I went with the Powder Blue. I know the Gunmetal is leading in the poll, but man...how many silver cars on the road today?
It's a 70's car..the color should reflect it...and we weren't mild...we were wild back in the day!
Yeah, I just remembered the Stripe bird on the pillar column, and some stripe deletes did have the bird decal.
But that Road Runner decal on the pillar, I've never seen. Now, it doesn't mean it didn't come from the dealer that way, the dealers did a lot of stuff that the factory wouldn't do at...
In all of my 56 years on the face of this earth, well, at least from the time I was 18 till now, I've never seen a chrome Road Runner emblem on the pillar column like that.. The halo vinyl roof I have seen on a bird before, but they were much more common on the Satty's. And I think that is...
My first bird was this color... white canopy vinyl top, white interior... and I installed a rust orange shag carpet in mine... (hey, it was 1975...we all did it).
It is kinda nice to have that niche to ourselves. The "I love the 1973/1974 Sattys and RR" niche, without the speculators and investment dudes.

Not to stir up a debate, but if you google Muscle Car era, many of the returns identify the muscle car era from 1963-1974. I lived that era, and the 73 and 74's were muscle cars. The .318 wasn't a muscle car engine, but the other options were. And even the .318 could he hi po'd into a .340...
What's strange is that the people that cut the 73's and 74's out of the muscle car era seem to be biased towards the 72's and down. It's almost an elitist argument..."mine is better than yours..." and not very accurate.
Back in the day we did things to the .318, and a lot of the emissions...
Love this thread, all great looking cars. The Vitamin C Orange RR is nice, too bad they didn't have the high impact colors for the 73 and 74's back then.
I owned a 1973 Autumn Bronze RR back in 1975 through 1977 and it came with a white leather ( I know...I have friends that will swear on...
Back in the day, 1970's, I removed the trim rings from the Rallye Wheels on my 73 RR... they were always cutting the valve stems, sometimes completely off..
pain in the butts....:eusa_eh:
What he said....
and just from memory, FM was relatively new back in the early seventies, so many of us back then had AM radios in the car from factory..and we swtiched em out ...a lot.
We didn't have front license plates in Indiana back in the day, and my rr still had the front license plate. I hung an Indiana University vanity plate on it...
Along the same lines...electronix geniuses out there... I have a Craig Powerplay Quadraphenia player (8 track on steroids), still works, and I want to know.... with today's speakers being what they are..how in the heck do you wire this thing up to actually work so you can hear it? I could...
73 wasn't too far from the Bicentennial in 76, and I remember EVERYTHING being red white and blue during that period... add to that the AMC Rebel with the red white and blue combo, and you've got someone who was celebrating in style.......
Man oh man, how is it everybody in the world can find these parked outside barns and sheds, and I can't find one in that price range to buy..period. LOL.
Damn nice color combo... 73 and 74 Satty/Roadrunners are my favorite car of all time... and at 54, I'm gettin' antsy...
Buy the...
Man, I owned a 73 RR back in the day, and I had a few friends with one, my wife had a yellow Daisy Duke 74, and I've never heard of the rr emblem on the grille. I know they were an option on the older ones, but never saw them in the dealer brochures or on a car at all....strange.
