Note; {From the Factory}
Though they were never produced, a 'bare bones' 1969 Road Runner 'Coupe' with a 440 'Super Commando'
and an 8 3/4" Rear-End would weigh in at approximately #3522 lbs. {less any Bells and Whistles}.
Now, add in the 9 1/4" Dana Rear-End, and upgraded 'suspension components', and the Road Runner
would come in at #3621 lbs.
Remove the 'steel' Hood and Hood Hinge Assembly Units, and replace them with a Fiberglass Hood, and
you save {66 lbs.}.
Replace the 'cast iron' Intake with an 'Aluminum Intake' and you save another {20 lbs.}.
#3621 lbs. - #86 lbs. = #3535 lbs.
That is the 1969 Road Runner 'A12' 440 Six-Barrel.
