Here's some pics of my 70 RR Convertible back in 1984 or so. I'm probably 2 years away from starting the resto but thought I'd post something. It's FK5 burnt orange, 383, 4-speed, AC, power windows, BO and white bucket interior, white top. Bought it from original owner in '83 for $1200. Hit some railroad tracks at speed with 3 buddys in the car and the rust/fiberglass/bondo/steel strapping 'rear frame/trunk floor' section let go and the spring shackles hit the trunk lid and the car became undrivable. Hung onto the car but got busy with college, wife, career, kids, old farm house, Mustangs, home theater, etc. and still the RR sits. Numbers matching engine, tranny, body, BS, Fender Tag, and title. Doesn't have a pistol grip(?), has a plain white ball threaded onto the hurst shifter (maybe a 69 piece?) Old guy I bought it from said he wanted something with power to tow his boat around. Enjoy!

Cool car. Lets see some pictures of it in storage.

I wonder if the orignal ower put the boat in the water with that car?

Wow, I love that color on that 70 runner rag. When I find 70 runner or satellite rag it's going to be sassy grass green.
