Hi,

is your 70 Ply a RR?
If so have you painted the rear panel black because you like it? Or is it a GTX missing a lot of trim?

I do have a '70 GTX, but this one is a Road Runner... I bought the car about 22 years ago, and the majority of the rear panel was already repainted flat black. I had an extra set of GTX tail lights and repainted the outer ring of the panel the original orange, and the deepest inset I painted gloss black being the same area as the black area on a GTX.

it wasn't original so I asked. I really like EK2, too more than EV2. Once had a 70 RR in EK2, too.
RIght now I only have a 70 GTX in FC7
 
I thought the green ones had some preservative in the paint. that Coronet looks like a Michigan car for sure.

BARN FIND... without the barn 70 RR
Word of mouth led me to this 70 Road Runner near me. Complete car minus engine and trans. Looks to have been a 383 auto column. RM21

It looks like it's been sitting for there for a long time. The rust I could see is typical and less then average for these cars. It was a vinyl top car which explanes the rust in the C piller and rear window frame. 1/4's not to bad, fenders and under hood area looked good.
I didn't open the doors but could view the interior through the vent glass. No visiable daylight in the floors and dash and seats looked pretty good and original. Don't know about the trunk floor.

I was told the asking price was $4500.00.... Probably some wiggle room there.

Well...... I loaded the Runner onto a westbound transporter this morning.... On it's way to a proud and excited new owner. He plans to start a rotissery restro soon as it arrives.

He's a young fellow .... lots of energy...LOL. He already has taken delivery of a bunch of the parts needed for the project. I asked him to keep me updated on the progress....
 
I didn't think this one was going to sit to long. I know where there's a good deal to be had on a 70 Satellite that was being cloned into a RR including an Air Grabber hood that's complete. This car is virtually ready for paint and is just missing the big block running gear. Let me know if anybody's interested.

I told a good friend of mine about this car right after I found it. He regretted selling his 69 orange 69 Super Bee a couple years ago and I thought he would be interested in this one. He dragged his feet.... I didn't.
He volunteered his trailer and a helping hand to pick the car up and move it after I had sold it. When he saw the car his jaw dropped and I could see the "butt kicking" machine kick in.
Point is..... He may be interested in the car you mentioned.... Got any more info.....?

 
Send me a pm with your email and I'll forward you some pics and the guys contact info.

There was a very interesting turn of events with this car..... The windshield was cracked and delaminated and it made the VIN hard to read. Add to that a small scratch across the dash VIN tag made the 5th digit appear to be a "N", (383), as I was told by the fellow I got the car from. Once the windshield was removed it became evedent that the code was a "U".... An original 440 4bbl A/C car....!!!

In addition Chrysler historical shows the car was built for either an executive or for inhouse purposes..... It was never delivered to a dealer..... Wish it could talk....

 
Wish I had the skills some of you guys do........it's a lot easier making the car you want vs trying to find it

Thanks for that .. I've been looking forward to that update
 
Galen's book shows 1 known U code RR for 1970....
 
Was just thinking the same, this was at least no officially available powertrain option for a RR.
