Same deal, motor out of car and apart, and radiator, air cleaner assy, and distributor had gone missing from the shop that took it apart (OO was not a DIY guy). It was triple black, no stripe, he special ordered it from Grand Spaulding Dodge in early fall of 1969. I owned it for 16 years, the first seven doing an every-nut-and-bolt restoration on it. I had never worked on a Hemi before either but I managed - not without incident! - to rebuild it and it ran strong when done. Sold it to a good friend in 1996 and he sold it 2 years later and it went to Bethesda MD to a guy who also had a black Hemi Road Runner. I could do an entire thread on all the trials and tribulations I went thru with that car.
Would love to hear more about it!
