This black paint is on top of the red body color. It appears to have texture similar to the organosol paint used on the hood for the performance hood blackout.

Original color is Matador Red body with Black Velvet top. Yes I still have the fender tag.

I have a 1968 Roadrunner that has two tone paint with a black painted top. I am finding black paint in the door jambs and on the jambs of the doors. Is this something done by a previous owner or was this done during production?

Thank you very much 69Coronetet! It is a STL car and it has an October build date. You are the man! Thanks again.

Something else that is odd about this car I found out. My uncle bought this car from the second owner and he swore that the in dash tachometer is original. If that is the case it should have a 7 under the T. Could the 4 under the C have anything to do with it having an in dash tachometer? Just...

My uncle also has a 1968 RR he is restoring. Yesterday I was decoding his fender tag and it has one option I can not find anywhere. As you can see above it has a 4 under the C and I can not find a reference to this option. Anyone got any idea what this option is?

My bad there Runner. I was hoping it would be later in life that I made my first mistake but there it is. I will be sure to be more careful next time.

The thing that bugs me is that I see so many 68 Roadrunners with 69 hood inserts like this one. Also the engine should be turquois not orange.

She ain't much but I have most of the parts except for interior parts and a tranny. My first project is new floor pans and trunk pan. All the glass is good except for the windshield.

Thanks for the info guys. I am very happy about the color combo on the car. It has black interior and the decor package as well. I have a lot of work to do on it as it is just a rolling body but excited to have it.

This is a picture of my fender tag to show what I was talking about with the paint code. Also notice it doesn't have a vinyl top code on it as well.

Black painted top. It has vinyl top moulding on the C pillar. It has BP2 under the PNT part of the fender tag.

How common is the two tone option on a 1968 Roadrunner? Mine has BP2 on the fender tag which means a black top and red body.
