Anybody know the value or should I say WIW on a '74 roadrunner? 318 car w/a 3speed stick? no motor and has not been on the road in years. Everything else is there and will need typical quarter repair.

Just figure it as a restorable project?




Hard to say without pics, but sounds like a $500-1k car to me.




I believe you are in the ball park with that. The manual trans is a plus though...

I found a '73 Roadrunner 340 auto car that needs a fair bit of resto. Comes with an extra hood and it does have the numbers matching 340. I think his $3000 asking price is a little much though.

I like the '73/4's, but paying $3k and then having to fix it (me doing all the labor), I'd
be better off to get a running car that needs little work. My '70 Charger is already a money pit

Several years ago I helped restore this 74 360 runner for my younger brother, he still owns it and has become a big Mopar enthusiast.

If you really want to know why the myth that 1971 was the last year for musclecars keeps being perpetuated, then listen up. It's because the whole "musclecar" legend has been hijacked by early baby-boomers who think the only decade worth remembering is the 1960s. Anything built after 1970-71 is thought of as inferior to years previous, mainly because it doesn't fit in with memories of their youth. You guys, however, seem like me (a member of the "Jones" generation, or late baby-boomers), who know that any mid-seventies musclecar is just a camshaft and headers away from performing as well as any '60s musclecar, but with better handling, brakes and safety to boot! Bring on the seventies I say!

My 73 Sat is a big pile as far as I'm concerned but she runs good and will take a good hit esp with those monster bumpers. I like the room the car inside and fact that you can reach things under the hood. There are parts from a dozen cars on this one, but I keep it because I like it. I knew guys that bought two different 1973 Road runners one a 340 auto car and a 318 4spd this guy wanted a track pak but could not get it,so he ordered hd cooling and 3.55s as 3.91 were unavailable. So like them or hate the 73 74s I could care less, I like to race the big blue!. Top it off this morning I saw a new Mustang that was same color Petty blue B-3

This thread is still alive??? Ok then, more thoughts.........when I got my '73 I thought it would be cool because it was the last year of the 340, and that it had A/C and a 28" radiator. And also that it would look good next to a '71 Superbee someday..........priority's, you know...........anyway, the musclecar ship may have been sinking by '73, but the Roadrunner looked better than a Chevelle or a Mustang for that year.........

Here is my resto-mod 73 RR. Couldn't get fenders or QPs so it's all new fabricated sheet metal, with a little more flare in the back. Despite the modern Inferno Red color change I still get the occasional Starsky and Hutch Car comment or question. However, I get some "beep beeps" on the road so that's a good sign. I liked seeing all the other ones alive and well posted in this thread. Thanks guys!

Here's a 73 factory sunroof car.... I'm in the final stages of tuning...Used a 4:10 8 3/4 e-body rear with super stock springs...The 10 inch rims and 28 inch tall tire fit nicely...Gives a great look from the back..

That is shweeeet. Mine is black w/white graphics as well, but has a black half-vinyl top.

You would not beleive the hassle it was for me to post this pic. I read Wild Bills "how to" in the tech archive. The previous attempts I had picked the wrong box on PhotoBucket. I hope this works. Anyhoo, just wanted to post a pic of my ride. There are a lot of sweet rides on this thread.
