thanks for the tips guys! i think i'm gunna go for the car i was lookin at and offer 8000.00. around these parts these cars are quite rare! even on e-bay they are expensive and by the time you fly down to look at them and ship them back with all the potential troubles' i think its easier to go for one in your back yard! and hey! half the fun is saying and knowing you did a ton of work to it yourself! in the end' they stopped making 69 roadrunners awhile back unless someone started production again and i'm outa the loop! p.s there is a guy up here selling a 70 with all the panels on the drivers side crunched no interior or gauges even, no eng or trans for 3500.00 ! but year after year they become more rare! I mean, even 5 or 6 years makes a difference now on finding one hidden some where! if you guys know of any good places to look for mopar muscle, let me know, thanks!
