Last one is here now. No more moving cars for a while. Demon, Dart, and now the Road Runner is home. Need to find somewhere to store 2 of them inside, or get covers.

Had to fight with the left front brake to get it to loosen up so it would roll.
Couple more shots.

It was 24 years ago that the body and paint work was done.
It was my Daily driver from 1983 to 1991. It then got parked behind the house for around 3 years. Then it moved into a nice garage, and sat there for 16 years.
Wish I had the money to buy the $700 quarter panels, and the floor and trunk pans.
It's a 383 4 spd, with an 8 3/4 rear. 11" drum brakes all around.
Original color appears to have been Butterscotch.
Black interior, 150 speedometer, No tach.

Don't hate me because i'm beautiful
Great looking Road Runner there.
I'm glad you kept it for all of these years.
Why not get it running and roadworthy for now and drive it a bit as is?
Bet it would bring back a lot of memories.....

You can see in the one picture why you should run sub frame connectors.
The roof to quarter panel joint is cracking.
It needs brake work, and the interior is nasty after sitting so long. There is no radiator in it, manifolds with no exhaust, and a 2bbl intake and carb from a 400.

I always liked that body style and that strobe stripe.
Get driving it!

Lot's of stuff to go through before I can drive it.

has cork sides
Can't drive a rusty car around, that's just begging for bad things. Very nice car man, but looks like you got some pretty decent work ahead of you, but damn, its still badass!!
