My new project 69 roadrunner

[moparchris]

Here it is, I finally figured out how to post some pics for you to view. I bought this 69 off of ebay and it was 700 miles from me so I loaded up the trailer and headed north to retrieve it. A great road trip and when I got to the car it was exactly as it was pictured with snow and everything. I have many other project but I needed a beater to drive around and enjoy. I am the third owner and it is all numbers matching and largely unmolested. Unfortunately it lived its whole life in Salt Lake City and it was driven in the salt and snow so it has alot of rust. I will take some more pics here in a few days so check back ater this week and I will have them in this album. It runs real strong and the trans is pretty much junk so first on the list is a 4 speed swap. :drive:

Hey guys thanks for the kind words even if its green :brickwall: Did Plymouth actually offer any other color than green? I wouldnt know since every roadrunner I have owned has been green.

My plans are to put some tires on it, an alternator and drive it everyday to work. I am in the process of buying a rustfree satelite so that in the near future I can put the rustfree sheet metal on it. It needs alot of work but I think I can do it. It needs : trunkfloor, extensions, tailpanel, inner and outer wheel houses, dutchman panel, both quarters, patches on the rockers, and front fenders! Whew! Well it needs alot, it also has no options. I want to paint it green with the green interior since I have never had restored a car to its original colors before. And for some reason what was so horrible in my youth looks good to me now! The engine runs great, so good, in fact, that I would say that its the best running 383 I have seen. So I will re-gasket it and paint it and put it back. I want to put a 4 gear in it and that will happen very soon. I want this car to be light hearted and fun for me since all the other restos get serious and it takes away from me enjoying it, yeah their great to look at when they are perfect, but I am a nervous wreck when it comes time to take it to the track and beat on it.

Thanks roadcuda, I really like the looks of your car. For some reason I went from ugh green to really liking it! I dig the dog dish with the polyglasses. Do you have pics of your car somewhere on here?
