69 Road Runner

[Studmonkey]

Need help or does anyone know of a Road Runner forum? Might be selling GN for a 69 depending on rarity. Color moulin rouge, 440 6 pak, auto, drag pak, also has a snap on vinyl roof? I know Mopar put some crazy things out, but very tempting and affordable. Just have to sell GN. :frown:

The color isnt correct 4 car. They didnt use that till 1970. If the car is originally 6bbl , it will be 69 1/2.

I had a '70 Moulin Rouge Barracuda with a slant 6.

If its even a real roadrunner, I'd bet money it was originally only a 383 car and definitely wasn't factory pink.

440 swaps into 383 roadrunners is probably the most common engine swap because it is so easy.

m code was a 440 6 pak. Color might not be correct but the motor is. Trying to find out about the snap on top?

 

[GNTIM]

I have never heard of a snap on vinyl top, sounds fishy. True 69 1/2 440-6 lift-off hood Roadrunners are worth quite a bit if correct. Without knowing more, it sounds like a clone.

plymouth or mopar site

is there any mopar or plymouth sites??

Moulin Rouge = same color as Panther Pink. Used on 1970/71 models.

Looks to me like you've already been informed here tho of this not being anything orig. Never ever seen or heard of any snap on top. Is this a convertible type thing? VERY suspect. I bet that 5th VIN digit is a J. Look at that before making ANY decisions. Actually, DON'T look at that, slice the trunk weather seal loose a little along the the left rear quarter where you feel bumps underneath and read THAT serial#!

You can try joining MoParts to ask more questions. But from your description I'd bet just about anybody with a little mopar in their blood could help you shoot this idea outa the sky. Sorry...

A 69 Roadrunner with a 440 6 pak?

I didn't think those were worth anything. I thought the 426 was the most desirable one.

Keep the GN :tongue: :biggrin:

I'm going to assume you're being sarcastic. The 440 6 pack was the cheaper alternative to the Hemi.

Six Pack's, as describing the RR's properly(Six Barrel on the SuperBee) were limited production items in spring '69 and therefore equally valuable

Not inexpensive in their time either. Especially given their availability. Yet neither were practical in any sense. With the Hemi you got consant valve lash issues and cold start problems and with the six pack you got Holleys that refused to cooperate with each other. Was a choice of removing valve covers or not! Under the skin there are six pack specific items as well as shared items to Hemi cars. The resale return on a A-12 car exceeds GN possibilities if it's real. Then again, the restoration possibilitie$ of a RR exceed what likely on a GN too!

Road Runners had "6 Barrels", Super Bees had "Six Packs"

Six Pack was Dodge, 6 bbl was Plymouth

I had a 6 bbl 'Cuda, the Challenger was a Six Pack

I didn't know there was a difference until after I bought one. I wanted to get a "Six Pack" decal for my 440-6 'Cuda Air cleaner lid and there weren't any for cuda's but there were for Challengers and a light bulb went on in my head.

Before that moment, I thought they all were called Six Packs and obviously hadn't paid close enough attention.
