Saw this on CL, 1969 Hemi Roadrunner! Looks nice but....

I saw this 69 Hemi Roadrunner on CL, It looks nice, but one has to wonder what happened to the transmission and rear end on a car that only has 23K miles.

Looks nice an clean, but the green on green combo is a damn shame.

The engine may be original to the car, but it's been touched. Ma Mopar painted her aluminum intakes, didn't leave them to corrode like Chevy did. As for the rest of the drivetrain, I'm sure quite a number of original torqueflites were replaced under warrantee. It's too bad it needed repainting with low miles and decades of storage...

 

[Moparsmitty]

It's a nice RR, but if I'm buying it for that kind of $ it has to be all original, but that's just me.

 

[Budnicks]

RM21 nice car, but not in/on my budget thou...

I don't mind the green on green either...
at-least it's a bucket seats & console car

"It's a Hemi"

 

[mmissile]

Probably an old racecar. Green is fine.

 

[GetX'd]

Looks pretty sweet to me. I'm a Hemi lover myself. The green on green looks nice - but a bit pedestrian for a Hemi and a car of that price. I guess I'm looking for something a bit more nasty looking.

 

[NOSTRT980]

why only a 120 mph speedo?

 

[mmissile]

What they have. Same as my car.

 

[super-bee_ski]

Cool car but I think asking price is high
I would put this car at $55K
1. Its a number 3 to 4 on the body
2. Collectability? "C"
3. Needs work, so it eliminates the "High Dollar" figure

 

[ma mopar nutz]

Yup just another dreamer who has no idea what the car is really worth!! Could of got a 68' hemi 4 gear RR at mecuim this spring that was 100% original 26k milage car for 60k and it was red just another example of how people see a 1of2 hemi cuda go for a million and think theirs has to be worth that much to SMH:eusa_naughty:

LOL...

I'll buy Hemi Road Runners in this shape all day for $55K

1. That would be a rust bucket missing a lot of pieces. No worse than a 2 on this one.
2. '69 Hemi RR's a C???????????? They're one of the most desirable B bodies out there.
3. 95K a 'high dollar figure'? Far from it........ From where I sit, 95K is fairly realistic.

 

[mmissile]

Gotta laugh, also.

 

[Richard Cranium]

It's got the wrong Air Grabber for a hemi; no indentation for the master cylinder.

 

[bigmanjbmopar]

$95k ouch

 

[eldubb440]

dont show me the trunk mat, show me what is under it

 

[Basket case]

beautiful car, but that's a crappy looking trunk lid emblem...way outta my league anyway.

 

[GetX'd]

I wouldn't argue that $55 is too low. But I wouldn't argue that $95 is too high. For $95 I think you have to be pristine plus. It's a nice car. Sure would like to own it.

BUT; it is always a great debate mmissile and 69coronetrt (Whom I have much respect for...)

Asking price is one thing, selling price is another.

Simple answer to that: The car was actually used as intended; i.e. thrashed to within an inch of its' life by the original owner, who broke parts, the way God intended. The car was parked, then brought back to life. Easy.
