Do any of you remember full wheel covers and 2 tone paint on the 69's? I don't and I was 19 years old when this car was produced.
First NICE!! and I do remember the full wheel covers (and two tone paint) because I ordered my '69 Road Runner in the Spring of 1969 and I had those very same full wheel covers on it If you look closely at this photo of my RR circa 1969 you can still faintly see them on the back......

Looks great. Yup, quite a few came with those covers; painted roof is pretty rare. Was your car originally a 4-speed? Did yours originally have green or black carpet? At what plant was it built? Build date?
Yes, it is an all numbers matching 4 speed car, radio delete. The carpet is green (H2G Interior) and it was built at Lynch Road. It's scheduled build date was July 13th. Paul Jacobs and Troy Angelly did an awesome job of restoring this car to it's original condition. Can't wait to get her home and put a few miles on it as I haven't driven it since October 4, 2004.

Wow NICE car, Congrats to you for making it through the pile of parts , so many dont or get discouraged.
I think my wife is happier than I am since I had new and restored parts under all 3 of our beds, in my office, in the attic and in the garage for many years. I never got discouraged but got sidetracked building another car, that is one of the reasons it took so long to complete. All my extra money went to the other car. Glad it is done.

Looks great.
Are the centers of the wheel covers different from front to back? The back one looks dark, and the front one looks white.
I have 4 dark centers and a plain center. Obviously Paul wasn't paying attention when he put the front one on. I'll have to get on him about the "detail" work. It's tough finding good help nowadays!
