Well I personally can not for sure prove they made a 340 Swinger in 69 with bucket seats.. however I also cant claim they dont exist.. It would all depend on whether or not you were able to order a 4 speed with a console... if you got the console you had to have buckets... So now.. I am kinda curious.. Anyone? could you order a 4 speed with a console in a 340 Swinger in 69? I know you could with the lesser Dart GT in 69.. I have a friend that has 69 GT, 273, 4 speed with a console and buckets.. It just made sense to me if you could order that combo in a GT you would be able to in a Swinger 340... lol... Oh, and it should also be noted that the 69 Swinger 340 came with carpet standard if you got the 4 speed.. Carpet was optional with the 727 automatic...

right there is a problem........chrysler used price classes on all product lines and that format remained constant .....L, M, H, P, S was the format and this is the second letter on your VIN number

L= low (base swinger)
M=Medium (swinger 340)
H=High (custom)
P=Premium (GT)
S= Special (GTS)

so to say a GT was lesser than a swinger 340 as far as trim and price class that is not true.....the base price of the GT was much higher bcoz of it "standard options" which in the case would be "convenience options" Buckets came standard with GT so were light packages ....ornate steering wheel, Dual horns and the like.

to say a GT is lesser from a performance point of view .....absolutely GT came with non-performance engines, hence why i said earlier that a GT convertible was a good parade car.......Pretty......very Fast.....not likely.
