Just saying hello to everyone. I purchased this car from a fellow that started rebuilding it in 92'. After purchasing it from a guy that moved to Washington State from Los Angeles with a huge collection of muscle cars, mostly Mopar. 4 original Hemi cars, several 440 Six Packs, a 340 Six Pack, 4 speed AAR Cuda plus two matching 56' Chrysler 300's, One an automatic, one a 4 speed which he put a 500 c.i. gen II Hemi in. This 69 RoadRunner was his 'parts' car, which he was eventually talked into selling to the previous owner. It is a factory A/C, power brake car with the 383 / 727 combo. The new owner pulled out the motor and transmission and sent it out to be rebuilt. He then sanded down the rust free car and shot it with some left over paint he had from a previous project. In 94' he had the car assembled just enough to be driveable so he could take it to a in-progress car show. After that, as often goes, life got in the way. It sat in his outbuilding for almost 21 years before I purchased it. He did start the car at least once a month. It needs a lot of work, i.e; new wiring, complete interior, new exhaust system, replace the A/C that was removed with a new unit, new brakes (it really hauls butt but is a little scary to stop. Since he didn't have enough paint to do a proper job, it probably will get a repaint. Also, my wife isn't keen on that green, which by the way, isn't a Mopar color but was for a 70' Rebel. I have a 440 Six Pack motor that I rebuilt to put in the 41 Dodge Custom Deluxe Coupe I'm also working on, but it may end up in the RoadRunner.
I'm just finishing up my dream shop. 2850 sq.ft, heated floors, two stall bathroom, 10K two post lift, 5 hp. 120 gallon air compressor, English wheel, planishing hammer, 20 ton press, bead roller, lockable tool crib with a craft room and canning kitchen for my lovely wife. 34 years together and she's still my best friend. I wanted a manual tranny car but she has had both knees replaced and can no longer drive a car with a clutch. I am planning on building a nice tourer, not a show car.
