Hi everyone. I'm new to this board. I bought a beater 73 Road Runner on April Fools Day, 2004. The car was already pretty extensively modified and in pretty bad shape when I got it so this project has been more of a fix-up than a restoration. The number don't match, the color's not original, and there are all kinds of aftermarket parts on it. Oh well, I like it anyhow. Here is a picture and I've got a detailed history of all the work done on my web site at http://www.muskie-lures.com/73roadrunner/index1.htm. I just got finished doing Phase 2 and I'll include a bunch more pics as soon as I can get underneath the car again.

I think it looks great. Love the color combo too!

welcoe to the site! great looking road runner my first mopar was a '73 340 4 speed. Come back often!

Welcome to the site,,Beautiful car, whats the color, been working on my 74 RR/GTX u code car for over a year now ,just finding correct parts to put back on it. Mine will stay the orginal white, but would like to know the color code of that paint on yours??

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. The car was originally FE5 rallye red with white stripes and interior. I changed it because I got tired of people asking me if it was a real Starsky & Hutch car. Whoa!?!?!?! Now it's PRH Inferno Red Crystal Pearlcoat. At least that's still a Mopar color. Hey 268RTs4ME, do I see a white vinyl roof on that GTX?

Nice looking car.

Yes white Vinyl Top, Stripe Delete car with manuel sun roof, PS,PB. Cruise, PW. Am/FM, Etc., actually has two data plates and is #s Matching 440. auto, and so far i have got over a years worth of work repairing or replacing what was missing, I am sure everybody knows what I mean. slowly getting there..Thanks for asking.

I have a triple black 73 gtx low miles needs detailing, some bodywork+paint hope to have ready for spring! javascript:void(0)

LOOKING GOOD....the car is what YOU make it....and i think your doing a excellent job!and keep us posted on progress.

Welcome aboard!

That's a nice looking RR.

It was a beautiful weekend here in SE Michigan and I got a few more pics.

.... the view seen frequently by non-Mopars...

Roadrunner emblems on side of quarters decal an back hood and decal on from header. yes this car is loaded, listed as 1 out of 79 u codes built in 74. GTX 440 on hood, also has wheel well chrome and rocker panel mouldings

268RTs4ME and Dodgeman55 - how original and unmodified are your cars? These are kind of rare birds. In the 5 years I've owned mine I've see no more than an dozen 73/74 RR/GTX/Sat in person. That includes the Woodward Dream Cruise and the Nationals. I would love to spend a few hours checking out and taking pics of a good original condition survivor. Not to try to emulate - I would just like to know.

My RR/GTX is a #s matching RM21U4, It has two data plates with options..go to www.musclecarclub.com/musclercars/general/musclecars-rarest.shtml 1 out of 79 built.

My RR/GTX is #s matching RM21U3, 45000 miles Had black vinyl roof but someone took it off because they did not like it. Red Book says 1 of 117 gtxs! I am doing a mild restore this winter will post some pictures here when I start. What did you want pictures of?

:TO 268RTs4ME What colors your interior, Is it floor shift and does it have the A88 interior decor package is steering wheel S84 Tuff or not?

Yes A88 decor group, all white interior with black carpet, does not have tuff well. I am looking for some good quarters, like every body else is, has lower rust in quarters. Has console floor shift. 150 speedo and tach, and guages.
