383a4runner Intro

[383a4runner]

Hey everyone. I have a 69 roadrunner post car. Originally a4 silver with pewter bucket seats auto on column with red accent stripe. Currently it's white with black interior. When I get the money I will be doing a restoration to put it back as original as I can. I don't have original engine so I'll be looking for a 69 block or a warranty block. 302966 is last of vin if y'all could check your 383 engines. IMG_0899.JPG

Welcome! I'm partial A4 myself! The original paint was not very durable and had a tendency to fade and deteriorate but I don't know why anyone would change that color combo on a repaint...especially with a red accent stripe? No hurry to restore it but I hope you are enjoying driving it for now?

I drive it a little. My dad restored it about 10 years ago. He always wanted a white one. It has all new metal. It's a pain to drive with 12.5 compression tho. The paint has some chips from my daughters scooter and other toys. Really all it needs is a repaint in silver and some original bucket seats.

Love the Power Wagon. Miss mine, but the D100 rides better and is easier on gas.
