‘68 a/c bees got 330’s too. Air was pretty rare in these cars, yours is first a/c 4-speed car I’ve heard of. There were supposedly only 447 68 bees with air. I don’t know number of ‘69s, I’ve only seen one ‘69 in person and that was an auto car.

You can estimate using statistical counting methods. Specifically: probability of having a 4-speed x probability of having air. Ie (number of 4-speed 69 bees/ number of bees made) x ( number of a/c 69 bees / number of 69 bees made). Take that result and multiply by number of bees produced in 69. This will likely estimate high since most 4-speed guys were interested in performance vs comfort, but it will give you an idea. I’m sure it’s a very small number.

A friend of mine has a 69 RR convertible 4-speed with air, his research says there were 13 of those.

This is the only other one I have presently.
Matching numbers car. He sleeved all 8 cylinders to put the original 383 back standard bore and used NOS pistons.
I'm wondering how he came up with that number research wise...
