Thanks for your advice and insight... I completely agree with you. I want a daily driver capable car. I have no desire for a show pony. That doesn't mean I don't eventually want a clean, straight body but I want to rag the damn thing out too. Lol
A Ford budget I know... a Mopar budget I am having more trouble with.
TBH I have about 17k.. I allotted $3500 for the car and about $7,000 worth of paint and body so that leaves me about $6500. Worth it or not?
The guy swears up and down its a running motor... said it hasnt been very long since he last started it, but hes missing the wiring harness lol so I am skeptical. It is a 4 speed.
I got on my back and looked underneath.. its seems in very good shape.
The motor is a 383. I plan to get it out...
Now let me ask you all a question... based on the pictures you have seen and what you know about the car and the fact that it is a verified RR... I checked the VIN this morning. How much is a car like this worth in present condition?

Here are more pics... the undercarriage of the car seems FAIRLY rust free. I know these pics suck but I didnt see anything that looked rotten. Everything has surface rust but didnt look to be destroyed or even have any rust pits in it.
This guy is an old neighbor.. lives in a flood zone so house is built up beach style but I am about 30 miles from Galveston. Im about to post some more pics. He isnt even home until September 23rd so I am trespassing with his permission lol to take these pics.
Admittedly I have always been a ford guy... But recently caught the bug to restore a Roadrunner... A car I have always been very fond of. I am ignorant to Mopar in general. What are some things I should be looking for specific to the 1969 Roadrunner so that I do not make a massive mistake or...
Thanks guys... I have a lot to learn about the Mopar world. My first car was a 67 Mustang Coupe that my father and I fully restored. My neighbor is moving across the country and he has a 69 Road Runner and 71 Charger RT that he wants to get rid of... Hopefully it will be a great opportunity for...
Hopeful future Roadrunner owner. Looking to restore a 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner as my 2nd rest project. Have always been interested and excited about Plymouth/Mopar cars and I am looking to hopefully land one soon as a project. I am 31 yr old from Houston Texas. Have been a Ford guy all my...
