Been looking for a nice, original '69 Road Runner since the restoration of my '68 is done.
Wanted a 4-speed car that didn't need too much work.
A Q&A here with "hotairballoonpilot" Corey a few months back led to me hauling out to SD with a buddy to bring this home.
I'm stoked about the car:
17,000 original miles, 3 owners who all knew each other, extremely original & stock, except for some engine work when new for a brief career in F/Stock.
Numbers, codes, original markings, etc, and as tight & snappy as it should be.
It's a freakin' time capsule that just needs a little cleaning & detailing. Not gonna repaint/replate anything, just put its original valve covers back on..
Had to step up, but I'm OK with that to be 18 again
There's a wheel & tire decision to be made, haven't settled on that yet.
