* Option codes are taken
from Galen Govier's Chrysler Corporation Production Option Code Book
for 1969-1971. Only a few of the option codes are listed here,
and not all codes listed here were available with the Roadrunner
package. For a complete list of option codes available, refer
to the Production Option Code Book.
** This is not a list of all color options
available in the Chrysler and Plymouth lines in 1970. Consult Galen Govier's Chrysler Corporation Production Option Code
Book for a complete list.
Not all paint colors were available on the Roadrunner.
Additional colors were available by special order, code '999'.
Many Mopar-related publications use just the last 2 digits of the
color code to refer to a color, such as "B5 blue" instead of
"EB5 blue." ***
