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 in with small Phillips head screws, which makes sense for factory assembly. Would there be another reason to have different screws other than to swap out the tag?
The dash tag matches the fender tag, and I'm not sure how to tell if the dash was just swapped out as well.
The car has been restored and painted.
The engine is a non-numbers matching 440, and that's what I'm looking for since I could pay less for getting a real Roadrunner witha swapped in 440 engine. The hood has also been replaced with a four pin fiberglass hood.
It seems that body stamping numbers will probably have been obscured by the new paint job.
What else is there to look for to figure out if the car is a real Roadrunner?
Thanks and Best,
Banjo
