Hello

Hi everyone,

New to the forum and have a somewhat specific question. And, given the fact that I have ran into so many dead ends I will not be disappointed if this ends up being another.

As you can see in the photo, my parents purchased a new 69' Convertible Road Runner. My father loved to churn vehicles and only kept if for about a year. Moved on to the Plum Crazy purple Duster and then another Road Runner.

I would like to try and determine if this car still exists. I do not have the VIN or any other concrete identifiers. Unfortunately my father passed away a few years back and while my mother is still alive we cannot find any records.

What I do know is that he purchased it from Don Joseph Chrysler Plymouth in Kent, Ohio. I contacted the dealership a few years back (Now DJ Toyota) and they do not have any records. I also contacted the Ohio DMV and they do not keep any records.

Didn't know if this vehicle would register with anyone on the site or if anyone knows a good forensic researcher for old Mopars.

Appreciate any help from fellow RR enthusiasts!

Thanks,
Jay

1) Welcome.
2) Without a VIN you're searching for a needle in a haystack...and even that might be a bit optimistic... Not to mention you will have no way to ever prove or disprove that any car that you might find was actually his car...

Understand completely. Really have no idea what records exist. Meaning any idea how many of that color were produced? Any record of what vehicle was sent to which dealerships. I am guessing that is the only one sent to Don Joseph in 1969.

My mother seems to vaguely recall a gentleman from Ft. Wayne, Indiana ending up with the car.

Like I said, used to dead ends. Thanks!

Welcome. Sorry to be like the other's. With even having a vin number it is hard to track where these car's are. Wish you luck with the search.

There are no records of colors produced, Good luck

Does anyone have the stats on roughly how many of the 2100+ produced convertibles From 69 are known to have survived? I know that’s a stretch as well.

No idea on that one but welcome to the group
