69 Road Runner I owned back in the 80's and still regret selling. I don't have any pictures of it with the Magnums or Centerlines that I can find (5.5 shallow offset up front and 15x10's tucked under the rear with N-50's). Just one with old slots on it after I first got it.
It was a 4-speed with a 3.91 rear gear. Very fast and got about 14mpg when not using the outboard carbs!!
It was an original 383 4-speed, bench seat, a/c car.

They worked good for me. It was my daily driver for about 2 years. I got mad and sold it when detonation reared it's ugly head and broke a piston. I was young and dumb!!!
I was short on cash and put 87 octane in with 11 to 1 compression. OOOPS!! Live and learn. The Mopar .509 cam sounded awesome too!!
It still have the OEM oval tips on the rear as well as well as the functioning air grabber hood that was cable actuated. I bought the complete 6bbl set-up for $400. It had the vacuum secondary carbs but my buddy had a real 71 440+6 Road Runner that had mechanical secondaries and he wanted his oem, so we traded carbs. If you look at mine, you will see that the front carb has an accelerator pump instead of a large vacuum diaphragm.
Here is his 71 that he had. It was a numbers matching car and the guy he sold it to cut it up, tubbed it and made a race car out of it
