...how "rare" is the decor interior option




The Decor package was standard on all RM23 hardtops. According to GG the Decor Package was on 55.8% or approx 16,170 RM21 Coupes.

Hope this helps.

Seems to be a rare combo, mine is RM21 4spd., no power steering or power brakes, L1 turquoise, with a.c.. Anybody else?




It is not possible to find out the combo of options, but AC stick cars are uncommon. I'd venture to say it's rather rare since the '68 RR's MO is not for comfort.

I have the only 68 in reno. I know of 8 69's. The a/c is rare on the east coast and mid-west. I have seen a lot more here in the desert.The LL1 color is rare. If I could have ordered my roadrunner new, thats color I would have picked. Mine is QQ1, which seems like half of them was this color.

My wife has a 68 barracuda fastback,QQ1 318, 4 speed, a/c, deluxe interior, disc brake. Have never seen another one like that.

Does your car have the exterior decor package?

I would say that I am 99% sure that my car was born with the decor package, it was just a rolling chassis with no documentation when I got it. It did have the finish panel on the trunk lid which appeared to be original to the car. I will have it painted LL1, hopefully soon but still have a lot of bodywork ahead of me.

I have not had an engine in it yet, still under resto and I am not even sure that I have an alt. bracket. Shouldn't be to hard to find someone that would post a pic of the bracket you need. Start a new thread and ask someone to post a pic.
Good luck.
I'd like to see pics of your car. What shapr is it in?.

Great car! A/C was one of those options that an older person in a warmer climate would order. Most older guys would go for an automatic for the wife and probably a hardtop. When I was looking at new cars in 69, a $100 option made a difference whether or not I could afford the car. I was 20 and wanted a muscle car. Mine was stripped down. I hung out every night and travelled far looking for street races. I cannot remember seeing any a/c muscle Mopars hanging out except for an occasional Charger...but never a 4 speed Taking all those things into consideration, there is no doubt that a 4 speed coupe with air is very uncommon.
