Curious to know if there is any place to find out what was the last 71 Road Runner built at the St. Louis plant. I looked at the car a few weeks back a friend picked up for a quick flip and bought it from him. I just picked it up this mourning in the fog of course. It's a 71 383 Butterscotch Road Runner built 7/71. Just want to know more about it and if there is a way to find out if this would be worth someone(not me needs everything but all there) saving it or just cannibalize it for parts....

St. Louis "SCHEDULED" 1971 production at least until Friday 7/9/71
you would need a broadcast sheet to determine what day the car was being assembled & that still wouldn't tell you if it was the last one.
the highest St. Louis VIN I know of is 1G240874 (a GTX), the highest VIN RR 1G240812

1972 production was up & running before the end of the month of July, possibly by 7/15

Thanks Dan!! This car is about 3,000 before the Highest RR vin you have posted... That answers my question it's a great parts car.... They even put in a skid plate k-member so my guess is they were trying to get rid of them in the late production models...

sorry, I misread the numbers quoted so I deleted my useless information LOL

Interested in the K-frame your message box is full.

Parts like that will be for sale but not for awhile as I bought this as a map to put this car back together as it has been sitting apart for the last five years. It is a complete running driving car and don't need anymore push buggies laying around...

maybe you need this one to !!

Not far from what I got except this one needs the whole back half including door jambs and rockers....It is a Butterscotch car that was painted once and changed to GY8 which my car is so I guess it was meant to be.....

My friend kept the aluminum slots that were on it and put these low riders on.. On another note look what is laying under the rocker panel. It is the exhaust splice the previous owner put on came off during the travel luckily it stayed on and did not hit anyone that was following me for the 120mile trip...I am sure they got part of the quarters and wheelhouses....

can you share the numbers/tag pics? rear bumper guard is pretty rare

Very...

In the '71 GTX world:


Front bumper guard-14
Rear bumper guard-8
F&R bumper guards-154

Hi Dan sure here is the tag. I had that rear guard NOS and I sold it at the 2015 Carlisle show. I had a 72 Sebring with it also. I have all the parts to do this car also but don't need a project that big. I need to get my other car back together and what I have is a painted shell with a bunch of nuts, bolts and brackets that I don't no where they go anymore and if I do know where I don't know what bolts hold it on...

So I will say in advance Von/Vin only not shown because once on the internet if someone did fix it the trolls will say it's not the "real" car when it could be saved by someone who cares to do so and has $$$ for AMD. If I part it the title and Vin goes to the junkyard along with the carcass.

Yes it is
96 cars came with the M83 rear bumper guard option and 396 came with the M85 front and rear guards

not admitting the TRUTH about a car/specific VIN's prior condition is the problem
- not the fact that cars are "fixed"

Dan, I agree but NOT with the internet it doesn't work that way. That tag has already been copied with a note on it saying parted out and on someones computer for sure and the car is still a complete running driving numbers car(minus radiator and carb).... If it ever goes up for sale which I doubt there is no hiding it's condition as it's easily seen. Right now it's only purpose is to be a Map for my car and I will be taking all of the big block a/c components for my car too.

Neat car
Someone will want to fix it.
I have most of what it needs laying around.
Even a few k frames..

Oh and as far as condition.... Like I said it needs all rear sheet metal and doors and fenders. Hood and deck lid are actually perfect. I don't know how that happened..

Far cry from my original quarters....

That seems to be the norm around here..lol

I agree, should be saved

Our 71 is an RM23N1E122..., what is the "E"?
I think it was a California car...
Thanks, Joe
