    Tail Light Lens Too Dark (turning almost black)

    Some persons suggest it is an electrical grounding problem, but I don't think so. Just thought I would mention this fact in case anyone else finds their tail lights are dimmer than they would like. My parents had a new '71 Road Runner, so I know what things looked like when factory fresh. I...

    Why a Roadrunner?

    Parents purchased a '71 Bahama Yellow RR new special ordered from the dealer. Took my first DMV driving test in that same vehicle at 16 and drove it to high school for two years. Oh, what got us started was the selection of the 1971 Satellite/Road Runner line of cars as "Car of the Year" by Road...

    Accidentally found the Bahama Yellow Road Runner I took my DMV driving test in when I was 16 and which I drove to high school as a junior and senior. How? Signed up with a group on Facebook called '71-'72 Road Runners and posted a comment explaining how my parents special-ordered a new Road...

    Speedometer Reading to Slow

    I have an extra cluster for 71-74 BBody Rallye dash and an extra speedometer for that. Looking at the extra speedometer (which is loose in the box right now) I don't see any way to adjust the speedometer one way or another. The needle has a small, weak return spring and there is the aluminum...

    Speedometer Reading to Slow

    When I purchased my '72 Satellite Sebring Plus, the orginal 318 and Torqueflite had been removed from the vehicle. I changed the gaskets in the motor and replaced it in the vehicle, had the automatic transmission rebuilt by a local shop and replaced it in the car. Never touched the original 8...

    Which clips hold on the plastic inner panels (rear seat)?

    The plastic panels (1971-1972) that hold the rear seat arm rests have two square metal fixtures that must hold on to some kind of clip, snap, peg, or wire that holds the panel tight against the sheet metal under the rear side window. Does anyone have a foto of what they look like. The metal...

    Are Glasspacks really the sh*t?

    Glass pack mufflers never drone, that's why I like 'em. Currently have a pair of Purple Hornies on my '72 SSP. They are fairly quiet at speed/cruise, a little loud upon acceleration. I put a pair of Thrush mufflers on my parents new '71 Road Runner 383 auto back in the day. These were the Thrush...
