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:
