Hello Mopar Enthusiasts!

My screen name is Burt36b. I am a Mopar fan. I have a 2001 Dodge Dakota and plan to locate a 1971 Roadrunner to restore. My first car was a 1971 Roadrunner 383 Magnum with manual drum brakes and a 727 torque flight automatic. The body of the car had more dents than you could shake a stick at and the previous owner took it over a curb. I replaced the K member with one from a junk yard. Minimum wage was about $3.10 back then. Now that I am able to afford to restore a car, I would like to purchase a 1971. This time I plan to install power disc brakes, electronic ignition, air conditioning, and a better radio. I plan to drive this thing around a lot! I also owned a 1970 Challenger I had bought with no engine or transmission. I did paint that car Hemi orange and transplanted a 383 into that car from a station wagon. I recently started a new job with a manager that is also a Mopar fan. I think that is what got me the job.


Cheers,

Burt36b
 
Welcome to the board! Good luck with your future project, I've always wanted a 71 myself....I have a 69 right now.
 
Welcome aboard! Lots of experience & expertise here. I had looked for a 71 'Runner/Satellite before I bought my current '66 Satellite, but didn't find a '71. As it turned out the '66 I found was set up the way I wanted it so that's what I got. Good luck with your project.
