The seats have some signs of use, ut the wear is comforting, ot distracting, nd there are no splits or tears in the materials. Bucket seats were new to the options list in 1969, ut things like a center console were still optional, o this car does without (remember, t was all about bang for the buck). Factory gauges monitor most of the engine's vitals and of course, o self-respecting street brawler would cruise without a set of more accurate auxiliary gauges under the dash. The original AM radio with its unique thumb wheels remains in the center of the dash, lthough it's not working so an upgrade might be a smart choice. The trunk is truly massive, ven with a full-sized spare tire stashed in there, nd this one also features a correct mat and the textured undercoating inside strongly suggest that the quarter panels are original.But the real reason you want to own a Road Runner is that a big block was STANDARD EQUIPMENT. The matching-numbers 383 under the hood delivers smile-inducing acceleration and that wave of big block torque that made these cars so popular with young buyers in the '60s.
