Hi All,

Thanks for the add and greetings from Washington state! Growing up my Dad/Grandpa owned a handful of classics that we used to enjoy/tinker with, go to shows, etc. Over the years, they eventually sold them all and I started saving up to eventually buy my own when the last one was finally gone.

Well....wife and kids got in the way (in a good way of course I am very blessed!) and after 8 years of stashing away funds here and there I'm on the hunt for a 71-72 Road runner. Although my family never had one, I would occasionally see them at car shows and thought they were the coolest looking cars! (Still do!). I will hopefully keep the hobby going in my family and pass to my kids one day.

Hoping to eventually find one (here or on Craigslist, marketplace, etc). I didn't just join for the classifieds though. I hope to learn a ton from previous posts on here and will most likely seek advice/help in the future when I finally find the right one!

Welcome and good luck with your search. Just place a wanted ad and hang on. There's cars around. You might want to search through the Mopars for sale forum for an ad that the car never sold.

Welcome!

There is a white on blue RR for sale in Yakima that I keep looking at (Facebook Marketplace). Yakima cars tend to be very light on rust and the engine is already rebuilt. 72 is a low production year and it still has the hard to find grill in it.

......you better get it before I do, because I'm slowly making space for it!

Thanks for the heads up. If I had more time that would be a good project. My kids are still young and take up a lot of my time, so looking for something turnkey. I tried to get over to the Satellite that was listed over in Vancouver last month, but someone got there a few days before I could!

Welcome from Alabama, sounds like a good hunt. Best of luck. I sold my 72 RR probably 6-7 years ago.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the add and greetings from sunny California! Growing up, my uncle had a collection of classic cars that we spent countless hours restoring and showing off at local car meets. When he passed, his collection was sold off, but my passion for classic cars only grew stronger.

Jack ;)

Good luck on the quest for a 71-72 RR
