Hi,I just recently joined this site to try and find a 68 or 69 Satellite for a daily driver. I was wondering,how uncommon was it to find a slant six in one of these cars? I would prefer the 318 personally,but would be happy with a slant if one came up.
I recently saw a listing for a 69 Coronet 2dr hardtop that has a slant in it,but other than that one I haven't seen any other slant six 68-70 b bodies advertised so im assuming that most B body buyers wanted v8's unlike A body buyers.

Probably more common than most people think. It's just most them have been converted to a V8 by now.
I can only think of 3 that I can remember seeing over the years in person. A 70 Charger at the Nats, a 69 Satellite and a 68 Belvedere. However, I have never owned a slant 6 B Body though.

I did own a slant 6 E body once. It was a 71' EV2 orange base Challenger with no options. It wasn't even a 225 slant 6, it was a 198 slant 6. Manual steering, manual 4 wheel drum brake, manual 3 speed trans, 2 speed wipers, manual foot pump washer fluid pump, rubber floor mats (no carpeting), fixed rear quarter windows. They had chrome plugs where the window cranks would have been. I have never seen another one like it.
 
I drove a 66 Belvedere I /6 automatic for a couple years. It was a 2 door sedan. Indestructible engine!

Seemed fairy common in the plain 66-67s
 
In my travels, I have seen a 68 Charger, ,72 Satellite custom brougham, ,73 satellite 2dr, and a 73 charger powered by the buzzing half dozen.
