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.

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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9KPwIkIaVc

Is that the numbers matching eng.block. 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.

Had a very similar dent in my door, good work. Thx, that one was pretty easy to do. The rear window area is the one that will require a lot of work. Waiting to get the car on the rotisserie before I start that job.

I don't believe that the side mirror was original. It is supposed to be the chrome sport mirror. I've never seen that type on that year, only the sport type. Don't know if there was an interchangeable one that would fit

[quote=jbojo]Now only if I can figure how to remove the pin at the steering box so that I can get the column out. Heat it up with a blow torch, lube and pound it out with a punch!

I've always used a 1/4" bolt about 3-4" long as a drift, and allot of pounding and it will fall out. I use a disk brake caliper pin

Not much to report, mostly sourcing parts that I need.
** I got the steering column out and tomorrow I will be boxing it up to get it restored. ** Sending the Power Brake booster to Dewey's for rebuild ** Steering gear box going to firm feel. ** Ordered all the interior parts from Legendary ** The dash paint is coming from Instrument Specialties. ** Wiper motor is getting restored. PO had put an C body motor in at some point so I was able to get the correct variable speed motor and it is being rebuilt.
After I get everything boxed up I will be repairing the steering wheel. This weekend is supposed to be in the 100's and it's just too hot to work in the garage so I don't think much will get accomplished.

I really love your Roadrunner and it is great to see it get the resto it deserves. I was looking at your firewall pics and Detroit Muscle Technologies are now making a very nice firewall insulation piece. Much improved over there original one they came out with. Looking forward to watching this thread. Good Luck! Thx, Yeah I have been looking at the DMT parts and was thinking about their Mega Kit. I am hoping to have this back on the road by the end of next summer. I'll try to keep this thread updated every week. Got the column boxed up so I can ship it out on Monday.

Great job on your steering wheel! What did you do to replicate the texture? Thanks Pat I would also like to know what you did to replicate the texture of the wheel once sanded down? Thank you, Matt

Where did you get your parts plated? There's not many places that do that stuff anymore.

Been working on the dash and I used PPG Duracryl Black Suede for the finish. After I cleaned the the dash I laid down some Acrylic primer and followed it with 6 coats of the Black Suede. It's beginning to look like a dash again but I need to send out the guage cluster for restore. I would like some suggestions for where/who I should have this done by. Thx Sent my gauge cluster out to Auto Instruments. Waiting for it to come back. No complaints yet. Will let you know how the cluster turns out if you want.

They told me about a 3 month turnaround time. Did they give you a quote on cost yet? thx

Nice, I never get into this forum, but stumbled upon it tonight looking for vacuum hose diagrams from my 71 air grabber. If you have the trim on top of the doors-- Cant remember what they are called, they go right by the mirrors. Good luck finding the clips that hold them on. I have been waiting for r.t. specialties to make some for two years.. Same color car.. as mine.. 71 gtx.
