Plymouth found that adding the nosecone to the standard Road Runner end actually slowed the car down, so they opted for Dodge Coronet front fenders, which had a taper towards the front.
It's more likely that the Road Runner mentioned in the previous post was a Superbird that had some significant front end damage, and since Superbird nosecones, plus all the mechanisms for the headlights, weren't exactly commonplace in junkyards, they probably just installed a standard Road Runner schnoz.

You know Mike, Thxs for posting this. Those front fenders were the 1st thing that I noticed as wrong w that car. If it were in fact a legit car - Whose to say that it wasn't a victim of a front clip replace due to collision? No worries or matter either way IMO.

Thxs, it's this image angle that really illustrates the work of art in that Hurst shifter handle.
