Lost 1974 Road Runner - Big Long Shot

[1974 RoadRunner]

We have figured out a few more things about the car, well mainly just getting more info from my parents. No luck with a VIN yet but I have many craigslist ads running in WA and OR as well as facebook shares etc. I have set up a quick website at www.Lost1974RoadRunner.com which will have the latest info and pictures and hopefully a VIN soon. I have also started working on a new registry website. Hopefully I can help out other people as well so the website will have info and VIN's/info on all 1968-74 RoadRunners that people send me. I will create their own pages with pictures, info and video links. I hope it doesn't get too crazy as I have multiple businesses to run but cars are my life and hopefully not only would I be able to find my own car, but help someone else in a similar situation. The new website will be up in the upcoming month probably at www.PlymouthRoadRunnerRegistry.com

Just a thought, but if your late uncle had a will, there may be a paper trail on the car at your local courthouse. An executor of the estate would have to list something like that.​

He had just turned 20 years old so no will. My mom thought about it potentially being in their divorce paperwork. My dad doesn't think it was but it's worth a shot so we are going to try to find out how to go about getting a copy today. Thank you for your input.

I answered your Craigslist ad, I will be going down to my in-laws this weekend to pick up my wheels, and get the vin of his crashed RR.

Thanks. You can PM me the VIN. I have been so busy that I haven't even started on the registry website. I have multiple businesses that take precedence over these projects.

Thank you. Is he interested in selling it? Price? If I can’t find my car I may be interested in buying a different one.

Thank you

Good luck in your quest I have a 74 roadrunner 360 auto

 

[BlooDSMeaR]

He wants to get his fixed, however I have a 73 that is almost put back together with a monster 408 in it. Body is solid and paint is a old 10' job. Interior is complete but needs good carpet, and seats reskinned. Im $13.5K in the motor, tires, transmission, complete suspension and brake rebuild.

Here is a pic of it nice and clean and buffed, like I said it does not have the best of paint jobs. But passes as decent.

Looks great. Is your father-in-law open to selling his? I am working with a local company and we are going to talk on Tuesday about starting to make repro parts for the '73-73 RoadRunner since there doesn't seem to be anyone out there doing them yet. I am also looking at maybe doing carbon fiber hood, fenders and front panel so people can buy brand new rust free parts and get the added benefit of weight savings!

 

[Jeff J]

I know I had to fabricate a lot of parts when I restored my 74 , there’s not a lot of offering for body parts for 74 yet but hopefully in the future there will be.

Thank you. I am working with a writer that is going to do a story on this search that should come out in a few months on a very big, well know site so hopefully things will move along.

I spent Thursday and Friday being interviewed about the search for this car and it will air in the next month or two. Here are a few more images we found going through my uncle’s things. Hopefully someone will recognize the car.
