    Of all the city folks here who has heard gunfire near their home?

    I've lived in a city known for gun violence for the past five years, and, in town, I haven't heard gunfire once myself (though I have heard of shootings happening in the general area). The neighborhood I live is neither among the best nor the worst. One night, after just moving to the city...

    How to Tell if the '69 Roadrunner I'm Looking to Buy is Authentic

    Thanks, all, great stuff! The seller stated the car to have drums all around. According to Wes Eisenschenk's book, the 11" drums were standard on the Roadrunner, but not the Belvedere. I haven't found more resources on how to recognize the two, and I'm planning to ask the seller to take off a...

    How to Tell if the '69 Roadrunner I'm Looking to Buy is Authentic

    The brakes are supposed to be original. How would 11 x 3" front and 11 x 2.5" rear drum brakes on a '69 Roadrunner compare to what a '69 Belvedere would have? Anything else to watch out for that could distinguish a Roadrunner from a Belvedere? The seller came back with a radiator core support...

    How to Tell if the '69 Roadrunner I'm Looking to Buy is Authentic

    I'm looking for a done car, or one that's pretty much all done. Been looking since May, prioritizing a solid body / structure, manual transmission, and then the type of engine / condition of the drivetrain, with a large block, high torque / horsepower engine.

    How to Tell if the '69 Roadrunner I'm Looking to Buy is Authentic

    The car looks solid, but if it seems to be a tag swap, I'm not planning to make the long trip to check it out. Tempted, and keeping my eyes open for what may else be on the market. The VIN of this one shows RM21H9A277727 on the dash, still feeling suspect of the tags. Thank you for sharing the...

    How to Tell if the '69 Roadrunner I'm Looking to Buy is Authentic

    Should there be other numbers stamped into the sheet metal, and should they match the VIN? Suppose he's being open about the numbers, because they don't match anything on the VIN or fender tag. Given the attached photos, does it look like they're of the right spots? Upper radiator core...

    How to Tell if the '69 Roadrunner I'm Looking to Buy is Authentic

    Thanks, all, for the warm welcome, and the wisdom. I like the post car, and the fender tag for this one shows RM21. The seller got back with some body stamp numbers, which don't seem to match the VIN. Found an earlier thread which indicated a '69 Roadrunner should have body stampings that have...

    How to Tell if the '69 Roadrunner I'm Looking to Buy is Authentic

    Thanks, all, for getting back so quick. FBBO must be the place. I asked the seller for pictures of the number stamping spots, since it's far - looking to get all the homework done before making the trip. He's sent some great photos of body work he performed. The price seems right for a...

    How to Tell if the '69 Roadrunner I'm Looking to Buy is Authentic

    Another thing I noticed, the car body has door posts. Were any '69 satellite bodies built as post coupes, or was this only a body option for a roadrunner? Thanks

    How to Tell if the '69 Roadrunner I'm Looking to Buy is Authentic

    Hiya Folks, I've wanted a '69 Roadrunner for some time, and there's one I'm considering for purchase that I want to determine whether it's an authentic Roadrunner. The fender tag has been screwed in with flathead screws. This stuck out since all the tags that I've come across have been screwed...
