1969 442 convertible....how many were made like this??

Hey all, new to this board. I have a blue on blue 1969 442 convertible that I have owned for the last 10 years. It's all original, numbers matching car with some rare options (I think). The car is an automatic (325hp) with factory A/C, power windows, power top, and what I found crazy, it has a power driver's front bucket seat.

How could I find out how many were optioned like this?

Thanks,
Mike

don't believe the breakdown is available...so you'd have to approximate...like maybe 'at most' 20% of the 4280 or so were blue, and 'at most' 40% had AC, and maybe "at most' 33% had power seats, etc. yielding something like a wild a$$ guess of about 113...or use percents the experts estimate

I have one thats pretty close to yours. Originally was Trophy blue with white top and seats, A/C P/W P/Top P/Antenna and P/seat (not sure if seat is original though).
A breakdown of options is N/A
There were 3,047 69 442 conv w/autos made. Thats all we know!

Sounds like a great car! I am pretty sure A/C on converts is pretty rare.

My 69 442 is also blue with a blue convert top and black interior. No power seat though. And no power windows. Mine did come with the tic toc tach though.

Nice '69! Only numbers available are what Beob said. My white/black top&interior '69 4-4-2 convertible has A/C, AM-FM stereo radio, cruise control, buckets with auto on the console, power windows, power brakes/steering, custom sport steering wheel, rally pack, SSI wheels and disc brakes all original from the Fremont assembly plant. No power driver seat, though - a super nice feature to have! It's amazing to me that someone would possibly order a 4-4-2 with all those options like mine and not get the power seat! Enjoy your 4-4-2!

This thread is from 2011. It was resurrected by a first time poster who I assume found it in a Google search.

Right again, Joe.

Still, I stand by my post.
