[nutz]

someone made a post of how many 67s /68s /69s
and 69s where in the 1500s is that true read they are all gt trim in 69

 

[Dana67Dart]

Around 4000 darts and around the same barracudas.

Loose numbers


This is from classics website can't vouch for the accuracy

I know that about 3729 dart convertible were made out of the 38225 made about 10 %

So at about 10% converts per car model..



69 dart 33,068 - 3,307 converts
69 barracudas 31,987 - 3,199 converts

I saw a list, years ago, wrote down the number, but can't remember where! There used to be a lot of Dart convertibles, in southern Ontario, years ago. Besides mine, I still see them occasionally.

I moved from So Cal to Northern Colorado. I never expected to see another dart convertible. BUT I know of 8 in my area. 6 - 67s and 2 68s or 69s

According to G.G. there were 3729 Dart convertibles in 1967, 4228 Barracudas, 2267 Dart GT's in 1968, 450 GTS's, and 2840 Barracudas that year. I don't have the '69 figures.

 

[Dana67Dart]

450 GTS's,

convertibles?

 

[cudamark]

yes

 

[cudamark]

His numbers don't seem to add up though when looking at the breakdown.

 

[prodart440]

1969- 1837 Dart GT convertibles, 417 GTS convertibles
Barracuda Convertibles 1442

 

[cudamark]

He has 315 340's and 80 383's in 1968, That looks to add up to 395.

 

[cudamark]

44 and 40 4 speeds respectively. The rest automatics.

 

[Dana67Dart]

Still, that's only about 16,000 A body Convertibles, maybe half still in existence - 8,000 of those in existence half on the road - 4,000 over 3 years and 2 car lines, we are a rare breed! (Ii think I'm being generous in the half exist / on the road assumption)

 

[cudamark]

7085 A-body convertibles in 1966.

So my 66 is no were near as rare as 67 to 69 together
Back in 83 when I bought my 69 gt ht
In the days before internet i remember seeing a listing for a 69 383 convert
Thought to my self they never put 383s in darts ....then was looking in the owners manual and saw 383 listed thinking boy did i miss out

don't beat yourself up.

in the 80s I could have bought an Edsel in great condition for $800.00 and passed ONLY because I did not have enough credit on my credit card for a cash advance.

also passed up, oddly for the same amount and in the same grocery store parking lot a Black 61-65 ish Lincoln Continental with the suicide doors
