don't take these figures as 100% accurate

total '68 r/t 17584 
auto 14366
no color breakdowns

records were kept in %, so give or take on the actual numbers

disc brakes - 18% - 3165
power windows - 9.5% - 1670
am radio - 75.1% - 13206
a/c - 32.8% - 5768
tinted glass/all - 44.4% - 7807
center seat - 20.4% - 3587
remote mirror driver - 68.8% - 12098
hood turn signal - 76.6% - 13469
f70 white sidewall - 27.5% - 4836 (came in white or red...no numbers showing for red..so not sure what to make of these figures exactly)

Options: yes to some of them as listed above.
Colors: no with one exception. Color figures are not readily available until 1970. If they exist for years before that, I don't believe there is a public source for that information. Silver was an extra cost option so there are some numbers on that color.
Seeking information on '69 St. Louis plant VINs, SPDs and VONs. Buld sheets and tag pictures appreciated. Over 3,000 on file thanks to people like you.

I wanted to make a bullit charger but I have changed my mind. I would like it to be basically stock. I think it would look great the factory colors especially with no vinyl top.
