Rare car, only 769 convertibles made with a 4-speed! #s match motor
and trans, documented with 2 build sheets. It also has rare and
very desirable buckets, console, power steering and power disc
brakes. These are not common options in a Road Runner, most were
stripped down. This one is a very clean, honest car. One of the
best driving cars we have, it felt like it is new.
EXTERIOR: Very unique factory Honey Bronze color. The body is arrow
straight. There is not any signs of rust or damage, it's smooth
even all along the bottom. I believe it's original metal. The metal
flake paint is laid out evenly and the clear coat has a smooth
glass finish. It has optional red stripe decals and painted on
matte black hood stripes. It also has optional fender turn signals
that work. In the front bumper, grill and bezels are in excellent
condition. The mirrors and door handles are excellent. In back the
taillights and bumper are excellent. The door jambs are clean
metal, painted real nice. The weather strips are real nice. The
convertible power top is like new. It has the correct black Mopar
grain. Windshield is crystal clear. The Magnum wheels are very
nice, they are mounted on BFG radial redline tires.
INTERIOR: Most Road Runners are bench seats with a column shift
automatic. This one has bucket seats with a console and the best
part- a 4-speed sticking out of it! Very tidy inside. All the bits
and pieces look good, it's unabused. The upholstery, door panels,
carpet are in really nice shape. The dash area is not broken, cut
or beat up. The instrument panel looks real nice. It has an
original Am 8-track radio that plays crystal clear through the
factory dual dash speakers. There is a total of six interior
lights, they all work including the little one over the ignition.
It has a full set of original seat belts. New Road Runner floor
mats
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: VIN number matching, original 383 Magnum motor.
It also has very desirable power steering and power brake options.
The engine compartment is completely honest, proper and
exceptionally clean. The motor is all stock- the manifolds, valve
covers, restored carb and air cleaner. It is neatly painted Mopar
orange. The engine bay is square, clean metal painted nicely. The
VIN number on the core support matches the car, the fender tag is
attached. It has a Mopar battery, it's bolted down properly and has
a disconnect switch. The Road Runner horn works, washer bottle is
hooked up, original Mopar radiator, has hood insulation.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Appears to be all original metal. I did not find
any splices in the trunk floor or 1/4 panels. It's nicely painted
the body color. Complete with trunk mat, jack and spare.
Weatherstrip is excellent.
UNDERSIDE: It looks like it has really dry original metal under the
car. The floor pans and frame rails are clean. I don't see any
patchwork. It has the factory undercoat that's been prepped and
sprayed black. The front end components are clean and proper.
Looking up at the motor it is spotless, has a high torque starter.
The casting codes are correct and the matching vin is just above
the oil pan. The 4-speed trans is also vin # matching to this
car.The exhaust system has correct Chrysler mufflers and new
tailpipes. It has disc brakes up front, the e-brake is hooked
up.
I would say this is one of the best driving cars I've been in. It
performs like it is new. Shifts smoothly, rides nice, stops
straight, accelerates without a hiccup. It gave me 100% confidence
in the car. It felt like a new 1969 Road Runner would have felt
like!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
