Quote:Is the car still around?
Here is one that I ordered new in 68 for the 69 model year showing.
Quote:According to Galen's documents only 1.4% of 69 hardtops came in VO2 which is about 656 cars. I go to A LOT of Mopar shows and I never see any.
How about posting the fendertag ?
They made something between 84,000 and 85,000 69 road runners , I'm thinking a V02 car isn't that rare , but it's cool none the less .
Quote:Found it.
The top is W1 over F8. When I bought the car back in 1999 it had been repainted all green but when I dis-assembled the car I found the white paint on the A pillar and drip rail. I'll see if I can find a picture an post it.
Quote:The car is headed to Jacobs & Angelly Restorations right after the Nats so providing I don't run out of $$$$ it will be either at Carlisle or the Nats next year. Paul has already restored ALL of the parts and I have already purchased 99.5% of the new parts so it's just a matter of Troy doing the sheet metal and paint, plus I need to assemble the engine. The car is going to look strange as it came with full wheel covers. I'll probably be accused of building a clone car.
It's a cool color combo, would love to see it all done.

It's in good hands with Troy and Paul.

Quote:This car is going back as a 100 point concours restoration since it's a numbers matching car. That is why Jacobs & Angelly are doing the work.
seen a 69 y2 with black top paint at springfield mo. street machine nats, don't remember which year. nice rare option, anything out of the norm is worth putting back original, just my opinion. i'll look for a picture.

In the past several months on e-bay, there were two for sale. One was in NJ and was TX9 with a silver roof....
Quote:The one out of NJ has been for sale for quite sometime if it's the same one I saw (Vinney was the seller?). Don't know about the one out west but there must be very few still out there. Maybe some Mopar collectors have them stuffed away somewhere. Thanks for the info.
In the past several months on e-bay, there were two for sale. One was in NJ and was TX9 with a silver roof if I remember correctly, and the other was TX9 with a white roof out of NM or AZ. Both were 383 4-spd cars.
Quote:Nice looking Duster!
dads got a 70 cuda lemon twist with a black painted top and I have a 71 duster hemi orange with a black painted top. all original survivor with 40,200 miles

Ya mean this one?
Quote:I just don't remember seeing these 2 tone paint cars back in 69. Either they didn't have any in Indiana or I was drunk most of the time, those were my stupid days!
Green with a white top would be a nice combo. Here's a painted top Satellite I picked up last year. Y2 body with an F8 top.
Quote:I like looking at cop cars, from the outside only please. I've got over $25K in mine right now, not including the cost of the car, and it hasn't been to the body shop yet where I'll spend another $25K-$30K. Yikes, I'm in trouble.Quote:Quote:

Yes, that's the one and the sellers name was Vinny. The other one was a RM21 383 4-spd 3.91 car and super clean rust-free. It was around $25k and did not sell at the time. I loved the combo, but my buddies said it looked too much like a cop car

Here's a pic of a friends 70 Bee that is FM3 with a painted white top.

In addition, Vinny was a VERY nice guy - more hobbyists should be like him.
Quote:I know a guru with the mopar collector market and he thinks the car should bring $65K +/- in a good market because of it's rarity and the fact it's a numbers matching car with build sheet and tag. We'll see what happens when the market turns around. Think we can get some of our government stimulus money injected into our hobby? Someone please call Washington.Quote:

As long as you realize you'll never sell it at a profit you'll be ok .

Quote:I believe and trust very few people but stranger things have happened. If you told someone in 2000 that Hemi Cuda's would be selling at $3,000,000 plus in 2003/2004, they would have laughed you off the planet. So what will my car be worth next year? Whatever someone is willing to pay for it. Or I could have a white elephant but at least it will be a cool white elephant.Quote:and you believe that story?Quote:I know a guru with the mopar collector market and he thinks the car should bring $65K +/- in a good market because of it's rarity and the fact it's a numbers matching car with build sheet and tag.

Quote:Thank you for the words of encouragement. I always find it helpful when fellow hobbyist look for the negatives.
They only built 656 because there was not 657 people that wanted one.Some times things are in low numbers for a reason.
Quote:As with anything, it depends on what a buyer is looking for. I have a Hemi car and if I had the $$$ I wouldn't be in the market for another.
69 383 RR for 65K with a painted roof, restored fully
OR
68 Charger Hemicar for 55K, decent car
?
Quote:By the way...I love your white socks and pegged pants. Did you have a pack of Lucky Strikes rolled up in your shirt sleeve?
Here is one that I ordered new in 68 for the 69 model year showing.
Boy do I remember those days, glad they are behind me.
