New Project: 1971 Roadrunner, Loaded with options!

[FranksCoronet]

Hey all,

Wanted to share some pictures of my new project! It's a 1971 RR, originally a 383 auto. Its loaded with just about every appearance package you could get on a '71 including front and rear spoilers, white stripe, hood package, half vinyl top, and the bumper black outs. It also has a factory tach, bucket seats, and a cassette recorder! I'm looking forward to getting this thing back on the road, I'm 24 and its my first big project (currently storing it in a friend's shop). I picked up a 440 this week that might be getting dropped into it for the time being. Besides that, it needs a roof, quarters, floor, and trunk (I have some of the metal already). If anyone in the northeast has some parts for a 71, let me know! It's pretty complete but some straight (at least less dented) fenders would be a nice start.

It was posted here a while ago, its been through at least 3 owners since then: FOR SALE - 1971 Plymouth Road Runner, loaded project

Good luck with your project! My 72 will have the same color scheme when done, less the interior. Here's some inspiration for you

Fenders and doors are not repop....come to think of it neither are hoods or trunk lids.
Looks like a good project - best of luck with it.
Ask questions - we are here to help....

Sweet, my favorite year for roadrunners. When are you getting started on it?

I'm hoping to get it in for body work this Spring. In the mean time, I'm gathering parts and hoping to get the 440 dropped in and running so we can move it around

Ohh yes, another ‘71!! I have some parts leftover from my project that I think I wont need. Are you doing the bodywork?

I'm going to pay someone I know to do it. I wish I knew how!

Great project. I like the Blue on Blue. I have a 71 SSP B-5 with white Canopy top and B-5 interior and a 72 RR/GTX Air Grabber Basin Street Blue with B-5 interior. I Have a bunch of Plymouths parts when you figure out what you need send me a PM.
