1969 Hemi Roadrunner. Not mine But, I sure wish it was

[gtx6970]

I used to own a near twin to this car, Mine was hardtop and 4spd .
Same colors and wheel options as my old car

I wish I was in a position to make a stab for this one bigtime . But to do so would require I sell my current car, and thats not gonna happen

That looks like big bucks. Wish they would show some photos of the chassis.

Very nice car. Spring Green. I have friends who work at the shop that did that car.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Pretty car.

Resto by Mancini with its quality and reputation is going to add to sell price. Might not recover that resto costs, but will add over some typical comps.

I noticed the PCV valve is on the driver side of the car / engine. Isn't it supposed to be on the other side, or is it different on the 1969 Hemi engine? I don't recall ever seeing them this way.

Good catch, I’m by no means an expert but logic dictates that the breather/oil fill should be on the same side as the dipstick…

PCV is right where it belongs

PCV is right where it belongs

OMG - if I tell my buddy with the 69 Hemi RR that he now has his valve covers reversed, he’s going to have a fit. First, I found we couldn’t align it as LCAs were on the wrong sides, then I pointed out he had the rear springs reversed, and then it was the Charger glove box he had on the car.

STUNNING car... WOW. Apparently it was featured at Carlisle this year in the “High Impact Paint” display, did anyone see it?

 

[66ChargerHI-PO]

I’m curious to see what it sells for, any predictions? I’m gonna say $150,000.

I bet the resto cost was over $150K. But you rarely get that cost back. Especially the elite OE cars.

That 71 340 Duster that sold for $159k done by Mancini. It was said the restoration receipts alone were over $250K. https://www.autoevolution.com/news/...duster-340-sells-for-record-price-227982.html

1969 Hemis with the air grabber hood and oval air cleaner.
PCV valve is drivers side. Valve cover breather is pass side
The valve cover breather has a fitting / hose that connects to a nipple on the air cleaner base ( see picture)

NON air grabber cars the VCs are reversed. They used the chrome dome air cleaner and said nipple is on drivers side

Correction.

Valve covers are right.
just switch locations between the PCV cap and breather cap

PS, breather cap should be the tall chrome one with a hose nipple on it

Just swap breather locations and reroute hoses you are good

Gorgeous. Never saw Electric Green in person. Too nice to drive. Will live in storage.

Nice car...
Love the color, looks way better in the bottom photos
without the 'fugly ***' hubcaps

I'll be watching to see what it sells for

But it's out of my league/$$$ pricing these days

1st thing I'd do is put some Polished Halibrands & wider radial tires on it
put the painted steelies in the corner for the next owner
