While we're mentioning R/T convertibles.... okay, probably not a hemi car, but it was picked pretty much clean, a rusty shell, no numbers/tags anywhere. I'd imagine that it lives on in one form or another now, though.

Yes, it's now in the Saint Louis MO suburb (south county).

and the RK Y2 vert which they bought on a auction previously is the same car? Or just the same VIN?

There was also a '69 hemi RT ragtop in an upstate NY junkyard. I saw the rusty fender tag from the car in June '95. The fellow that has it, went to college up there and found the car and removed the tag for a souvenir. I can't remember the details on the tag. But, I know the guy now lives in AZ😜 He may even be a member here.

Were are they now.

Canadian Sold

WS27J8 123856

228186

276825

276826

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.

all 1968-'69-'70 b-body convertibles were St. Louis "G" assembled

the yellow car with flames - was HS's & RK Motor's

it is not related to the junkyard picture above other than they were both Y2 & HEMI

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 whistling

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.

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.

Dan you got anything on a WS27J9G 278___. Have this number written down but no information on how I got it.

In stead of putting according to GG numbers you should put down according to KM numbers.

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 twocents I would love to see the source docs boogie

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.

"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 )
