A grandpa might as well look like a grandpa!

This is the latest gem I picked up late yesterday afternoon. It's just your basic 318, auto on the column, p steering, manual 10" drum brakes. It has a few flaws, mostly a couple moderate size dents the left rear quarter. I wonder if a paintless dent guy can massage them out, but it's clean and with very low mileage.

Don't know who the original owner was, but the 2nd owner was from Mahopac, NY & he bought it in the spring of 2005. The guy I bought it from locally, just got it to flip. There's a 2005 NY inspection report with the mileage showing 13,793. The odometer now reads 13,856...... 63 miles in 20 years! He got it inspected every year, but apparently he only drove it to the inspection station & back. I have 19 years worth of NY inspection reports, so that pretty much documents the mileage since 2005.

It doesn't need to be restored, but needs a good cleaning, detailing tires and a muffler.

Once I get new tires, these will go back on the steel wheels.

Awesome car! Would surely like to find a gem like this lurking in my neck of the woods. Looks great!

A day two look would look good on that car too. Some L60s on the back with a set of Cragars.

Super cool! Beautiful car!

Back in fall of 1968, my best friend bought a new 68 Sport Satellite, we were 20. 383 4 speed, that f3 light ish green, gold vinyl top and interior. Pretty car and fun. He ordered it because he thought the Roadrunner was childish.

Back about 93 or so I restored (cosmetic) a 68 Sport Sat. vert. Seems like it was a 383 AT, took it to Mopar Nats and had one guy make an offer, sold it...cheap. Rare car but not a friggin Roadrunner!
