They did make after market parts if you cant find one.
I've read some bad reviews on those. Anybody purchased the after market?..

I got one at Tony’s, it needed repairs and he had the repair parts also. I am in the process of restoring it.

I know there is no known answer to this, but I wonder how many 69 Road Runners came factory with the N96 Option. Finding an OEM duct work isn't a needle in a haystack, but pretty dang close, I think.
From what I can find, they made 78,906 Road Runners in total in 1969.
1,412 were the A12 so they all had it.
787 were Hemi's so they all had it. (Of which 10 were verts, I'm drooling as I type)
So if you take those out of the equation that leave's 76,717 cars.
Based on my unscientific, unsubstantiated and definitely informal research based soley on casual observations then adjusted for my own amusement, I'm guessing that 5% of the remaining cars had the N96 option or 3830 cars.
I think the "383" portion is a nice number, so I'm going with that.

The 1412 A12s were different as in hood and air cleaner so they are out. I would guess 10% but most of them do now LOL

Just to clear, are you just wanting the air cleaner assembly, or the entire air grabber set up?

Fair enough, kind of ruins my "383" theory though.

remember that a road runner and a GTX in 69 had the same air duct under the hood . the only difference is the air cleaner on them were different. if you have a stock intake for a 383 then you have to have the 2 3/4 one

I have one on my 70 Roached Runner. I know not correct but I like them better. It has the same patina as the rest of the car and it helps hide the nitrous.
Oh I would take a whole setup

Depends on how many miles you drive it. I have enough Fram paper filters for my car and have one correct element I put on for a true judged show when I get there. I got 2 cases of filters 15 years ago for 80 bucks and sold off what I didn't need. If you drive allot get a K&N
