So I bought this Roadrunner off Craigslist as a parts donor car for my other 73 RR.

See pics and video here:

Just wanted to show it to everyone here and hear what you guys see?
I know enough to be dangerous, looks like a 400 car, with a 727 transmission. There is no fender tag, was removed.

Dash gauges look good. Does the speedo always go to 150mph?
Has a sunroof, unsure if this is original dealer installed?

I am mostly curious about the Red Strip on the roof. Is this a custom job? I feel like I have seen that stripe on cars before.

They included with the car, parts to replace the rotted out frame at the trunk. A brand new 2 part trunk pan and new rocker arms.

No Trunk, no headliner and no BEEP BEEP horns. <--- Bummer!




 
The stripe is a custom job, and the sunroof looks to be after market. Not original bucket seats. Front bumper and both front and rear bump stops look pretty good, front grille looks salvageable as well as headlight bezels. Roof rail trim looks good. Dash (not the pad) and instrument cluster look pretty good, got an am/fm radio, and the floor pans don't look real bad. 8 3/4 rear end, sway bars look salvageable as well as k-frame and the hood and trunk lid look good as well as some misc parts under the hood. Side glass and back glass look good too. So, if you didn't pay a whole lot for it you may be able to recoup some funds selling off what you don't need.
 
Thanks, the hope is I can 1:1 swap pieces and keep this car relatively complete as it is.

I am taking all the side and rear glass for my car.
Swapping the complete doors to my car.
Also taking the hood. (my current hood has hood pins - don't like them)
The best part to my is the Dash gauge cluster, the radio and heat controls are missing in my car.

I hope I can get it started, the thing looks like it could be made to run. It ran about a year and a half ago (so says the owner).
 
Would you be willing to sell the hood with the hood pin holes.
