The R/T package was offered again, along with an R/T Super Pak. The R/T was Dodge's only 'performance' model and a total of 4,465 Aspen Coupes were fitted with the R/T Package. A further 2,284 examples received the Super R/T package. Power was from a 225 cubic-inch Slant Six engine fitted with a one-barrel carburetor.

Standard equipment included a heater/defroster, drip moldings, windshield moldings, backlight moldings, driver's mirror, hubcaps, two-speed wipers, and a three-spoke steering wheel.
