In my original sunroof Charger post, 66FBCharger asked about percentages of sunroof cars that were 4-speeds, or came with SE package. With the help of Chris, Shawn, Dan, Tan Top and a few others, I have compiled some numbers for you to chew on.
So far, we have run across 47 surviving 1969 sunroof Chargers. So we are sitting at just over 12% of the original production of 391.
Additionally, there are two R/T SE sunroof cars that may or may not exist - but we have their broadcast sheets.
Updated 11/17/2015 - Another R/T SE car has turned up.
1969 sunroof pamphlet can be found here:
http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,109801.0.html
Model breakdown:
XS29 R/T's - 24 (of which 19 are SE's - 2 are just broadcast sheets)
XP29 - 25 (of which 9 are SE's)
Engine breakdown:
440-4bbl - 24
383-4bbl - 15
383-2bbl - 6
318-2bbl - 1
Transmission breakdown:
Auto - 46
4 spd - 2 ( 1 XP29 and 1 R/T)
Body color breakdown:
7 are - T5 Copper.
5 are - X9 Black.
4 each of - B5 Bright Blue, R4 Bright Red.
3 each of - F3 Light Green, V2 Hemi Orange, Y2 Yellow.
2 each of - B3 Light Blue, F5 Medium Green, F6 Bright Green, Y4 Gold.
1 each of - A4 Silver, F8 Dark Green, Q5 Turquoise, R6 Red, T3 Light Bronze, T7 Dark Bronze, W1 White, Y3 Cream, 99 Butterscotch.

Scott,
Could I get a copy of the sunroof pamphlet you mentioned?
The two surviving 4 speed cars, can you provide some more info on them? Are they R/Ts? Do you have pics of them? I have a R/T 4 speed car now. But, to me, the ultimate would be to own a R/T 4 speed sunroof car.

I have a 70.... My buddy had that nice black 69 survivor with the tan interior....I will try and find the details on that one.

Hey Jim,
I have run across your FC7 car in a couple of posts you authored either here or over at the 70 Charger Registry. That was a very nice score. If you could pass along any info/pics on that black 1969 sunroof Charger, that would be awesome.
Thanks, Scott.

Was that sunroof a roof you bought and installed or was the car a sunroof car? If so. what was it from the factory?

Daytona R/T SE,

I bought the entire roof from a guy that parted the car out several years ago.
I later transplanted the sunroof mechanism into my car.
The roof came off of a yellow with white interior 1970 Dodge Charger. :Twocents:
Yes, the roof was from an original factory sunroof car. ;)

Sacrificed ? :shruggy:
To be clear:
I didn't do it. :nono:
The car was long dead and gone when I bought the sunroof and some other parts the guy kept off of it.
Besides...
It was a '70 :eek2:...

XS29 - 112

XP29 - 54
I find it interesting that 9 of the XH cars had them.
i had a xp 69 sunroof parts car in the early 80's.cut the quarters out for another car i had and sold it for 250. Wish we all new what the cars would have been worth in the future back then.
What is the XH for in '70?

as far as I know , the XH charger 1970 , was a base model , bench seat , no upper door pads , no clock , no belt mouldings ,
I await to be corrected on any of this , by the 70 charger mob :2thumbs: :coolgleamA: :cheers:
Thanks, tantop.
That's what I thought, but I'm not really up on the '70 Chargers.
Which is why I find it interesting. It was the cheapest least adorned way to get a Charger and the sunroof was the most expensive option they could get.

Those 9 customers really-really wanted a sunroof, and had to cheap out on the rest of the car to afford it. :lol:
It would be interesting to know if any of the 9 were customer ordered, or if most/all were dealer ordered/sales bank cars. Maybe Chrysler sent these 9 "cheap" sunroof cars to dealers in sunny climates to try and drum up sales. Would also be fun to actually come across one of these cars for the registry. Scott.
Is there any factory records on the sunroof cars other than percentages built? Does ASC still exist? Did they have records/pictures of any cars being converted to sunroof cars?

ASC is still around in one form or another, but any history I fear is long gone. There have been several sunroof owners that have contacted the current business about reproducing the cables and a few other parts for older sunroof cars, but they don't seem very interested. ::)
Fortunately, there are a few people actively collecting original sunroof parts, and a few that are starting to reproduce a few of the minor parts on a small scale.

Hi Scott - Don't have the VIN or tag info handy - but I found some pics. Total survivor.....I think 95% + original paint.
It belonged to Richard Heidbreder, who sold it to another buddy....who then sold it again to parts unknown. I'm sure someone on here will recognize it....it was one awesome survivor.

Thanks Tan Top! I am still gathering info on that one - One of our former club members actually owned that one, way up here in South Dakota many years back. He is mentioned in that MCG article from 2000. He moved to Texas last year and I am still trying to catch up with him. Scott.

So myold car is the only 318 sunroof car around? I will look in my photos when I get home but pretty sure at one time there was like 15-18 sunroof 69's that were owned by board members.
That black RT/SEis the ideal sunroof 69. Last time I saw it was about a year ago and it was for sale then for $60k.
I have been looking for a sunroof set up for my other Charger project. If anyone knows of a parts car or a roof already cut off of a car let me know.

Yes, 69_500 - Your old car is the only 318 sunroof 1969 Charger that I have found so far. If you have any additional pics/info on sunroof cars - I sure would appreciated the help!
Have updated the statistics page - learned a little more on a couple of cars that I already had.

Thanks for keeping the eyeballs peeled Tantop! What a nice looking car - the mudflaps would have to go bye-bye though. I will update my sheet and statistics soon. Scott.
Alright, calling on the 1969 experts. Please check my homework here on this car.
XP29G9 Car 383-2bbl / Auto
Ad says F4 exterior but no F4 on paint charts for 1969. Looks like F5 Medium Green.
C6G green interior with V1W white top.
C21 Center buddy seat, C55 Buckets, M21 Drip Rail Mouldings, M31 Belt Mouldings, and since it has an antenna mast, it has an Rxx radio of some sort.
I see a nicer steering wheel, pedal dress-up, and a badge on the C-pillars. Are these signs of the SE package? If so, that usually means CRG green vinyl/ leather interior.
Thanks for the help, Scott.
I believe that's a regular at MATS, yes it's a SE ..... I'll see if I can find any more details (you should have this one :scratchchin:)
AM 8-track (R22?) radio.
Thanks Dan and Dual fours, looks like we have a match. This one looks to be car #071 - now I have some decent pictures to go along with the car data. The bummer is that we don't get to advance the 1969 charger sunroof statistics - as this one is already accounted for. Scott. :2thumbs:

Bingo! Thanks Dan.

Unless I missed it, there is no reserve or it has met the reserve.

Scott.
Heard back from the seller, and unfortunately, this one does not retain its original fender tag. He is searching for a broadcast sheet at the moment. On a more exciting note - One more 1969 R/T SE sunroof car has been located and its restoration is nearly completed. It is very similar to Red Kilby's charger, but is even more loaded if you can believe that. Hopefully the owner will share a little when it is finally done. I have updated the statistics page for the eBay car and the new R/T SE.
come across this while searching the net for charger stuff , for charger / mopar fans !! not a good site to see :icon_smile_blackeye: :'(

Wish I knew what happened to the R/T SE with a sun roof that was in a fellas backyard back in the 1980's. It had every option and some I didn't know they had on a Charger. It was a gold car and 440 auto. It was a solid car too.

:yesnod: yes soo many , see 6 mistakes I think :o , 7 if you could not get a white hat special with a sun roof :scratchchin: :shruggy:
interesting thread. :popcrn: Does anyone know what these cars are worth in need of a resto? Mine needs a full resto but I currently drive it in the summers. Runs and drives great but the motor is a bit tired. It is all original numbers matching 383 2 bbl. I don't know that I will ever have enough resources to restore it like it needs to be. I also have a 71 SE w/ a 69 440 HP in decent shape but in pieces at the moment. Working on it slowly...what I can here and there. I've thought about selling both of them to get a completed 69 or willing to trade if anyone might be interested. have threads with pics somewhere on here if anyone interested let me know :2thumbs:

What?! But it has rust and everything. :D
Thanks Tan Top - got excited at first - then reality hit. You are right Chris - that is a badly done tag! Well, that one will definitely stay an orphan. Best scenario is a real sunroof car with a lost fender tag. Bummer. It would be nice to see this car completely stripped with lots of detailed pics of the sunroof area, roof, and pillars. ::)
Scott.
see you already have this one , thought I would post these pictures , in case you have not seen them :scratchchin: , sounds like the owner is not going to restore it to OEM :scratchchin:
:popcrn:
Yep,
I check back on that car once in a while. Interestingly enough, that car and the one above with the funny fender tag are less than 100 digits apart in their VINs.
Scott.
A shame about the pro touring part. :Twocents:

Bump - statistics have been updated with the latest 1969 sunroof Charger pamphlet release. Scott.
Bump again! A couple of new X9 Black cars have emerged. One R/T SE Triple Black project in Massachusetts, and a Black/Black R/T in Florida. No pictures as of yet - but I did update the pamphlet.

1969 RT SE B5 Sunroof ,white int , white top , every option. Los Angeles car I brought up to Canada , I changed it to a Daytona, added a 70 black SE Int... now in northern Alberta. Condition unknown.
XS29L9B225536 ( if memory serves me correct) Here is a pic soon after I rescued it from the streets of Eagle Rock, LA...street raced and banged up, orig front seats gone, sunroof was siliconed shut. I drove over to ASC and got a new seal from them for $12. (this was 1988 approx) Sunroof worked great after a little work. Has it resurfaced?

DonC1,
Your old car is accounted for in the statistics, and is in the 1969 sunroof Chargers pamphlet at the link above. I have not seen it surface yet. I have a contact in central Alberta that is into these sunroof cars - I will check with him. Scott.
UPDATE: My contact in central Alberta has not come across a car that fits your description. He will keep an eye out for it now.
Just got on board i am a sun roof charger owner. T3 T3. 383 2 barrel. Xp29. My son has a general lee. It is a M code car one of 826 440 six pack charger. Im a new member and injoy mopar conversations. Thanks for having me.
Hey Mark,
Thanks for chiming in. Would love to hear more on your 69 sunroof Charger. Just glancing through the sunroof registry - looks like I have just one T3 383 2bbl car - last known in the Oklahoma City area around 2008. Any chance this is your car?
Thanks! Scott.

hey scott.thanks for reply back. Yes that is my car. It came from old mopar collector. It took a while to get it and one nice 340 barracuda. I just got the title 42 done about 4 or 5 months ago. I plan to put a DC block back 383 reversed warter jackets. Someone put pedals in the car. But i will put it back auto. I will also add a tic toc tack that I've been saving. For the car is in good shape but will take a lot of mopar love. Witch i have boxes of. Un till next time.

it really surprised me to see my car. Scott that pic had to been took about 3 to 4 years before the person i got it from had it. Here in oklahoma. P L Smith. In okc area. I spent a LOT of time matching marks and scratches bumps spots in the grill missing etc. The same car. Even contacted the man i got it from and his friend and they even said it was the same car. Also other pic of it and my sons car which came from the same place a M code 69 charger.having problem sending pictures. Ps. It looks better now. Not to much but better. Thanks man. KOOL.
Mark,
If you are still having problems posting a picture, you could email it to me and I could size it and reduce it so it posts. If you click on my user name you will find my email address. Plus, I have a higher resolution picture of your car that I could send you. Let me know.
Scott.

Mark,
Don't know if that was a typo on your part - but the B and 9 should be switched around for the proper VIN format - XS29M9B303832.
There are several very very very knowledgeable members on this site that I am guessing are going to be very skeptical of an M code 69 Charger existing. To my knowledge, and someone correct me if I am wrong, the A12 option code for the 6 Pack/6 BBL was only available on the 1969 Road Runner and the 1969 Super Bee. Again correct me - when these cars were built, they were originally built as 440 cars with RM23L9B/WS23L9B on the fender tag - but the engine code was changed to an M on the dash VIN when the outside conversion to the 6 Pack/6 BBL was completed. Or is it the other way around - L on the dash VIN and M on the fender tag?
So, does this car have an original VIN tag/fender tag that has XS29M9B303832 on it? There have been several documented cases of typos on VIN/fender tags also, could this be the case? Typos on Titles are even a more common occurrence. Again, someone correct me if I am off on this - is it possible to take a 69 Super Bee/Coronet shell, and outfit it with 69 Charger sheet metal? Could this possibly be an A12 Super Bee shell that was made into a Charger?
Anyway Mark, the Charger community would very much like to see any documentation you might have on your M code charger. Until hard proof is brought forth, you are probably going to catch a little flack about an M code Charger. It would certainly be an eye-opener if such an animal existed.
Thanks,
Scott.

we also have to think of this. A roadrunner is a plymouth they are 6 barrel. Dodge is 6 pack.the cornet is like the chargers brother. So naturally they would use a super bee heart . The dashes are the same. I'd would think. Something to chew on.
XS29M9B303832 - IMO, if that's what the original VIN tag & fender tag show, they are both typos - can you share pics & is there a fender tag?
9B303832 would've pre-dated the introductin of "M"-code b-bodies - the earliest 440+6 cars were "scheduled" 3/29/69 at Lynch Rd. "A"
I don't have info in front of me, but the Charger's SPD would've been late-February, early-March.
the RRs are RM21M9A & RM23M9A - the Bees are WM21M9A & WM23M9A, the fender tags have the 383 engine code "E63"
(the first few 6bbl RRs have RM21H9A & RM23H9A VINs - not sure if the Bees have the same issue?)
Thanks Dan - I knew you would straighten me out. I didn't realize that the 6 Pack/6 BBL cars came out so late in the model year!

Thanks TT! Got some new angles on this car now. Little old lady (now) outside of Nashville purchased this car new and drove it until about 2005. Sat in her yard for about 10 years when the crew from Team Witt Customs was able to persuade her to sell it. They drug it back to the shop and got it running and driving again. Good to see they are getting it out to some shows.

Is there a number on how many 69 sunroof chargers are known to still exist?
Right now, I have 48 sunroof chargers for 1969. Some of these are cars that have been in different registries, and I have not actually been contacted directly by the owners. But that is a solid number given that there are probably several more out there that I have yet to uncover. I have several more cars that I just have info on that may not exist anymore - ie. the Black RT/SE that was caught in the that major shop fire that took out several other nice mopars - including a wing car. Then I have pictures and scant info on several other cars that could be matches to other cars that are in the sunroof registry and just haven't made the connection yet. Have you found the Mopar Sunroof Registry website yet? I just got it up and running in the last couple of months - www.moparsunroofregistry.com
Scott.
I was not aware of that site. Thanks! Wow...48 that's a low number...agree there's probably more of there but it's pretty cool to see my car there. Good stuff...thanks for your efforts!!

The 29 R/T SE sunroof Chargers for 1969 is the best most current accepted number for these cars - I think its a GG number. The 17 known to exist are the ones in the Mopar Sunroof Registry - 16 that I have Fender Tag / Buildsheet info on, and the F6 car that Jim Radke used to own that still eludes me - squirreled away in a collection in the southwest US.
In addition to these 17 - there are 3 others that I have info on but no proof they still exist. The first is the Triple black car that was pummeled by Hurricane Katrina, then possible burnt to a crisp in a resto-warehouse fire - I have a VIN and a picture, but am not sure this car is still around. There was a Y2 car sold new in Rocky Mountain House, Alberta that I have not caught up with yet. And a dealer invoice for a B3 car that has not surfaced yet.
Scott.
Nice car, but for an outrageous price of 168 large, the thing should be restored to better than new condition, which it isn't.

And for crying out loud, if you're going to advertise a car, what's it take to clean the white letter tires, arrange the seat belts so they are neat, align the broken plastic on the end of the console and vacuum the carpet? ::)

Forget the white letter tires....look at that stripe angle! Yikes!
I have been told that the 29 number is based on someone doing basic math by percentage,and that may not be the accurate number.

I agree. In my opinion it's not worth $168K. Its great looking and has a 4 speed and sunroof, but for $168K, it would have to be a complete 99 point concours resto for me to pay the asking price.
How about those wrinkles on the verticals sections of the upper cowl in the engine bay? I don't think I've seen others look like that.
I believe I have but given the numbers of cars you've worked on KernDog now Im questioning my memory.
Does anyone know where to find original ad for this?

That ad is out of Car and Driver magazine from 1968. I am not sure which month or months it was run. Most likely late summer or fall. I too would love to have the original ad.

:o that's interesting I too would love to see the original ad :scratchchin: :popcrn:
Tracked down the issue of Car and Driver. October of 1968. It is the issue that introduces the new car lines for 1969. The sunroof picture is not technically an ad. It is a page in the Chrysler section of the magazine that features "New Innovations". Found a copy on feeBay and its on its way. I will post a scan of the entire page when I get it. Scott.
Good Job! I spent hours last night looking, could not find Contents on line.. Just the whole issue.. just did not know which issue.. I suspected October as it said it was the New Car issue..

You've grown accustomed to seeing OCD restored engine compartments over the years, and also living in California, where the automotive trend has always been to lather the vehicle in gallons of bondo and carve the car into shape...
Here is the full page - part of a larger article on the new cars for 1969.
Thanks for posting that.. It opens up a whole new view for me :coolgleamA:
have a look at this :o

Alright Charger experts. The Radio code is hard to make out in the video - but - as he videos the car - can you tell if that is a standard dash, or a three speaker dash?? Thanks, Scott.

If you look at the video at the 36 second mark you can see the top of the dash
Can see the speaker grill in the center and the two windshield defrost vents on either side but there are not the extra speaker grills present
couldn't make out the 928 number. do anyone know what it is ?

Possibly 928346 ?
Looks like XP29G9B379755
Puts it right smack in the middle of a bunch of Daytona's built at that time...
Yeah, tough one to make out. I did some video captures and was able to make out all but the radio code. Couldn't tell if it was R11 or R21, but with no 3 speaker dash, that rules out R21. Here is the tag:
P31 R21 26 END
G11 G33 H51 L31 M21 M31
A01 A47 B41 B51 C16 C55
B3 B3 CRD B7 513 928346
E61 D32 XP29 G9B 379755
Scott.
Edit: After the discussion below and Dan's picture of the tag - the radio code looks to be R21 - which I have corrected in the tag data above.
1969-'70 b-body "R21" AM/FM was a single speaker mono radio = NO outboard stereo speakers on dash
Do I have my radios mixed up?? Was it the R22 AM 8 Track that got the 3 speaker dash?? Thanks Dan!
yes, R22 is the AM with 8-track stereo & 3-speaker dash
looks like R21 to me
did you catch the interior in the video?
coded for blue leather, but has blue dash & carpet with white vinyl seats/door panels & white head liner in a SE Charger :coolgleamA: AWESOME!!
without the video - I would've guessed that NEVER HAPPENED :eek2:

Yes, I need to copy down what he says in the video - great history on this car. White leather interior was not available with the SE package - but the customer got her white interior anyway!
Anybody have a complete or fairly complete 69-70 sunroof setup? Restoring a sunroof car that has some roof rust issues, any leads would also be greatly appreciated it. Willing to pay good money. Or even the sunroof Lid.
try Jim Boros, 763-229-6888.
called him he has a few ford and lincoln sunroofs but no charger ones
think you already got this one , but thought this video would be of interest to post here :cheers:

I have one of the 383-2bbl ones at my place, replacing the sunroof with another one from a donor sunroof charger that got removed with quarters, trunk exc,exc... it's an S.E. power window, fm radio, rear defrost, a/c car too

Wouldn't it be easier to just "lift up" the donor sunroof example..... and slide what's left of the other one underneath ?
Then a coupla VIN pop rivets and Fender Tag screws and DONE ! :laugh:
It's just the sunroof section of the donor, there's nothing wrong with the structure of the car, just need typical charger sheet metal.

Very cool CB - do I have your sunroof car in the Registry already?
Scott.

There is a picture of the inside of the roof
Looks like it would take up a lot of head room :(
The sunroof cartridge takes up about two inches of headroom. If you are real tall,you can stick your head through the sunroof like the guy did in that Bert Reynolds movie! I think it was that Gator movie IIRC!

Do they still use the same head liner bows or shorten them up some but still work the same way ??
When I sit in my car my hat just ticks on head liner so I take it off in the car
Just thought if the inside of the roof is much lower on sun roof car it might get a little annoying ( yes I know can take the blocks out from under the seats)
Sunroof cars use different headliner bows. The rear one may be the same,but the others are different. I think there is 5 on sunroof cars,and 6 on non sunroof cars IIRC.
On the 69 Charger factory equipped with a sunroof should the code M51 be on the data plate or is it only found on the Broadcast sheet? If not how do you know if it is a real sunroof car? Also for the 69 SE Charger shouldn't the code A47 be on the data plate? Thanks guys!
I believe M51 is just on sheet, A47 should be on tag.
Perfect! Thanks.
There was a green/tan top/black headrest interior, sunroof Charger SE at Carlisle this past weekend. XP29H9B368483

Factory 1969 sunroof Chargers will have 928 for the first 3 digits of the 6 digit Vehicle Order Number on the fender tag.
