IMO. You can restore it to what it was from the factory and sell it for 20-25K, after putting around 30K into it (net loss).
You can restore it as a RR and have some 25-30K into it and sell if for around 25K (still a net loss).
The above figures are if you do a good chunk of...

Welcome Sir!!!! Hmmm, where to begin? I have restored this body style (see "73 Roadrunner 340 Auto" on this site) and I would start with a simpler question, "What do you want to do with this car?" Drive it as is, drive it while restoring it (pretty hard but can be done), resto mod it, or put...
Side note, make sure everything is painted (below the dash and the A pillars) as the moldings (interior and exterior) do not cover as much as one would think. Especially the bottom chrome piece. Painted the car, installed the glass, and then had to go back and paint black over the body color...
According to this fella, "The original 15 x 7 Rallye wheels were also given a full restoration"

I was looking a little closer at this whole swap idea. Personally I like the buckets better but it looks like the floor hump is much further back on a bucket seat car than it is on a bench seat version by several inches. In addition the shifter on the bucket seat car is much straighter. I am...
Good to know, I was thinking about these covers and foams from Legendary:
About $1200 worth, but it might just be the way to go.
Still have to figure out if the stock shifter will work, being that is was for a bench seat, it might have a bigger offset to allow for the bench being moved...
I have restored a 1973 Roadrunner to as close to original as I can get. I have a second 1973 Roadrunner (340 4-speed Sure grip) that was ordered with a bench seat. Some PO had swapped out the bench for buckets that didn't fit right and were from an earlier Roadrunner.
I hunted down the correct...
Depending on how much this guy wants to buff the rest, I would let him go nuts on it. Then you will know what you have and just how much bodywork you have to do. I have seen these guy work miracles on faded paint. Upside, it will motivate you to work on the rest of the car. Nice looking from...
Yup, Yup! Drove my 69 Roadrunner year round in the UP of Michigan. Snow, salt, or even a blizzard could not stop me from getting to the bar. Good snow tires and four bundles of roofing in the trunk helped a lot, but I still put it in the ditch a number of times. Good times!! Great...
Different look to that car. Started as a 73-74 Satellite, then got some 71 GTX stripes, followed by some 19????? scoops, and topped of with a wing. Not judging, just saying it has a different look.
