. Car enthusiasts and collectors normally can find one of these vehicles at a great price in most parts of the country.

C- Body Mopars Expect to Pay: $2500-$8000

            If you want something that is still from the 60s and 70s but can't afford a Charger, Challenger or Roadrunner look into the C-Body Chryslers.

Cars to look for are the Plymouth Fury's, Dodge Polara's, maybe the Chrysler 300s (they will be closer to the $8000 range).

Mopar Wagons Expect to Pay: $1500-$7500

            Now by all of you 2 Door, and Coupe/Sedan only elitists just read ahead because this probably won't interest you (though you are now going to read this anyway). Good classic Mopars to look for are the Coronet Wagons, the Dodge Polara Wagon, Plymouth GTX Wagon and Plymouth Belvedere Wagon. All of these Wagons will have the same Engines as the there more known Muscle Counter parts and some of them will have the 440! These Wagons will be cheap, and can be built up just like their muscle cousins. For a few grand you can have yourself a Draggin' Wagon!

Dodge Monaco Expect to Pay: $1000-$9000- A great Car to look for, for your Mopar Project are the Dodge Monaco's. The Sedans will be cheaper and its one of the few cars where the 60s ones are more common and cheaper. If you do find a 1974 make sure it has a 440 Cop Motor, Cop Tires, and Cop Suspension.

Dodge D100 Trucks Expect to Pay: $500-$6000

By far the Cheapest Classic Mopars you can Hot Rod. If you live out in or near the Country side, you can find a lot of them for sale lying around old Farms and other large properties. Ones that have the Slant 6 cycl can be found for as low as $500. Most of these trucks will the 318, which can still be built into a great mill. The Most expensive D100s will be the "Little Red Express" trucks from the late 70s.

 

70s Plymouth Dusters Expect to Pay: $2000-$8000

            Some of the Most overlooked Mopars are the Plymouth Dusters. Surprisingly they are overlooked because in the early 70s they were common Super Stock Cars and Don Prudhome, and Tom McEwen had Duster Funny Cars. If the Duster has a Slant 6 Cycl you can find them for around $2000 in good condition. You still can find 340 or 360 powered ones for that price but expect some body work or new paint. For a good Condition ready to go Duster with a 340 expect around $6000-$8000.

Dodge Demon Expect to Pay: $2500-$10,000

            The Second most expensive car on our list, the Dodge Demon original started out as a Fastback option for the Dart but it ended up becoming the performance option. Most Demons will come with a 340 in them, the later 75-76 models will have 360s and some will have 318s. These cars are a little tougher to find then our other Mopars we mentioned, however when you do find one it will most likely be in the $3000-$6000 range with minor body and paint work needed.

73-74 Dodge Charger Expect to Pay: $5000-$10000:

            I've got some Good news and Bad news for you Charger Fans. The Good News is, it's a Dodge Charger! The Bad news is, it's not the 68-69 Charger. The Good News is, it's cheaper the the other Charger! The Bad news, still expect to pay around $5000- $10000. Some of you may not like this Charger as much as its 68-70 cousin since its not General Lee or was in Bullit. However this Charge has made a small name for its self being the star of USA's Show Burn Notice (Yes the Charger is the star) where it can be seen tearing up the Streets of Miami. Since Burn Notice is on its 5th Season, maybe these Chargers will be come collectors items one day?

Late 40's Dodge or Plymouth's Expect to Pay: $2500-$10,000

            These cars will be harder to find but they are still good to look for. If you find one, they could make a great Gasser, Hot Rod or a Street and Strip Car. These will probably need some more work than the other cars on the list. If you find a cheap $2500 one, expect to find a new mill and transmission. They are good cars though and make a great classic.

There are more Mopars that are affordable, that you can make into a great Hot Rod. Some other ones are the Dodge Dakota Trucks, the Dodge Durango's (no seriously), the Ramchargers and the Aspen's. There are affordable Mopars out there, you just gotta look! Who knowns maybe there is a nice Plymouth Duster sitting in some garage somewhere that the owner has to get rid of.

How many Mopars were built with a 440+6 engine ?

How many Mopars were built with a 440+6 engine ?
And how many for each model ? and year ?
From my research, only 8 models could have this engine from 1969 1/2 to 1971 :
Roadrunner, GTX, Superbee, Coronet r/t, Superbird, 'Cuda, Challenger r/t, Charger r/t

You posted the same question in the "General" section, and I posted a detailed response there. For one thing, there were more than 8 models.

And, yes, there are about three 1972 Charger Rallyes and Road Runner GTXs that exist with the 440+6 engine. Production was stopped by the first day or close to that.
