1969 Roadrunner first start in 30 years

its as rusty underneath as my Fury is.

I do not trust a battery operated impact any farther than I can throw it. The base for the air grabber is a really tough find. All in all this does not look like that bad of a car if the underside is still solid, probably a big if. Will take a bunch of work to make road worthy, but given the value of these cars it will be worth the effort.

Saw a glimpse of the underneath early in the video. It’s as rusty as the one on my Fury, which is fairly bad.

I thought it looked like a fun car.

Is that grabber one of the intakes that has the toggle switch to open up?

I think that style grabber ran all the time. The later 6 pack air grabber had the switch.

BTW, every HVAC guy I know has one of those cordless impact drivers. They love them and I guess for sheet metal screws they are ok-not for putting a car together with.

Even rusted up it's probably worth $25k.

Amazing that different sheet metal (C-Body) and it wouldn't fetch $2500.

ahh that AG base aint too hard to find, fairly common used or repro. Looks like a $20k max beater.
