New guy to mopar

[DJD]

HELLO,
My name is Dennis and I live in eastern Oregon. I enjoy working on and restoring cars all my life. I just picked up a 1970 Roadrunner and have a few questions. Looks like this is the place to learn.

 

[Dennis H]

Welcome. Pictures required.

 

[C_stripes]

Here is how I found it.

Wow!!! Looks pretty nice. Is that an Air Grabber? 4spd car?

Hi Dennis, it looks like a good start! Welcome...:wav:

 

[poopdeckpappy]

Me likey! Whats the interior look like?

 

[Hemi Rebel]

Welcome to the outrageously expensive hobby of restoring old Mopars!!

Good eye. The car has been outside here for 10 years. A couple guys here in town painted the car quite some time before that. They are known for being able to sculpt a whole fender just with body filler. That concerns me.
The car is originally yellow. 383 with a 833 4 speed and Dana 60 rear. hood package and air grabber. Interior looks stock.

[DJD]

Interior.

Interesting, I have a red air grabber switch, yours is black. Is it from a later year?

 

[khryslerkid]

Welcome Dennis! Nice find. Hate to see a car like that sitting outside. Looking forward to seeing you bring it back to where it should be...

Welcome from Minnesota Dennis....gotta love a yellow 4 speed Roadrunner. :headbang:

 

[Car Nut]

aboard!

 

[DJD]

Now I want to determine what I have.
Vin is RM23NOG161xxx = 1970 Ply 2H Roadrunner.
Engine numbers below Dist are E 383 and below that 6 30
engine Cast numbers 2468130 12
All looks good until I look at the number stamp on the passenger side just behind the motor mount. It is 9A306094. Whats that??

Welcome aboard. Looks like a very decent car. What are you thinking of doing with it. Restore, hot rod, restomod?
