Hi Res photos needed for a book (cars must be stock appearing)

[69Hurstsc]

Hey fellow members. I'm working on a book on the 1969 Plymouth Road Runner. It's part of a new series here at CarTech where we will feature individual models.

I'm currently looking for Hi Res imagery of ALL factory colors offered on the 1969 Road Runner. You must be the photographer of the car(s) as I will need you to sign a permission form for usage.

I would prefer an assortment of photos, nothing from car shows though, and hoods down on all shots except features of the trunk, interior or engine bay. If possible, I would like full shots from both sides of the car. These cars MUST BE STOCK appearing. If it's bored .30 or has 4.56 gears it won't matter as that won't be photographed. The book is called, "1969 Plymouth Road Runner: In Detail". I will thoroughly examine options, marketing, advertising and the general history of the 1969 Road Runner in this book. It will be 92 pages all dedicated to our favorite bird. You will be credited in the book as the photographer so please do the best job you can in shooting your car.

Once I start accumulating imagery I will begin to post on what colors are still needed for the book. If you have a 999 car with valid documentation showing that it's some other color other than Bahama Yellow, Orange or Rallye Green I would love to see it!

Being an "in house" guy I'm not going to be able to compensate for photography. Hell, it's pretty damn cool to see your car or photo in a book, right!?!?!

Please email me photos at wes.eisenschenk@gmail.com

Are you going to include '69 A12 optioned road runners?.......................uh and wouldn't the correct spelling be lower case road runner? :topsy_turvy:

 

[69Hurstsc]

Of course the A12 cars will be in the book. Lower case appeared on the cars, but not in the advertisements. The general rule of thumb is you follow how the manufacturers advertised to the public. It's the same for 'cuda and 'Cuda.

 

[Basketcase]

so then these probably won't work for you then.....

 

[69Hurstsc]

Correct.

You need to head over here, http://a12mopar.com/yabb/YaBB.pl I'm sure there are lots of high resolution photos of day one A12 Road Runners :biggrin: available from the members. But watch out someone may try to slip in an A12 Super Bee or two :biggrin-new:

Will any of these help? 3birdsix put this together a long time ago.

[69Hurstsc]

They all would help! However, I would need to find the actual photographer of each car in order to ask for permission on usage.

I believe that R4 was officially called Barracuda Orange.

Have to admit I never noticed that:

Applied to Road Runner's though it was called Performance Red. It looks like I had a typo on the list.

 

[69Hurstsc]

Has anyone ever seen a Y3 Yellow Gold Road Runner in person before?

 

[RAINMANYEH]

Still working on her

 

[tokosj]

I have a great photo of a 70 B5 Superbird if you ever need one.

 

[Collin]

I have an extremely stock looking T7 Road Runner if you are still interested
