If the claims are true this would be pretty cool. But i'm already a bit worried because the fender tag seems to be not painted.
Asking price is 140k.

A 3000 original mile car should not need to be restored unless it was raced from day one which was very likely. Unpainted fender tags is normal for a Lynch Rd. built car. The photos leave a lot to be desired...

The stunning car you see before you is one of very few original mopar survivors. This 1969 426 Hemi Roadrunner was originally ordered for racing as seen in the original purchase order. This Roadrunner started out its days driving a quarter mile at a time and as soon as its glory days were over it was retired and put straight into private collections. This car bounced from one collection to the other eventually making its way to Barrett-Jackson and later being moved to the private collection of a Ford enthusiast who didn't know or care about what he had and simply garaged it for a while. We happily relieved this Ford owner of his burden and brought this car from the shadows back into the light. This car has extremely low original documented miles and is all original, it even has the chalk marks from the factory still located on one valve cover, inside the doors, and in the trunk. This 1969 Hemi Roadrunner is truly one of a kind.

I’ve been watching its travels, and if the “Demonstrator” hadn’t landed in my lap, that Road Runner would be in my garage today. Has a similar color combo to the one that got away. It was R4 red, looks more orange in the photo.

I mean if this is real (unrestored 3k miles survivor) and i had 140k lying around it would be in my garage.
It's not my favorite body style but the kicker here is obviously an original unrebuilt 426 hemi with only 3k miles. And since it survived the racing action it seems to be a good example.

Also is this a heater delete car? It's hard to say in the 1 engine picture provided but i cannot see any hoses going to the firewall.

I believe the Hemi Road Runner in the OP has been restored (at least to some degree).

Pic of trunk doesn’t look like inside quarter has factory undercoat.

I forgot the story of it. Semi local. But I don’t see it at shows.

Trunk lid decal

Hey guys how about a pic of a correct decal for the trunk lid. Thx.

It got heater controls in the dash, so the answer here is No
Not a heater delete car


And , If the car is legit in person.
Price is not out of line either

If this engine really has only 3k miles on it and never been rebuilt i think this is a decent price and awesome car.
But seems like some of you believe it has been restored to at least some degree. That obviously would make a huge difference.

 

[Dave6T4]

Nit-pick; wrong hub caps on it. '69 caps had "PLYMOUTH DIVISION " embossed on them. Nice car, though.

Are we looking at the same car?? Did you look at the wheel wells? The gloss on the paint? Why in the world would you believe that was painted by the Chrysler plant.

..and they go on to call it " concours"

What exactly is wrong with the wheel wells?
But now that you're saying it, you're totally right with the paint. That indeed does not look factory.

More nit picking - seat upholstery is missing the small metal trim bars, recently reproduced by Tony's Parts, so we can assume it was replaced, minus this detail. On a similar note, I used to look for the presence of the trim bars on '69 GTX door panels before deciding to look at a car. Most restorations are missing them.
