Hi fratzzog lover, really want a 4speed. I contacted MAXmotive about the red Road Runner. Had trouble getting answers to my questions. The ones they did answer were no numbers on the radiator support, rust/bubbles on both doors. Not the original engine and trans, which is not a problem except $38,000 is what I would expect to pay for one with numbers matching. Thanks
Hey Waxrat, he and I worked together in 1973, he had it five years at that point and was only selling it because his wife was pregnant, and also she could not drive a 4speed. We traded cars, my 67 Ford Galaxy 390 auto and $300.00. Since he bought it new it was the car he had when they dated as well. At that time is was very common to sell your prized possession when starting a new family. My wife and I decided not to have children so my story stops here.
Hey Ranger16, that is nice, really want a 4speed.
Please see my response above.
Thanks toolmanmike, sorry, I am new to the forum and will move my request to the Classified forum.
Well, are you going to make some big bones on the deal? This would be an easy decision for me if I owned the car for 46 years and the original owner only had it for 3. Took me just one time to sell a car to a 'friend' that was committed to keeping it for ever. "That's a keeper" he said to me and what he did was put a paint job on it and a new cheap top (rag top car) and flipped it. Nope, never again unless I just don't care about the car I'm selling. In this case, you must care for the car or you wouldn't have kept it this long but if you're looking for a car that's not numbers matching so you won't feel guilty about doing mods to it, then go for it.
Can't fault you for that. I felt exactly the same when I was looking.
I would recommend looking at cars on line.com They have many 68 Roadrunners for sale
Thanks 73HEMI_RR_GTX, I tried that site back in Jan. before posting here, emailed and called every non Hemi 68 4speed Road Runner listed numerous times, and have yet to get a reply. I don't think they update when the cars are no loner available.
Hi GetX'd, not sure if they are rare or just not for sale. To give you an idea, there was one at a classic car dealer. All my questions were answered then they told me there was a deposit on it. A week later it was still listed, I called and asked what was going on, they said sale was pending waiting on financing. A week after that it was still listed, so I called again, now buyer was waiting on the inspection report. I asked them to call me if he deal fell through. That's when they told me there were others in front of me. They said there was a waiting list of 22 and I was number 7. Number 6 bought the car. Just my luck!
