That car deserves an over-the-top restoration. If you're not going to do it...sell it to someone who will.

Thats a heck of a car. Pretty wild thinking its been that close to you for that amount of time.

Was there blue paint on the harness hold down on the inner fender?

Any plans running through your head with what your going to do with it?

Wow
I thought it was gonna be a typical terd from my first couple minutes of conversation with you , Now I understand.. It is no terd
If that car was from NY it would have been worth what I stated , because it would have been a rust bucket. I always wished I grew up in PA instead of NY .. Dam... Any NY car Ive ever found always needs trunk extension, floors, etc. etc .

Who cares what it cost , that car will be in a magazine when and if you restore it, it is LOADED .. It qualifies for a page in MCG as it sits .

I cant imagine this being a candidate for a FAST car . It will be the coolest cruiser ever.
But I guess it wouldnt take much for it to go 1151
with a stroker.



Lucky DOg ..



Thanks for long awaited pics..

Any Anticpated schedule for resto .. Or AFTER the Heemi install in the BEE ?
Someones gotta figure out how to get these things into 10.30's without nitrous. There just so hevvy
I guess that MIGHT require a cage for two or more runs . Maybe 1150 is fast enuff for fun

Ok I gotta get back to work on my Junk.
I know its got 71 markers , but its a 72
Its a little further along now , this one eye BS
is killing me ..

You should bring it to Carlisle just the way it is.

That's normal for a 71-72 U-code car.

Great car..Glad to see one go to the good guys...

Too bad it wasnt the original 6BBL car...It would account for the lost one of the only two ever built in 72...


1972 Road Runner / GTX 440 4spd Dana 3.54 Just about to turn 26K original miles..

A boat, a GMC truck, some Craftsman Tools, LOTS of Zombie Protection, and a few Goldfish..

If you love someone set them free..
If they come back it means nobody else wanted them either..!!

Thanks for all your best wishes guys

As for what am I going to do with it... I'll wipe all the overspray out of the jambs, scrub up the engine compartment, respray the car in enamel, new top and seat covers, correct wheels and tires, hang some new exhaust, and get the bumpers done. The engine will get resealed where needed. Probably replace the valve seals, can't imagine they could still be soft. Same for the trans. I don't see any reason to rip it all apart. I think it is special just the way it is.

All that being said,I'll have to take it to the dragstrip a few times because I will just have to know what a 40,000 mile 440 4bbl is worth.


That Carlisle deal would be cool but there is no way I'll be able keep my hands off it till then.

Fascinating pictures, looks a bit like mine did, only yours has a ton more of its original parts. Congrats on the find. Satellite body side moldings are a trip.
