After fifteen years of not having the money, the time, the resources, or the access to her, my late father's '70 Roadrunner has been unearthed and is washed and waiting for me to return to her, and finish what Dad started....
Originally a 383 auto car with a blue bench interior. However, Dad wanted a hot-rod, not some perfectly restored gutless piece of s**t (no offense, but his idea was to change tires more often than filling the gas tank), and he dropped in a 440 Supercommando. The original 383 went to scrap a few years ago. Either way, the engine was toast as I recall.
My plan is to go through the 440 once more (sat for 15 years covered and in-doors with no attention whatsoever, will need seals and gaskets and such at the very least), toss on a 4-barrel for now but eventually drop a 6-pack on, give her a very detailed and proper body job.... Paint will be B7 blue, black trunk graphic and hood stripe, Roadrunner/no dust trail stripe, and a black interior sporting buckets...
Please send donations to my PayPal account. ;)
.... Anyone wanna buy a '76 Duster? ;)
Being stuck in Afghanistan, I can't get any more pics myself, but I've told my sis to get me more pics.
