A body guy here. Looking at a 71 Road Runner with the vin in the title. Can anyone tell me what I’m looking at?

Thank you.
So the H designates 340 that year?
What letter for 383 that year?

What other engines were available in a Road Runner that year?

Yes, H is for 340
N = 383
V = 440 6 pack
R = 426 Hemi

Fixed it

 

[It’s just me]

Yes, H is for 340
H = 383

Typo, N=383

There is a lot of repetition of the same common 'errors' and misunderstandings in that link. It could use some proofreading and fact checking for accuracy and clarification.

A more complete reference of options and pricing may be the actual factory books from 1971 in the Hamtramck Historical library.

Thanks a million to all you guy, wish I had that kind of money.

This car is rough, engine and trans missing. Low option car from glance, hardly even a parts car. It’s at the salvage yard and they got it late Friday so it’s not inventoried yet. I’ll see it Tuesday, post pictures and price if pass on it.

I was not endorsing that link in anyway, rather pointing out at most of the information needed to make a decision is already online many times over.

A picture of the fender tag would help us help you. Maybe the tag is still in place, maybe not.

Also, there is this thread:
