Hello, I'm new here.

[Evensteven]

Hello All! New to the form, old to Mopars. My first car was a '69 Roadrunner in 1972, I had just turned 16. Bought it from my older brother. That car is long gone and now I'm yearning for a replacement.

It was in B5 blue with blue interior and about as plain Jane as you could get: 383, bench seat with auto on the column, 3.23 gears. That was a fun car!

Wouldn't mind some options, A/C would be nice. Also P/S, P/B. Hemi is out of the question, too rich for my blood but wouldn't mind a 440. 4-speed? Maybe. Also looking as GTX but they're nowhere near as plentiful.

So far just window shopping about 20 or so of the on-line dealers. Looks like prices for nice clean ones start at about 60K.

Strong budget. But if your set on Air and a 440, the GTX might be your best option. Especially if you're looking at 1969 models.

Welcome to the site. It is a hunt for these cars, and you just have to keep looking. Found mine near buy and need a lot of work to say the least. Are you looking for one finished or a project car. Hope you find it no matter what.

Yes, I'm thinking the same. I'm in no hurry, taking my time to get the lay of the land.

Not really interested in a project. I owned 3 Mopars in the '70s and '80, rebuilt an engine for one and have replaced more starters, alternators, and water pumps than I can remember. Brakes, headers, carburetors, distributors, you name it. I mainly just want to drive it I Am torn between getting show car quality and getting a nice driver. Will probably go with the driver, will be happier, and probably save some money.

Keep an eye on Peter Tom. He seems to have made his life work finding roadrunners for sale.

You`ll get a much better deal private sale, probably save $20k. Some, but not all, of those dealer cars are perfumed pigs, make sure you check it over very carefully.
