Nope. The Magnum 500 was an option in '69...

no, it says road wheel ....they look like magnum 500 but there is a trim ring and rim on the wheel is not chromed. not magnum 500

They are even on the cover of the '69 dealer brochure...

69/70 wheel

They were on it when I bought it to restore. Might be original...

the ones you have appeared after 73 when there was no markings so they could be used by dodge and Plymouth divisions ....after 73 was the age of standardization and so much cheaper to make one universal corporate cap than making individual caps for each division

Close enough for the look trying to be obtained 48 years later. It's not a rotisserie restoration...it's an F8 green Roadrunner wearing Sublime paint, modified 383 engine with aftermarket air conditioning rolling on modern radial tires with aftermarket power disc brakes.

Good thing about a runner is they look good in any combo

Wow. That guy should give a course on car ad design.

I'm trying to convince a friend to put aluminum slots on his '69 Roadrunner. Whaddya think?

I hate to say it but I actually like slots better un-polished.

Extreme pressure will find the weak link every time. I wonder if it was a metallurgy defect?

I once had the top of a push rod snap off while I was watching a 225 slant engine running with the valve covers off. Shut the car down and inspected the piece. There was an air pocket inside the top of the stem where it broke at the cup from the manufacturing process. Funny thing was that it was an OEM pushrod...with 75k miles on it.

I suppose it didn't like working with people watching it.

And anything machined has surface defects alla over. Stamped or forged is tougher. Or shot peened.

Hi there!

My daughter is having a sleepover with a couple of friends and left her iPad at home (?). Her alarm went off at 6:10 since today is Monday. I had to get up to turn it off so the other kids wouldn't wake up eventually. I know she has at least three alarms every morning ...

Day off in most of Europe, I think. The labor movement's prime day.

Good Morning
