1969 Coronet

The 440 Six Pack was introduced as an option in 1969. The new engine was created by taking the existing 440 and replacing the single four barrel carb with three two barrel carbs. The output was a stout 390 bhp. The new engine also received a fiberglass performance hood. Available on other Coronet R/Ts was a Ramcharger fresh-air induction system (standard on Hemis) with twin hood scoops plus a wide choice of rear axle ratios. Styling was similar to 1968 except that the previous front fender medallion became a large decal that appeared as part of the rear bumblebee stripe. The 440 four barrel remained standard on the Coronet R/Ts. The Hemi was just another $418 more. Only 96 two door hardtops (58 with four speeds) and 10 convertibles (6 with TorqueFlite) were built with the Hemi.
