69 Road Runner-Restoration is complete, - 04/13/11 11:15 PM

Other than Paul installing the windshield and back glass my Road Runner has finally come together after 7 years of being apart. I dis-assembled it in October of 2004 so it's good to see it back like it came from the factory. 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. I've attached a few pictures for your viewing.

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.

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.

Your car looks great, and I like those wheel covers, its nice to see a 69 without 68 magnums on it, and under the hood looks very nice : )

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.

Looks great! Good job bringing it back to the streets. The efforts are worth it. Have fun go out and drive it.

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!

John, That car looks great......looks like another fabulous job by Paul and Troy. Just goes to show that quality work is priceless!
Are you planning on bringing it to any major shows this year? I would love to see it in person.

SHarp eyed Moparts guys don't miss a beat!
I'm just trying to get the HUGE dents out of the other dark centered one! She's not quite finished but it does nice burnouts

Couldn't you have taken the picture of the other side that has matching wheel covers????? And besides, I told you your mom was the only one allowed to drive my car! I saw how you do burnouts, a white mustang at the power tour event in Evansville. Ring any bells?

Thanks Mark, and yes Paul & Troy do fantastic work. You don't have to stand over their shoulder and check to be sure the work is being performed to the highest standards. In fact, I only went to Troy's once and Paul's shop once. No need to worry if they are working on your ride.
I plan to have the car at the Nats and I would like to take it to Carlisle but not sure at this point. It will be at the Monster Mopar Weekend since the facility is only 15 minutes from my house.

Congrats on getting the car done and being able to do it right. The air grabber is a nice option! I may not have been paying attention but does it have an optional rear and suspension package? I bought a new one 9/8/69. It was a Y3 (yellow gold) coupe. I have never seen another that color but Inever saw a two tone either. Mine had the full wheel covers, deluxe interior, A02light package, stainless B pillar trim, exhaust tips and a 3.23 single track. I took the wheel covers off and painted the wheels white. Still have the hubcaps nut don't need them on my A12. They may eventually go on the 69 Formula 340S Barracuda that I'm restoring. The 383 ran 14.7 at 100.1 mph in the quarter at New England Dragway going over the finish line in 3rd gear. It was a good car and I have been hooked ever since.

Nothing special in the rear, just the standard single trac with 323 gears, like yours. If your full wheel covers are in good shape and you might be interested in selling them I could use a good set. Mine aren't too bad but the quality of the restoration really needs quality wheel covers. You can PM me if your interested in selling them.
