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

Sounds like its real. Post some pornography when you get it.

we prefer girl on girl.........

if the VIN, body stampings, and fender tag all jive, there's no need to dig much further; as long as the stamping weren't cut from a rusty body and graphed into another

Cannot tell from the photos you posted if the plate is there. But like eldubb440 said, girl on girl.
And if the numbers match, there's no need to dig too much further. Don't want to annoy the seller by making him go to the nth degree to prove something that's already been proven. It's not a hemi, convertible, 440 six barrel car or a superbird, so don't worry too much. Numbers match, so it's a very likely a roadrunner.


Brakes can be changed, if someone was cloning a roadrunner, they'd have probably stuck the 11" drums on it. I can't tell from the picture you posted, but this is the plate you'd want to see. Remember though, satellites could be optioned with the 11" brakes, dual exhaust and all the roadrunner stuff, so the best way of verifying is the matching numbers.

Did satellites ever come with a front stabilizer bar (optional, of course)?

no they were not standard equipment on a Satellite, you could order a heavy duty suspension package from the factory that included a sway for a Satellite

Have all production Road Runners had front stabilizer bars from the very beginning (1968)? I know rear bars were standard beginning 1972. I am not sure if front and rear were standard from 1972 to end of production in 1980.

Yes.
