Ok, so car is home and I have started the disassembly.... The interior was the first to go and when I removed the carpet I was not surprised, but a little disappointed to see that there is some minor cancer in the floorboards. Typical for a 45 year old convertible I guess, but was hoping to...

Mine is a bucket seat car with center console as well. Lots of great stuff in this thread.... Chapdog, you are driving my vision for this car.... If it takes five years to do it... then so be it. I also agree that I am starting in much better shape that what your starting picture looked like...

VIN is RM27H9C250003..... Decided that regardless of what the true origin of the car is, I will stick with the 440.... just knowing the history of the car would make it a lot more fun to talk about is all....

You guys are great, thanks for the quick responses.... really looking forward to this project and want to make it to the Smokey Mountain Rod Runs in style next year....

Going to try and attach some pictures.... car looks rough in these, but it's been sitting outside untouched for six years other than being started periodically.... you can see some surface rust, but I have found no spots rusted through anywhere on the car..... Also, all the missing trim...

Ok, VIN says the car was in fact originally a 383 Roadrunner.... maybe a little disappointed, but not much. Car currently has a 440 in it and runs strong leaving me with the delima of deciding to stay with the 440 or going to the original 383 for the resto.... I also have a line on a '69 426...

Just picked up a 69 Convertible Roadrunner, working on a VIN search to verify the proper engine, but appears to be the 426Hemi with an automatic transmission.... rare find if true, wish me luck. Regardless of the engine combo, excited to get this thing back out on the streets. Car is complete...
