I picked up this project in Nevada. It seems that the long time owner decided to get the car restored and as costs kept on adding up, he had the shop reassemble the car as a roller and that is how I picked it up. Original Los Angeles built car with original fender tag and dash tag. All original sheet metal and rust free original California car. Original drivetrain U code, four speed, 3.54 dana with original 15x7 rallyes and 450 spare, p/s, pdb. I will be using the original wood grain on the dash, the interior parts are in very good shape, AM radio, buckets, six way, tick toc tach, tinted glass and light group with the turn signals in the air grabber hood. B5 Blue with black vinyl top and interior and white stripes (V6W) and chrome tips out back. It's really a nice unmolested car. I am hoping that it will be in paint soon.

I always liked the looks of the 1970 Road Runner/ GTX. Looks like you have a very well-equipped and solid car. I'm looking forward to following your build.

Looking good! Great to see a 450 wheel/Polyglas GT being used as a roller!
