401  

Which would make it an April's Fool car.

However the air cleaner (if original, which I believe it is) looks like the '67 type which they used in early '68.  

BTW nice find Stewart.  

[moparstuart]

Hey, ain't you the guy begging for free parts to your son's B-Body project ?  I don't get it. ?     :brickwall:

Dang, Folks we all have been had.

Some people just don't get it. I wanted to help you and your son, but it is obvious You don't need our help.

Absolutely not!!!!!!!  , We asked for second and left over parts from peoples restorations  a bunch of great people offered to donate towards my sons cause  he is only 15 and was 14 at the time .  People were awesome and felt strongly that a younger generation kid not into tuners was a great cause  ,  We paid for many of the  parts and also paid most of the shipping cost for the donated parts .   Ians Road runner is a shell of a basket case hauled out of a salvage yard after 30 years so it needed every thing   , Again its a Ratty Muscle built so most of the parts we got were ratty and that cool thats all we wanted  , We in no way cheated or try to make you feel HAD !!!!  infact We havent even gotten the header from you yet you donated    So I dont know where this is coming from ? We have met face to face and you know me .  If anyone feels cheated by me or my son we will gladly return any parts you gave us or Pay you if we can .  Did i luck into a fantastic surviver ,yes  could i turn down the car down , NO Abosolutely not if it was in my power to get it ,  i was going to  . Did we sell my sons car or his parts to do so NO its his and he will build it as he can , he is trying to get his Driver license  now and get a job so he can make money to work on it , Am I financing his car NO i believe he  need to do that  I bought him the car  800.00 if you want to know  and gave him a ton of parts myself including all the drive train .    I didnt have all the money to buy the charger so i borrowed it from a couple friends , Am I rich or make ton of money no just an average guy who has worked and struggled for everything i have like you .    there now you know my life story !!!

I do see this, FF1 (red circle). Equates to:

F = Light Green Metallic (roof color)
F = Light Green Metallic (body color)
1 = Monotone Paint

Here is my source of where I got this info:
