    Proper Storage/Washing/Cleaning

    These 2 (at left) haven't seen water in 3 years (yellow) & 5 (blue) - but they live a sheltered life: they never see rain, dirt roads, or get parked under a tree. Never a night outdoors so far. I washed each one when they first came home - Meguiar's car wash soap - but since then, an occasional...

    Real or Not Roadrunner RM21

    If the engine is VIN stamped - back by the oil pressure sender, on the bellhousing flange - the trans should be also, same area. Decor Group came along late enough that the odds are pretty good for stamping. It'll be something like "8G123456" or 8A-etc depending on assembly plant. Also, look...

    What I have and future plans

    As for the Tremec idea, until their new one (TKX), you had to cut up the floor & torsion bar crossmember. Rather than cut the car up, either the TKX or Passon's OD gearset swapped into the original trans is a better path to freeway use, or change the rearend gears to something taller. Nice car -...

    Real or Not Roadrunner RM21

    '68-'70 RR VINs start with RM, as already mentioned. For '68-'69, 5th digit is H for 383, J for Hemi. 383 Coupes & HTs shouldn't have torque boxes, Hemi cars should - though a few exceptions (mistakes) have surfaced over the years. T-bars should be .880" (383) or .920" (Hemi), should have...

    68 Roadrunner colour

    There is a chart with % of production that I've seen - I think it was posted on moparts.com a couple years ago by one of the #s guys - but the pale tan colors were very low percentage. As for anecdotes, yeah, that's all I have: I can only recall seeing 2 light tan-colored RRs since they were...

    1970 Roadrunner dash pad width?

    FWIW, I've seen several repro pads that are too narrow between the pillar moldings. The ears should tuck in & not be visible.

    69 lynch road fender tag decode

    Yeah, I've never seen an interior trim code starting with a W; was keying off possible colors and fell down the rabbit hole, haha. I'd also bet on H2G, as I think I suggested. Back in the mid-'80s, I looked at a red '69 RR HT that seemed very original, yet it had the base interior in black...

    69 lynch road fender tag decode

    If that's W2G, it's a white & green interior, which could be the Decor bench or buckets. If it's H2G, that's all green, and the Decor bench. But for '69s, the UDF with white door cards, armrests & seats would be white; '68s would be green UDF. That 3rd F8 indicates UDF, IIRC. Bucket cars of...

    Best trunk mat for `70 road runner?

    My original '69 RR - St Louis, SPD 2/12/69 - has its original plaid mat, tannish-grey color. The cheaper repro mats are thin and seem more plastic than rubber. The rear body reinforcements differ '68 vs '69 - don't know about '70s - so one size doesn't really fit all.

    69 RR mystery bolts?

    Decades ago, I had a '68 Road Runner whose rear shock crossmember had torn away from the floor - I could see the spot welds. Sideways tears in the trunk floor. Buddy of mine who worked at a Mopar dealership in that era told me that it was a brief issue, there was a service bulletin about it, and...

    69 GTX Engine color ... what would you do?

    Turquoise is the correct color for '68 BBs. '69 HP BBs were orange except for RR 383s with AC, which were turquoise, because they were 330-HP engines, not 335-HP. That said, there are a few exceptions claimed out there on the '69 383 AC cars, which tend to be Chargers. There's plenty of factory...

    69 Roadrunner Convertible with N96

    If it matters to you, the pinstriping on the sides is incorrect, and wheel-opening moldings were NA on Road Runners of that era (though could have been added by a dealer or owner or restorer). Black is fairly rare, white interior not common, and the N96 should be a bonus but should be called out...

    Station wagon cardboard headliners

    When I did my '63 Savoy wagon years ago, Kramer Automotive Specialties had it. A bit fiddly to fit, and not exactly the correct print pattern, but the only option I found. www.kramerauto.com

    68 Road Runner Hood call out screws

    Fits 68 Roadrunner GTX Raised Hood Insert Emblem Plate Call Out Screws Kit NEW | eBay Those look right - the screw heads are small vs the thread size. Glad there's a new source; those used to be unobtainable. If you really have to re-drill & tap the holes, getting them straight is critical.

    Help with shifter handle

    Shifter hump is the same '68-'70. Engine/trans/seat locations didn't differ, bench same as buckets in that regard as well. Only real difference was levers that needed to clear a console opening. That existing shifter's an aftermarket Hurst, as the OEM used a snap-in lever, not the bolt-on. The...

    Looking at this '68 Roadrunner Restomod - opinions needed

    That hole is for wheel-opening moldings, NA on '68-'70 Road Runners, so the fender's been changed. It's a custom car, so lots of those details are incorrect vs an OEM restoration: hood blackout should be organisol & come to a point in front, dash should be organisol, seat medallions are missing...

    anyone in Phoenix, Surprise AZ that knows this car?

    Been following this here and on Moparts. Given the seller's claims of perfect paint, the door operation, the assorted parts installed, and lack of FT, I'd avoid it.

    anyone in Phoenix, Surprise AZ that knows this car?

    So how did the factory AC stuff get in there ? NA with 440 & 4-speed '68 or '69 and likely '70.
