Re: 1969 Roadrunner
Gary,
1968 and 1969 Hemi Road Runner car weights;
1968
Coupe..........#3560 lbs.
Hardtop........#3595 lbs.
1969
Coupe..........#3668 lbs.
Hardtop........#3685 lbs.
Convertible...#3806 lbs.
Back in 1969, when the NHRA changed up the weight/horsepower factors.
7.00 - 7.49 wt/hp was SS/D
7.50 - 7.99 wt/hp was SS/E
NHRA re-rated the 426/425 HP Street-Hemi to 475 horsepower.
The 68' Coupe had a 7.49 wt/hp, and fell into SS/D.
A horrible weight-to-horsepower factor.
But, the 69' Coupe (+108 lbs. heavier), with a 7.72 wt/hp could run
SS/E or A/S.
