Subject: 69 Roadrunner
With this being a "non 300 question" please don't chastise me too badly.
Was the above available with a 440 4barrel and if so what was the alpha
designation in the VIN ? I've been looking for one but possibly in vain ?
Thanks,
Val Jeffers

Subject: Re: 69 Roadrunner
Val,
'69 Roadrunners had a base engine of 383 4bbl. and optionally could be
equipped with Super Commando 440 (4bbl.), SuperCommando 440+6 (3 Holley
2bbl. on an Edelbrock Manifold flowing ~1350 cfm (350 in the middle and
500 ea on the ends...)), or the elephant motor 426 Hemi with 2 4 bbl.
carbs.
I did find a neat VIN decoder that covers the upper end of our letter
series cars. See:
http://www.moparpages.com/vin/
It doesn't validate against anything, but you can quickly plug in a serial
number for 1962 - 1980 and get a decode. Just for jun I plugged in
YM43R0B127690 and it decoded to a 1970 Crown Imperial 4 door Hardtop with
a 426 Hemi that rolled of the Hamtramck assemply line. Now, I'm not sure
where Imperials were coming from in '70, but I'm sure nobody got one for
the factory with a Hemi! teehee.....
Our best wishes to all for a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!
Best Regards,
Thomas F. Miller

From: Russ Vaughan <Pacesetter300@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: Re: 69 Roadrunner
Val,
I have to differ with Tom on this, I think you're looking in vain. In '68
through '70 the Road Runner was equipped with the 383 HP as standard -
except the '70 Superbird which had the 440 HP 4V as standard. Optional in
'68 was only the Hemi, in '69 Hemi again until 1/2 year model and the
addition of the 440 6-pack made three options. Same for '70 with some
changes in the engines. Most notably cast iron intake on the 6-pack
instead of the Edelbrock aluminum, vacuum actuation on the end carbs of
the 6-pack instead of mechanical linkage and hydraulic lifters on the
Hemi. The 375 HP 440 was only available on the GTX in '68 and '69 and
then the Superbird and GTX in '70. SO, strictly talking Plymouth, if you
want a 440 HP (L?) and you want it in a '69, you need to look for a GTX.
Does this mean they absolutely never made a 440 4V RR in '69? I've
learned never to say never with Chrysler, but it wasn't a standard
production option in any information I have.
Hope this helps
Russ Vaughan

Subject: 57 Wagon D500 9 pass
Merry Christmass to all,
I am considering the purchase of a 1957 Dodge Wagon D 500 Spectator
Edition. The car is all there but needs a total resto. It has the 325 hemi
(not running) Some body rust and the floors are bad. I can't find much
info
on the D 500 production, other than it was said to be approximately around
5%?? All the trim is there. Any help on the production numbers and value
would be appreciated. I would not consider a restoration if it wasn't a D
500. I don't remember ever seeing one. Thanks for your help.
Jay

Subject: Re: 57 Wagon D500 9 pass
Merry Christmas All!
I would love to find a wagon like this! First Dodge with the rear
facing
rear seat, D-500 option, Forward Look car, fins,torsion bars,
etc.etc......"All of the 57 Dodges with three seats featured a rear facing
third seat called a "Spectator" seat." (from page 184 The Dodge Story,
Thomas McPherson, copyright 1975) 34,2110 four door station wagons
built.On
page 218 of standard catalog of Chrysler, 1914-2000, second edition, list
that 500 Dodge D-500 models were scheduled. Apprx. 101 cars were fitted
with
the D-501 engine option as well.
Is the car a single or dual 4bbl.? Both were 325 cid, one 4bbl was the
D-500, dual 4's was the Super D-500. D-501 was a 354 w/dual 4's.
How rare today? I'd say very, as most wagons were not saved or at best
used to fix sweptside pick-ups, converts, hardtops, etc, so few were saved
just because they were wagons. Until about 5-10 years ago, few cared, now
wagons are becoming very popular.
Value? If you believe Old Car Price Guide, everything is valuable, from
my experience in my area of the U.S. it is 35-60% high, depending on the
car. OCPG lists the 57 9 pass. wagon at in condition 5 at $1944.00 plus
30%
for D-500 option, About $2525.00. IssueFeb.2004,volume 27, No.1.
Consider the difficulty in finding station wagon specific parts, labor,
shipping etc. and into that how bad do you want it and your financial
resources. I find it hard at times to think with my head and bank account
in
mind instead of my heart.....
Go for it if you can get it reasonable! Quite a rare piece of Mopar
history. Keep me posted, I am really interested in how you come out, if
you
get it etc.
