My older brother, in the spring of 1969 bought a 1969 Hemi RR. 4-speed, 4.10 Dana, PS, PDB, Air grabber...

That car, started it all with me (and him, too) and Mopar!

Funny to think about now, but we went car shopping that day and he was originally looking for a 427 Vette. Three Chevy dealers later had nothing, and it was too late in the year to order a 69 with the 427. Test drove a Hugger Orange 69 'maro with a 375hp/396...4 speed it was impressive. THEN he test drove the RR, and it was a different league than that Chevy!

Would LOVE to know where that RR is today. He sold it as a roller in 1974 for $3,000 with about 36K on the clock.

One other little fun factoid: Before personalized plates, it had black and yellow CA plates that read YUF 426!! (Yes, we had a few acronyms for what "YUF" meant!
