Ok so I just got home from a holiday to the states, while I was there I bought came across a sufire yellow Roadrunner and fell in love with it. I think it's called sunfire yellow, anyway the gentleman I bought it off was the second owner and said that aside from an exterior paint job and a couple of crome pieces under the hood and obviously the wheels the car was essentially original. Now I don't really care as I like it how it is but i'm quite interested in what the fender tag means.
I looked in another part of this site and found some decode information but i'm still scratching my head a little. My questions are.
A87-Decore package, is this a trim thing and does it include the stainless steel trunk moulding and rear tail lights as mine has the plain tail lights with the little bird sticker in the middle.
V7X-Longditudinal Side Stripe, what does this option look like mine has it on the tag but it's not on the car
The other thing I couldn't really figure out is did all Roadrunners have the black hood stripes or were they an option. Mine has a plain yellow hood with black vents which doesn't seem right to me, I'm just trying to figure out what the hood colours should be.
Also what wheels would this car have come standard with, it has the cragars on it which are period cool but I wanna know did all Roadrunners come with Magnum 500's or was that an option also. I picked up some plymouth division hubcaps at the Mopar Spring Fling but I don't know if they are correct for the year of the car or if Roadrunners even came with steelies and dog dishes.
I'm really excited cause I never thought i'd ever own a genuine one.
Thank you in advance for any info you can supply and I look forward to becoming part of the B Body family.
