Working slowly on bring this car back to life. It’s been too long dormant and stored away. By next spring I hope to have it ready to scare some kids and moms.
About this Mopar:
I got this car from the original owners nephew, and hope to meet the original owner soon. It’s been off the road since 1976, and I would like to be able to pick them up and take them for a ride, to let them know that it’s in good hands.
It’s a very interesting car to me. It has no options at all, and was sitting on the lot for almost 5 months, hiding behind no striping, minimal badging, and 14” white sidewall tires. Nobody bothered to look under the hood apparently, except for the original owner. It came from a dealership known to have a successful racing program, and ironically the same dealership where my parents bought their Roadrunner back in 1970.
It has 71k original miles, all original drivetrain, all original interior and paint, and is a time capsule of sorts. I’d like to do as little as possible to it and just drive it.
So I included a couple pics of the day I brought it home, and one of it cleaned up so far. Much to do, but I got all winter.
