Dodge was serious about performance in
1969. The Scat pack was back and so was the Coronet R/T.
Changes included a new grille, rectangular turn indicators on the
fenders, R/T bumblebee stripe and new rear taillight panel.

The 1969 Coronet R/T was offered in
both hardtop and convertible form. Available as an option was a
Ramcharger fresh-air induction system (standard on Hemi Models) with
twin hood scoops. The 440 four barrel remained standard on the
Coronet R/T, you could add the Hemi for another $418. The 727 TorqueFlite
automatic was also standard, a four-speed manual was available as an
option. |

Dodge offered a great selection of
rear axle ratios for 1969. Depending on the standard or optional
engine and transmission, you could improve on the standard rear axle
ratio of 3.23:1 by ordering a 3.54:1, 3.55:1, 3.91:1 or a 4.10:1
Performance Axle Package. 1969 was to be the best year for combined
sales of the Dodge Scat Pack cars. The Charger R/T, Super Bee
recorded an increase in sales. However sales for the Dodge Coronet
R/T dropped. |
