#s matching motor and transmission. I found this Road Runner at a
show, and it talked to me. It is just such a good looking car that
sits proud, fits right and functions like it should. Claimed to
have original 34,785 miles.
EXTERIOR: Everything about this exterior is spot on! The body is
absolutely straight and fits right. Believed to be original rust
free metal. The doors shut like new. Repainted Hemi Orange without
a vinyl top, very sharp. The paint is polished like a mirror and
the hood stripes are satin finish. The chrome and trim are shiny
and straight. The windshield is crystal clear. The stance is just
right and so are the wheels. They are new 15 inch chrome Magnum
wheels wearing BFG tires.
INTERIOR: It has a very tidy, fresh feeling inside. Looking at the
dash everything fits right, everything is clean. It has a factory
tachometer and the radio looks original but actually has modern
internals. The dash pad has been replaced, it has a new glovebox
liner and down on the floor is real nice carpet. The upholstery on
the seats and headrests have been replaced. It has a complete set
of original seat belts. The door panels look new, and the metal
trim is painted a gloss black. The rear shelf is clean and
straight, the headliner has been replaced.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This is a great looking engine apartment and at
the heart of it is the VIN number matching 383-335hp motor. It has
stock manifolds, air cleaner and even dated spark plug wires. It
features power steering which was rebuilt. The carb was rebuilt,
and the distributor is new. The pulleys, chrome alternator, wiper
motor, all look fresh. The squirters are hooked up, the Road Runner
horn works, the battery is properly secured. The entire engine bay
is painted beautifully like the car and has a new hood insulation.
It has the original fender tag attached and the hidden VIN number
on the core support matches the car.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted
glossy. Inside is rock solid metal painted orange. It has a
reproduction mat and weatherstrip. The spare is a painted rim with
a new BFG tire. It also has a complete jack assembly.
UNDERSIDE: It appears to be rock solid with its original metal and
factory undercoat. I'm looking at clean frame rails and floors that
have not been patched. The steering, suspension and brakes have
been serviced as needed and are all in good working order. The
shocks were replaced. It was inspected by our shop; we replaced the
idler arm. It has a recent dual exhaust system with the correct
chrome tips. The fuel tank has also been replaced. Looking up at
the motor it looks very fresh, starter is new. You can see the
casting codes and dates which are correct and then the actual VIN
number is stamped by the oil pan. The 727 Torqueflite was rebuilt
and has the matching VIN number stamped on it. The driveshaft was
rebuilt, and the rear end was serviced.
SERVICE: Our shop inspected the car, and we replaced the blower
resistor, wiper motor and idler arm. We had the tachometer
rebuilt.
This is not our most expensive car, but I admit I really do like
it. It's just right, it's what a Road Runner is supposed to be!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
