To answer your questions Les, the numbers dropped probably due to the introduction of the Cuda and Challenger, and the hefty price of the Charger. As for production, the Dodge Boys made 112 Hemi Chargers in 1970: 56 four speeds and 56 automatics. And in anticipation of your next question, no, they didn't plan that exact same number for each tranny combination, it just worked out that way. Of those 112 built, 15 (now 16, broken down into 10 four speeds and 6 automatics) were the option upon an option R/T-SE (think of a Z-28 with the Rally Sport option as a GM equivilent) The SE gave you a bunch of luxury additions such as the leather interior and real artificial woodgrain on everything.
