Found a project car- pretty far gone…
Things have been a bit crazy & Im living in PA full time now, but I haven’t closed. So we’re staying in an AirBnB up in the Poconos and I’m commuting to work until we close on the new house.
Way off the beaten path I found what I believe is a 69 Plymouth Road Runner 383 4 speed car- very basic, No AC, no power brakes, etc. Needs a bunch of body work, a bunch. But everything is there.
The last thing I need a something to take my time but this thing is “for sale” with a phone number and I think I’m inclined to call.
Maybe I get a new money pit for the next few years with the boys.
Overall- w/o knowing if it runs or drives I’d call it a 4/10.
The “good”:
The Bad:
The Ugly:
The lack of air cleaner had the Holly stuffed right up against the hood. Which could be the intake or it could mean maybe there’s a 440 sitting in there but at tire kicking distance it’s tough to know.

Great find
So many people searching for such cars
My 2 cents I will wager you could flip it if and make money if it's too big a project to take on based your time
If you can do the work your self even better and would be a great project
if hired out its cheaper to buy one already done being honest

I see lots of potential, with a decent base to start with…..

I wonder what the vise grips are doing?

Don't get better than that today. Flat machined square behind the thermostat housing would make that a 440.

I wonder what the vise grips are doing?
they look new based on the thumb screw so not been there long ? I will guess breaking a brake like loose
another trend just get it road worthy like brakes tires and safety issues and drive as found as in barn find
very popular as still a head turner classic with out spending 10 or 20K in doing it as a nice driver or 50k + to
restore it
drive it as you tinker with it pick a problem for a weekend like a fixing a panel or similar untill its done and still drive it
like the old days when us kids only had limited funds and time to fix our cars ( at least me now older I still no funds but have time now )
