first I should give a bit of history on why I’m asking thee questions; I’m a Mopar guy who has restored a 66 Coronet 500, 69 d100, 70 d100, and a 68 charger (which I never should have sold!).
I’m looking at getting into another Mopar muscle car and I’ve found an intriguing 71 road runner locally. The car is in really decent shape and is a factory 383, 4 speed manual pistol grip all black car.
I’ve decoded the fender tag to figure out what’s right and wrong with the car compared to factory, and the only major thing changed is that it was originally a factory bench seat car, and now has buckets.
I am hoping some of you gurus out there can educate me, hopefully with pictures, about these cars!
Most of my questions are regarding the A87 road runner decor package, which this car had. I am unsure about a few of the items and if I wind up with the car I would want to make it right.
1) custom style vinyl trim- I have no idea where this would be or what it should look like
2) rear bumper tape treatment- I see what it should look like online, but what about on a factory black car; would it have had white decals on the lower valence below the rear bumper?
3) hood scoop sport stripes- I’m assuming these would have been the line stripes in white in the lowered part of the hood Stamps SS facing sideways?
4) Deluxe steering wheel- I couldn’t find what this should look like online for a 71
5) wheel lip mouldings- self explanatory and missing on this car.
The car has been repainted and some of these details were obviously not put back on.
Also, this car has a rear spoiler; we’re rear spoilers coded in the fender tag? No mention of one when I decided it.
And finally, the strobe stripe; the car has one although it’s silver and I read they were only available in black who’re or gold. Is the strobe stripe something that should show up in the fender tag too?
Any help in clarifying these items for me from the RR decor package would be greatly appreciated!
