We recently removed this Road Runner from dry indoor storage where it has been for the better part of the last 10 years. The owners growing family and work commitments have left him no time to enjoy the car.  

With a bit of work. including. refreshing the carburetors. resealing the intake manifold. and changing all of the fluids. this gem came to life. Equipped with long tube headers. it has its original 383 engine. which a previous owner added an intake setup from a 440 6 Pack. all topped with the very rare Air Grabber hood. The exhaust system has been replaced with a cleanly built dual exhaust from the headers back. with an H pipe and finished off with the correct original tailpipes.  

Judging by the tone of the idle. we venture that the camshaft was swapped to something a bit more aggressive as it has a nice lumpy idle. The bottom of the car is very dry and doesn't leave any oil spots.  

 

Below are the details of the fender tag. to aid in deciphering what is stamped on the tag in the photo:

The exterior of this car was redone by the previous owner. we estimate 12+ years ago. It still shines brightly with a lot of gloss. but does have some blistering of the paint on the upper portions of the rear quarter panels. This appears to be a separation of the paint from beneath. and is definitely not a situation of rust. The undercarriage and floors are solid. clean and dry. never repaired and are not in need of any patching or repair work.  

The interior of the car sports the original white vinyl seat upholstery. without any tears or split seams. The dash has one small crack above the glove box. door panels are original and clean with good armrests!

As pictured. the paint inside the trunk and rear quarter is the original speckle finish. There are two small dents. one at the right side door joint below the handle and one at the left front corner. Both of these are pictured for reference.
The stripe on the side is the magic artistry of someone with an airbrush paint gun. accented with the correct Road Runner decal.  The car is equipped with the proper “Beep Beep” horn!

Mileage as indicated is original and according to the previous owner. the car spent the majority of it's life in a garage.  

As this car was removed from storage during winter here in New England we have not had the opportunity to drive the car other than in our driveway. It shifts solidly from 1st to second. however reverse is a bit sluggish to engage. and an adjustment of the shift band should resolve this.
