Was lucky enough to find a 71 Roadrunner V code car with a 4spd and Super Drag pac option. Just starting the restoration and hoping to use this forum to document the build and help finding needed parts. Its been sitting since 1990 in the AZ sun so the interior is pretty destroyed. Here is a link to a few pics.

It has the 3 spoke round center steering wheel. The car seemed to be optioned with the bare minimum, appears that it was going to be used for drags or something like that. It has air Grabber, PS, AM radio, canopy vinyl roof and the Super Drag Pac options. AZ heat has torn up the interior so that will need to be all replaced. Color is Curious Yellow with standard black interior and bench seats.

1969 and 1971 are my two favorite year Roadrunners. Good catch.

Looks like a great 'runner, but what the heck... I've lived in Az.
since 1971 and I never even heard a rumor of this car. What part of the state did it come from and how did you hear about it??

It is in the Phoenix area. I will be picking it up in May to start the restoration. A friend was going to restore but never got around to it.

Just got done with my Mustang from AZ.

The motor is just about done now. It was bored .030 over and kept mainly stock as far as the specs are concerned. Did use the Comp Cams Nostalgia Plus™ PP280H; 2000 - 6000 RPM Range cam though. Ran the motor to break in the cam with a 4v carb and will put on the 6 pack intake and carbs when the motor goes back in.

Unfortunately not. The car is a low mileage one that was used in 1/8 mile drags and was geared in the 5.xx range for the rear. Motor was blown long ago. Luckily the original tranny and Dana 60 was kept however they slapped a 360 and auto tranny into it but they left the clutch pedals in. I did manage to get a period correct HP motor 6 pack (1970 block) to put back in it. It's as close as I can get it. I don't plan to sell it so I ok with that. It will be built back to the way it was for 71.

Neat car, my favorite combo on a 71 RR. GY3 yellow on black with a 4 speed. 340, 440+6, or a Hemi, love all 3.

Update on the motor progress. Started it up and broke in the camshaft with a 4V carb and now fitting up the accessories. When the motor is in the car I will get the 6 pack pieces in.
