I have had my 70 Six Pack Roadrunner since May of 1975. When I got the car it had the '69 Coyote Duster decal, as shown in attachment, on the air cleaner lid. The lid is a standard Six Pack lid, not the 69 A12 lid with the extra lip, so it wasn't just taken off a 69 car. So, either it came that way from the factory, or someone removed the original decal and put on the 69 decal.
Has anyone ever seen this decal on a 1970 Six Pack car? If there are other instances, I will use this decal. If it seems I am the only person in the world with this decal on a 70, I'll have to assume that it was a day 2 change and use the checkered flag decal.

It's a Dec. 9 1969 build. Not all that early. Although it did have an aluminum intake.

Yes, they are different. I only showed the Hemi air cleaner because it had the decal on it. I definitley have a Six Pack.
By the way, I should have credited the photo. I got it from nicksgarage.com and his excellent page on Chrysler air cleaners.
Just trying to find out if anyone has ever seen this decal on a 1970 Roadrunner with a 440 Six Barrel.

Ive seen the decal on other lids but none in recent years. .
IMO the decal is 1969 roadrunner 383 only.
But thats not to say its possible others got it. And im sure some got them installed many many years ago. As either factory mistake....or just because the owner liked it or restoration mistakes from many years ago
Enjoy life today, It has an expiration date

I didn't know that about the A12 air cleaners. I stand corrected. So these decals were put on 383 and Hemi roadrunners with air grabber, which I did know, but only on those cars; check. So I've now got reports from a couple people on different sites that also have the decal on 70 Roadrunners, but I think it's time to put it down to someone liking the decal and changing it at some point in the car's life after it left the dealership.
And, I mistyped when I titled the photo. Clearly the engine is a Hemi.
Thanks for the info. Robert
