I have available for sale, a great opportunity for the right Mopar enthusiast. This Road Runner was completely disassembled with rotisserie paint and body work. High quality and well over a 100 pictures documenting every step of the process. Here's the story. There is always a story. :-) I had been looking for a nice driver, 4 speed 73 Roadrunner. Heck, my first car was a 73, 400, automatic. I am an impatient and impulsive person. I had set a budget of $20,000. For 4 months I frantically searched and couldn't find the right car. Then, in a St Louis Craigslist Ad, was a primer black, 4 spd, 73 Bird for $6,900. Awesome & Honest Don sold me the car. He wasn't sure about it being matching #s, but was told by the previous owner, that it was. He was also told that the driveline including the 3.55 rear, was completely rebuilt but had no receipts. When we arrived to pick up the car the excitement began. Solid body, ALL ORIGINAL SHEET METAL and no accidents, fired right up with a nice cam, clutch was good and drove right up on the trailer. Primer black was everywhere but I could see evidence of the JF1 mist green factory color. This was the color of my first Bird. I thought wow, this is meant to be. I have the fender tag. We then verified the matching numbers on the engine and the 4spd. :-) I had a blast driving it just like it was for a few months. It hauls butt and will chirp the tires going into 4th gear. I decided to have this very deserving car restored. I have spent over $20,000 for paint, body, wet sand, buff and stripe install. Another nearly $14,000 was spent on the following; $1,859.00 Legendary Interiors ( Seat covers, door panels, carpet etc.$2,000.00 AMD (Lower inside 1/4s, door hinges and complete glass set)$ 800.00 M&H Reproduction Wiring Harnesses$ 900.00 Just Dashes (Pad)$ 425.00 Restored Dash Frame $1,000.00 Wheels and Tires$ 400.00 Pheonix Graphix Stripes$1,300.00 Summit Racing ( Moog suspension, engine parts etc.)$ 775.00 Re-Chrome extremely straight bumpers$ 789.00 Hurst shifter assembly and handle$ 500.00 Mint low mileage cluster$ 650.00 Restored Steering Column$ 615.00 AMS Obsolete ( Mirrors and bumper fillers)$ 743.00 Firestone Collectibles ( Washer bottle, shift boot, door handles. etc.)$ 995.00 Miscellaneous I have most of the receipts. Spend a few more dollars and months and you will definitely have the only one of its kind at your Mopar Show this spring. I have a lien on this car with my local credit union. Easy process, you can pay them directly. I have been doing business with them for 10 years and can provide you the Manager's name and telephone number.
