73 Road Runner - ongoing project

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.

That's got to be the most optioned 73/74 GTX I've come across! It looks like you've got a GTX badge on the bulge hood. Is there one on the dash above the glovebox? How about the trunk lid? A Road Runner emblem on the pillar? Any pics would be great!
