RR

[bluefury361]

[h=2]BARN FIND... without the barn 70 RR[/h]I know....I know...... It's a B body.... Some of you guys like these though.

Word of mouth led me to this 70 Road Runner near me. Complete car minus engine and trans. Looks to have been a 383 auto column. RM21

I knocked on the door but no answer. I took these pictures but didn't dig to deep without permission.
It looks like it's been sitting for there for a long time. The rust I could see is typical and less then average for these cars. It was a vinyl top car which explanes the rust in the C piller and rear window frame. 1/4's not to bad, fenders and under hood area looked good.
I didn't open the doors but could view the interior through the vent glass. No visiable daylight in the floors and dash and seats looked pretty good and original. Don't know about the trunk floor.

I was told the asking price was $4500.00.... Probably some wiggle room there.
If anyone is interested I'll follow up. Located in Birmingham Alabama area.

Oh stop it, Will. There's nothing left. It's not even worth the gas money to drag it to the crusher. Even the VIN is rusted beyond use.

About the RR...it wishes it would have been in a barn but I appreciate it, I kinda like to see them when they're rusty. Not too far gone to be saved and not hiding anything.

I agree it can be saved. More of a project than I would take on.

Not too far gone to be saved

It's so far gone beyond saving you couldn't accumulate enough metal out of it to make a coffee can.

Thank you. Trying to make Gillian feel welcome. I'll shave it after she becomes accustomed to us.

I knew that's what you were up to...so nurturing!

Still selling faster and for a higher price than a rock solid favorite color C-body I believe.

So were smarter than they are

 

[cm23uoc]

Smarter yes; we'd keep our hands away from it all if we were actually smart.

I went back for a good look and was supprised to find the floor pans, inner 1/4's, trunk floor and frame rails to be solid.... Just a little surface rust.
The factory code for the "Go wing" in on the tag, (very rare), as well as rocker moldings, hood pins and A/C. To bad the original 383 and trans are missing.

Another thing..... It matches Stans hair.....:icon_geek:

Price is a little high and it's a little far otherwise that'd be right up my alley, atleast you can flip through a catalog and order body parts for it.

I've restored worse and have one in my shop that is much worse but have every piece of metal needed to return it to rust free. If I don't do it someone will.

the firewall is not a weak point on the 68-70 B-bodys. Only the 71&up models have major rust issues there often or the cowl problems of early B-bodys.

This RR will survive, factory EV2 car, unfortunatly fender tag is full of dirt and not completly readable on the picture. If it is a factory J81 rear spoiler car it is somewhat later built as the spoiler got introduced during the model year.4500$ sounds reasonable
