In 1969, Chrysler painted their engines two different colors depending whether they were high performance (Orange) or low performance (Turquoise). Order either a Road Runner or Super Bee and you got the HiPo 383/335 HP engine:



But . . . if you ordered AC, you got the LP 383/330 HP engine. In this case your engine would be painted Turquoise not Orange like this Super Bee with AC:



This Road Runner (Convertible) was ordered with Factory AC. It is NOT the correct color. Should be Turquoise not Orange:
