Yes that is the Y2 Runner. That photo is inside a garage in Ajax Ontario. It was sold into Rochester and I understand from this thread it is now in MO. Yes, it's now in the Saint Louis MO suburb (south county).
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

While we're mentioning R/T convertibles.... where's that pic from? - there was a Y2 HEMI Coronet R/T 'vert in a junkyard - the tag is owned by someone in AZ

Can not find a picture but there was a Hemi Convertible that showed up at the Mopar Nationals in Columbus, Ohio a million years ago that had flames on it. I do not remember the original color of the car. It could of been a 1969.
Some one else can post the US sold cars.

It would be nice to have this thread moved out of "FOR SALE" (the craigslist link is dead) so it doesn't go the way of the dodo in a couple weeks That's a good idea, that way there's some sort of written story about the cars listing what is known about them.

The story on the transmission out of one of the Canadian cars is. I bought it from a guy that ran a 427 Nova, Trevor Finley was his name. The Transmission had Liberty gears put in it and I needed a back up for my transmission of the same type. He also had the original gears with the transmission that I got when I bought the Liberty four speed and still have those stock gears. The Dana was bought by a friend of mine. Trevor told me when he went to buy the parts years before that the car was in an underground parking garage on Kingston Road in Scarborough, Ontario. He said the motor had rods out of the block. I later tried to find the car and could not. I told Nigel Mills about it and he could not find it either. Likely it was left in the underground for a long time and was towed away and scrapped. Nigel Mills, he knows lots about these B Body Hemi Convertibles. I believe Trevor told me the car was Blue with Black Interior and Black Top. That was back in the 70s when these things were just cars.

There was also a '69 hemi RT ragtop in an upstate NY junkyard. Probably the same car. This was in a yard between Rochester and Buffalo. Wonder what became of the parts and other items of that R/T. The yard crushed out early 2000s.

besides the "xx" at the end of the VIN & some owner/fender tag specifics - those are all the WS27J9Gs I know anything about. they are GG's published numbers based on Chrysler docs/info via KM GG has to own them - the good & bad I would love to see the source docs

Dan now since most of the hard work is done on Olas book I will start talking to Ola about getting back to talking to the Source Doc. person. Maybe a group purchase of information might be the thing to do.

Do you guys remember Dave Mulmuski? (spelling) out of MA years ago (early 1990's) had about six 68-69 Hemi B-Boby rags for sale for $25K each? They were mostly rollers if I remember right. He listed them in Hemmings every month. I was a struggling college kid with no money yet I dreamed of buying one of those shells. I remember saying to myself.. "Those cars will be worth double that in a few years"... LOL. Pretty sure I don't remember thinking they would be worth 200K... Sure do, He had several Hemi rag tops projects avail. I was interested in the blue 1969 GTX vert , Hemi 4 spd car, but it was far far to far gone IMO ( at the time) and decided to pass on the car, ( still kicking myself for that one btw )
