My New Project -1970 RoadRunner

by **bradburm** » 09 Sep 2007 1:20

All,

Along with my 73 Rallye, I now have this new ride. Mama's not happy as one of the other cars is in the driveway but keeps me out of the bars.

Needs lots of TLC and been searching for a Roadrunner website .........anyway I attached a pic for everyone's viewing.

Something about Red....with black stripes.

Take Care,

Brad

1970 383 Post Coupe, 4 speed. I actually have been looking for over a year for a 1970 but most are priced out and need work. Picked this one up for $17K, Paint is good, very little rust, Interior needs lots of help, guages dont work but mechanicals, etc are pretty good.

I am going to get it back to match body tag, decals, go wing and engine is date coded correct.

It will bark the BF's through 3 gears, runs very strong............

Anyway, mama isn't happy but my first one never was either (lol)

Hello Brad. That is a great Road Runner! :thumbsup:

My favorite year. I think you did real good on the price too. I love E-Bodies but, I've alway's loved the B-Bodies as well. I spent some time with the owner of that plum crazy R.R. at the end of the world show. He was, I think the fourth owner. But he had extensive history on the car, and talked to all the previous owner's except for the 2nd, deceased. I asked him if it was a #'s car. He said,"Well most of it." Everything matched up except for the motor and tranny. But their #'s matched together. Only a few #'s off what the #'s on the car had. He talked to all the previous owner's about this issue,except for the dead guy of course, and they all comfirmed that the drivetran had not been replaced. He had three build sheet's in this car. Two for a road runner and one for a Satelite. :roll:

One other thing, the car was made Wednesday, the day before the ThanksGiving Holiday, 1969. :s006:

The only thing worse than a Monday or Friday car is, one that was made before the big Holiday. Funny history though. Factory #'s match that don't match. He love's this car and had it repainted. Car has about 90,000 mile's on it, and engine has not been rebuilt. He had the tranny serviced recentley though. :wink:

I know I'm rambling but, had to share at least 1/4 the story. Enjoy your B-Body car . Next step, A-Body Cuda. Tell your wife of the investment posibillities. :s003:

Have Fun; Pat
