I have a 73 Roadrunner 400-4 factory sunroof car and I have a question about the differences between a coupe and hardtop. My car is a RM21 car which I believe is for a Roadrunner Coupe. I was under the impression that coupes did not have rear windows that rolled down while hardtop rear windows did roll down, is that correct? The reason I ask is that my car does have power windows and the rear windows do roll down. Do I have my information straight? If so is this just one of those oddities that seem to creep up every now and again on these cars? Thanks!

P.S. This car is for sale in the for sale section if anyone is interested!

RM21 is coupe, 23 is hardtop. hardtops have roll up/down windows. perhaps the sunroof option has something to do with it or someone has played with the tag.....

in searching around, i found that only coupes were made for a RR?

All '73 Roadrunners are considered Coupes.

This would explain it. I knew somethng was different because I had a couple of guys contact me and question the 4 power window switches on the driver's door panel and they said that the rear windows should not roll down but of course they do on my car. Thanks!

Yes, all 1973-'74 Road Runners are "coupes" & RM21

with manual windows just the door windows roll down and the rears are fixed, but if power windows was ordered all 4 windows open/close
