Isn't that grille emblem wrong too?

This is not true. I had a 69 Roadrunner with ac back in the mid 70's and it was indeed orange. And the original 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:

It's supposed to be TURQUOISE as the 383/330 HP engine was not considered a high performance engine. The fact that yours was ORANGE - well mistakes were always made on the assembly line.

Did you hear of the Jim Taylor collection coming to auction this October? It's got some rare stuff, like a real factory race '55 Type D Jag that wasn't raced, and an unrestored '64 Cobra 289, and a '67 427 Cobra with only 8k miles
