Re: [Chrysler300] 69 Roadrunner

[Russ Vaughan <Pacesetter300@xxxx>]

An article for a November issue of Hot Rod was probably written pre production in June or July. It's a possibility it was considered by Chrysler at that time, then rejected. Why buy a GTX of the only difference was a little trim? Another possibility in my opinion the information was intentionally false to throw a curve at Ford and Chevy. It's been known to happen before - many times - by all manufacturers. 

Bottom line, no matter who said what, a 440 was not a regular production option on the RR except as previously mentioned.

Hot Rod magazine was/is generally bow-tie related, with some exceptions. If 
you wanted a 440 in a B-body Plymouth, you had to opt for the GTX.
