I don't have any experience with small, separate amplifiers. I have a 70 Road Runner and chose to have an original 70 AM radio converted to a high power Bluetooth amplifier. I am very happy with this setup.

Speakers are all about size. With little 3.5" speakers you can't get any bass sounds. Likely your system sounds 'tinny'. Below is a speaker that will help. It is from Retromanufacturing.com No, I don't work for them and any similar speaker will help as well. The bottom line is you need to move...

I totally agree. On top of that, with a limited timeline the OP has no time to modify things like changing from an automatic to a manual. The absolute best course of action is to source a running 440 (like out of a motorhome as stated) and an automatic 727 transmission. This will be the least...

Here is my 73 340 car. I have owned it for 42 years and was my first car. I bought it for the whopping sum of $400. It is a 340, 727 Slap Stik and console, 3.55 sure grip with A/C and rear defroster. About 7 years ago the original numbers matching engine threw a rod out the side of the block. I...

I have a GV in my 73 Road Runner - essentially the same car from a structure perspective. I used it when I drove the car over 11,000 miles across country. (Look up RoadKill Runner if you want to check it out) Did it help? You bet, in lots of ways. Of course, it lowers RPM, and that reduces...

Is it painted Tahitian Gold Metallic?

@69Coronetrt is a walking encyclopedia on old Mopars, and has been researching and collecting details on these types of things for many years. I would trust his advice 100%.

I looked for a picture but unfortunately it doesn't look like I have one showing how it fits. I had no issue with the fitment at all. I think I have a similar speaker (but it has been a long time since I installed it) in my 73 Road Runner, which should have the same dash as you have. What...

There is a rod that goes through the floor of the car, and then goes through a bracket that is attached to the transmission. The bracket has a nylon bushing that the rod goes through. On my car, I found the rod was worn right where it contacts the nylon bushing. This caused me not to have...

This is the speaker I put in front. Bass sounds are not directional, so it has one speaker for lower sounds, but also 2 tweeters. This is a direct bolt in speaker and I am happy with it. I recommend it if you are trying to keep the car stock looking.

Agree this is the way to go. I had my original AM radio converted, and I run 5 speakers plus a subwoofer. Everything is hidden and looks stock, and the system sounds awesome. My only complaint is the AM radio makes it hard to tune a FM station because you don't know where you are on the dial...

I have the same part on my 73, but I have no idea how to source a new one. Unfortunately, the only method I am aware of is to find a donor car. They certainly could be reproduced, but I have never seen one. Good luck with your search!

So sorry to hear about the passing of your husband. These cars end up becoming so much more than 'just a car'. I'm sure there will be a lot of sentimental feelings tied up in your car, and it will make it all the more special. We are glad to help so please ask away!

I think there is room for both types of cars. My fully restored 70 Air Grabber is driven much more carefully, but it is still driven. Otherwise, why have it? My 73 Road Runner is my beater. Now, yes, I have a fully rebuilt drivetrain in it now, but the body has rust in several areas. It's fun to...

Lots of similarities with me. I have my Limelight 70 Air Grabber Road Runner that was fully rotisserie restored and is super nice, and my 73 Lemon Twist 340 Road Runner that has plenty of warts that I am making my driver (although it is with a 416 stroker and an overdrive). I drive the 70...

That looks amazing! Looks to me like the detailer did a nice job and that it was well worth the cost to do it. I agree with others who have suggested you fix the mechanicals and drive it. I think a presentable unrestored car can be more cool than a fully restored one. Enjoy it - what a find!

Good luck - I hope you can get the car at a price you are happy with. I think they are underappreciated cars that can really be a lot of run. Plus, how often do you see one on the road or at a car show? Personally, I see a lot more 68-70 models like my 70. At any rate, I am unfortunately not a...

Wow, here in the Northeast that car would be worth 10K all day if it is rust free - I would gladly pay 9 or 10 grand for it. I have a 73 340 Slap Stik automatic car that was my first car. I have always enjoyed driving it and still do. The 340 is a great engine, and now that mine is a 416...

Yes, it does - see his post 2081 above.

My Corvette was owned by my father-in-law for many years, so it is kind of a family heirloom. He called me 3+ years ago and asked it I wanted to be the new caretaker of the car. It is an unrestored car that was used by Noland Adams as a reference vehicle when he wrote his book (the VIN is...
