Canadian built 73 RR? How rare? - 10/13/10 02:30 AM
I almost hate to do it, but I am.... I have long dreamed of sway bars and a hood for my Satellite, and was going to put an axle in my car, when the guy at the shop had a buddy with a Road Runner for cheap.
I bought it, and after taking stuff off of it, I found that it might have been made in Canada...
I was wanting to know what the rear axle gear is... I found a broadcast sheet under the back seat, but it may have come from another vehicle.
It's pretty rusty, the quarters and trunk floor are gone, the rear bumper mounts are shot, it has a towing harness, I wonder if it got dipped in the lake?
It was a big block car, it was silver with I'm guessing green interior because the bench seat and rear seat were painted green, but the dash and lower door panels were black, the uppers, I can't tell if they have been painted over or not, but the seats that were in it definitely were.
Somebody began jamming under the hood yellow, and the engine and trans are long gone. No tach and a 120mph speedo, column shift... the rear quarter windows are fixed...
But was it really made in Canada? The door sticker says "Made In Canada", but the fender tag says USA.. It wouldn't surprise me if something shady went on with the tag, as it's been painted over, but the remains of the strobe stripe are still there, and the hood was silver. Has the big block inner fender...
Sorry for the crappy cell phone picks.
It's not too bad rusty, if it was a convertible Cuda I'm sure somebody could save it, but it's in worse shape than my car, and the rear is pretty rusty... small spot in the passenger floor also.
It was also full of these:
