After 3 Months of Waiting on an abandoned Title for the 74 Roadrunner, (although Title Says Satelite on it, is that normal??) We got her loaded and delivered on Saturday. Only rust that goes completely through is in front of the Rear Passenger wheel and it's a small spot, the rest of it is just surface rust. Popped the hood and most of the parts have been removed from the motor, but they are in the back seat. Gonna Pull the Front Wheels today and see what's causing them to Lock up, and see how bad the Rotors, and Calipers are.

Planning on Taking the 318 out of my 88 Ramcharger and dropping that in there, and the 727 out of my 89 D350 and dropping that in there. She was abandoned on this guys place for about 3 yrs before I finally got a hold of him and bought it for 500 bucks.

I would not think so, although maybe your state has a "glitch" in the title options.

Idaho had a glitch that I talked "the girls" into correcting, on my Honda CT-90. The title had said "motorbike". Now, I know most people think that sounds fine, but that word as opposed to "motorcycle" is very important, as the former means "trail bike" and not a "street bike." Since a CT-90 IS and was always manufactured to be a licensed, streetable "motorcycle" that word on the title became very important.
 
Looks like a good project, and for 500.00 you can't go to wrong. Although I think that car is begging for a bog block...
 
That's me with the Atomic Back Pack on, I just had Back surgery not to long ago and still have to wear a back brace here and there on occasion. Soooooooooooo Looking forward to working on this.

Not sure how the title thing works here in south dakota. So long as I have title for it that's all that matters right LOL.

I'd love to put a big block in it but Funds are really limited, Paycheck to paycheck life here. I have a Ramcharger with a 318 in it and a D350 with a 727 in it (with less than 1k miles on the tranny rebuild) that I am probably going to put in it. my other ramcharger has a 360 in it but needs a top end job on it real soon. the 318 Ramcharger purrrrrs like a kitten though.

Does anyone know what the little Cam Lock under the drivers side marker light is for???

Common place for an aftermarket alarm switch.
 
I'm curious to see what the axle tag says. Wonder it it's one of those 2.45 flat lander cars....

Haven't made it that far yet LOL.

Was looking around at the motor again today and everything (except the tranny) is disconnected and all ready for a motor pull, that will make my life easier LOL.

Pulled the Stamped number on the Housing (no tag anywhere on the rear end that I can find) and came up with 2852805 number, did a search and it's an 8 1/4, but not sure what gear ratio is on it. Any Clue how to find out???
