Scan eBay and local salvage yards for a 383 c.i. motor. Also, scan YouTube and find channels of guys hoarding tons of Mopar motors and parts. There are several and may be close to you. Chrysler made over a million 383’s from ‘59 to ‘73(?). Try to get at block, heads, intake/exhaust manifold...

My uncle traded in a ‘62 Vette for a new ‘68 RR. Drove it to show my parents. I remember him driving it up the driveway revving the 383 and honking the horn. I was hooked at 6-yrs. of age. In ‘78 I got mine while growing ip in OK. Paid $500. Now, 45-yrs. later, it’s still in my garage. Beep beep!

Just purchased a 26-in. aluminum radiator from Year One for my ‘69 RR. I would like to keep the ‘natural’ aluminum finish. Can I simply install without painting or coating? Will the aluminum surfer any oxidation if I don’t paint or coat the metal? Thanks.

A great reference guide to decode fender tags, broadcast sheet, window sticker (or just general insight into options and other codes) on ‘69 RR is by Wes Eisenschenk who authored the book after restoring a RR. Great photos! (2017, CarTech publication, www.cartechbooks.com)

Restoration is completed and has been for 12-yrs. (2nd repaint in 2008). As my first car when purchased as a 16-year old - now 60! Luckily, I possess vehicle registration documentation for the last 44-yrs. that references the VIN to provide adequate verification if/when needed. Check out my pics!!

Thanks for feedback. Much of what you said applies to anything related to our hobby. Eventually, natural selection weeds out many of the lower quality products and services. After owning my RR for 44-yrs., I’ve been fortunate (and/or lucking) to deal with credible sources. The tag isn’t ‘mission...

Sorry. G15 windsheild tint. Having fender tag recreated after losing original 25-yrs. ago during 1st restoration. Not official as they place some indiscrete characters on the replacement tag to avoid ‘counterfeit’ violations. Anyway, in process of adding options. Company I’m using states not all...

Old reply but thought I’d send in case still needed. In process of getting a ‘non-official’ but accurate fender tag after losing original in 1990’s during earlier restoration. Try MMC Detroit. Not sure of they do VIN but they have a wralth on info. see link to web site. Good luck! MMC Detroit...

‘69 Road Runner.

Does the fender trim tag list ALL options for a car? Or, does it simply display the primary/bigger ones found on and ignore ones like J55 (windsheild tint)?

Had my ‘69 RR master cylinder replaced with one from Summit. Just looking to validate cost received for the work. Pleased with the results but just want transparency on amount of LABOR hours normally associated with this project. Thx.

What is estimate in hours to remove and replace all front-end components/bushings (tie rods, ball joints, contol arms, bead blast and jet coat A-arms and control arms, sway bar, torsion bars and convert stock drums to disc set-up on ‘69 RR. Regular bushings used with parts sources frim Summit...

Post photos when done. Would love to see! Good luck!

Greetings! Beep beep.

After much thought (for obvious reasons), finally installed a set of hood pins on my 69 Road Runner. Instead of using the existing inboard radiator support bolt holes, I elected to drill new holes based on the A12 lift-off hood cars. In my opinion, these place the hood bezels more towards the...

Thanks for link to 'Lift-off' forum. Though it took a while, I finally installed the hood pins. Rather than use the existing inboard radiator support bolt, I chose to use the A12 hole location and drilled the holes. I must have measure a dozen times before drilling the top hood holes! I feel...

Nice to see a four-door restored. Great looking!

Thank you very much. Hope this works!! :hello2:

Looking to install hood pins on 1969 RR. Not lift-off hood - standard steel with hinges. Does anyone have factory specs on correct hole placement? Obviously, will not get a second chance so want to get it right. Will purchase from Year One and plan to get 25" tethers based on ther...
