When I did some research on the topic I found the following:

There were 32,368 RM21 cars made in 1969.
31,397 were 383CI 335HP cars
650 had the 440CI 6pak
356 had the 426CI Hemi.

There were 46,847 RM23 cars made
45,629 were 383
797 were 440
421 were 426

There were 1,890 RM27 cars made
Of which 1,880 were 383
No 440 cars were produced in a convertible
And 10 426Hemi cars of which 6 were automatic and 4 were manual.

Where I found the data they did document the number of manual transmission cars in both RM21 & RM23, but I didn't write it down, to lazy to look again. But it is out there. The purpose of my research was more for the Convertible option, which is what I have.

How many N96 / R4 you won't find any data, that I'm aware.

There were 80,914 Roadrunner made in total.

I found various sources with different numbers though, but these seem to be the most consistent. But I think 69HemiBeep is correct when he says there are no real source's at least directly from Chrysler.
I just picked up a RR. It’s a RM27 car, It has some great stock options. I am trying to find specifics on how many RR were made with the options I have. I am finding it impossible, And after reading these responses. I am guessing it can’t be done???

Story is the a lot of records were destroyed in a fire so the only "known" numbers are by body style, engine, transmission breakdown and only percentages of colors produced, no numbers on specific options.

Hello, New user here. I would like to try to determine how rare my B5 Blue 1969 convertible Roadrunner is. It has 383, 727 Auto trans, Sure grip rear end, bucket seat, console, blue interior. About all I can find is the figure 2128 convertibles built for 1969. I see from above that it is to some degreee an unsolvable mystery but any help would be appreciated.
769 4 speed
1111 auto trans

The 2128 number is total shipments, including Canada and Export, 1889 total US shipments, which is what the above numbers reflect for convertible

For the record here, there are no trackable option counts for any Chrysler product back then. They just did not track specific options per car, such as paint color, fresh air hood and such. Too much info to try to keep track of, when they really didn’t need that info.
