I was working for a dealer in late 68,69 and had a Hemi Road Runner on order. I was able to pay $100 extra and it was to be painted a fleet color. While waiting for the factory to schedule some cars in Omaha Orange we received the info on the 6BBL, I quickly cancelled my order and changed to the 6 BBL. The main reason was the warranty, but the fact that they now offered the same color mine would no longer be unique. I kind of wish I had kept that order as a special color Hemi 69 would be a rare piece today.I had Corneilson speed shop in Corning Iowa do a partial blueprint ,replaced the clutch ,Hooker headers, 4;56gears,I won my class at a points meet at Cornhusker in Omaha ,Probably in 1970. It is currently in Holland Michigan ,way nicer than it was new.
