How many Dodge Darts were made in 1969?
Approximately 110,000 Dodge Darts were produced in 1969 across the model’s varied lineup.
The figure encompasses all the Dart variants offered that year, including the base Dart, the Dart Swinger two-door coupe, and the Dart GT, and it accounts for the common multiple body styles (2-door and 4-door sedans, plus coupes) produced for the domestic market in 1969.
Understanding the 1969 production figure
Production data for classic cars often comes from factory records, trade catalogs, and reference guides. For the Dodge Dart, numbers are compiled by vehicle registries and enthusiasts’ catalogs, but exact counts can differ depending on whether export cars, convertibles, or certain trim packages are counted separately. The 1969 Dart line was part of Dodge's mid-size lineup and used in high volume during the late 1960s.
Dart variants in 1969
Dodge offered several Dart variants in 1969, spanning sedans, coupes, and sportier trims. Here is a quick breakdown by the main variants and their typical body styles.
- Base Dodge Dart — 2-door and 4-door sedans, forming the majority of the model’s production.
- Dodge Dart Swinger — sporty 2-door coupe variant with distinctive trim and performance options.
- Dodge Dart GT — higher-spec, performance-oriented 2-door hardtop, often with upgraded trim and options.
These variants collectively contributed to Dodge’s total Dart production for the year, though exact counts vary by source and counting method.
Why exact counts vary
Different sources tally the numbers in slightly different ways. Some exclude convertibles, some count only U.S. production, while others include export cars or separate trims. Factory statements from the era were not always published with the same granularity, so enthusiasts rely on compiled production totals from period catalogs and reference guides with small margins of error.
Summary
In sum, Dodge manufactured around 110,000 Darts in 1969, across base models and variants like the Swinger and GT. The precise figure varies by source due to counting conventions, but this around figure captures the scale of the Dart’s mid-size lineup during a peak production year.
