Title: 1969 Coronet (RT?) induction options?
Post by: INTMD8 on August 17, 2021, 09:08:26 PM
Just need a sanity check here.

I stumbled across a 69 Coronet RT (I believe, it has 3 rear taillights if that means anything).

440, 4-speed, Dana 60.

The person handling the car for the owner is claiming the dual 4 barrel cross ram is original and was an option in 69. 

I thought that was only 426 max wedge and 440 in 69 was single 4 or 6 pack.

Is this some rare Mopar oddity I'm unaware of or as I suspect not possible?

Thank you.

three taillights was 500 WP (383 4bbl was largest engine) & R/T WS for 69

R/T was 440HP 4bbl or HEMI only

I checked to yesterday to see if it was at least the original block and seems it is not.

Completely forgot to look at the top pad of the block, but anyway, here are a few photos if anyone is interested in seeing them.

Flat towing to race tracks was very common. A lot of guys couldn't afford trailers, the trucks to tow a trailer, roll backs, etc. You drove it there and crossed your fingers you didn't break or flat towed.
