1970 Road Runner

Check the body over real good. I bought a Challenger that LOOKED GOOD, but had some "not so good" bodywork under the paint.... But it is much better now.


Make sure that there is good sheet metal. Check to see if floorboards and trunk floor have been worked on. If so, Were they replaced or just "patched over" (you can tell by looking for the original ribs in the floor pans).


Does it have the "air grabber" hood scoop. A huge hood scoop that is vacuum operated by a switch inside to make it pop up when you want it to. Very cool option.

Does it have the purple "beep-beep" voice of Roadrunner horn? It sounds like Roadrunner from Looney Tunes cartoons.

I see that it is an automatic. Is it column shift or console?

There was an optional "ralley dash" cluster that came with a 150 MPH speedometer and a tachometer/clock combo (called the Tic-Toc-Tach). Like I said, it was optional, not every car came with one.

There was a decal for that year where it had Roadrunner running on the front fender and a cloud of smoke all the way to the scoop on the rear quarter panel.


Why does the front end sit higher than the rear? I prefer the rear higher than the front.
