I think I heard it was a possible option, but very rare. Hopefully someone else can confirm.

Agree, I think I've seen it as an option too, but I don't recall seeing an actual car.

Could you post a photo of your car?

Definitely, the 1968-1970 Road Runners, there were full-vinyl-roof cars (you can see them doing an internet Image search,) but 1971-1974, I'm not seeing any yet.

Doesn't mean yours isn't real, it could well be.

Have you looked underneath seats, etc, for a Build-Sheet? My '71 Charger still had its Build-Sheet under the rear seat, but I pulled it and misplaced it sometime during the 1980's or early 1990's.

Since I'm a pack-rat (to some degree) I probably kept it, but not sure where... I should have returned it to the car.

i wish i did but no i dont have the build sheet, but i have checked the vin #s on the dash, door jambs, engine, tranny, and raditor support and they all match up i even heard theres a vin # somewhere under the speaker tray. i wish the last owner hadnt lost the fender tag:( i have never seen a full vinyl top road runner before, im hoping this isnt a well done transplant clone.

I've seen photos of '68-'70 Road Runners with Full Tops, but not '71-'74, yet they may (including yours) exist.

Are there any RR Specific websites the way there is a SuperBee website? There must be. Would think they would know. Of course, Galen Govier likely knows for sure, but he costs $$$.

had one, the vinyl went right up to and under the drip rails, and was much closer to the rear of the 1/4 glass.

My parts car, a 73 satellite sebring plus had the exact same kind of vinyl roof, where the ends of the vinyl were not at the drip rails. Kinda funky and a lot going on. I didn't care for it.

That is considered a full vinyl top on your car isnt it. There was a red with white top locally a few years back. There is a half top also.

Cheap looking 73 74 rrs are cool. There was a 73 rr gtx on ebay months back yellow with a black top like yours.
