There are deals out there, it really just depends on what you're looking for. My brother found one that needs a lot of work, but it's a driver and he's really enjoying it. He only paid $10,500 for it. Restoring a 69 RR is expensive! Especially if you want everything perfect. I'm 40k into...

Looking good!

You have a good eye, my vert is indeed R4. R4 is an interesting color, as it looks red and orange depending on lighting. I personally think it looks more orange, which is my favorite Mopar color.

I've been pretty "life busy" lately. I recently took a new job, still as a principal, with another local school district. The transition from one school to another is difficult. Learning all the new staff, students, families, procedures, policies, etc. can be a lot! I have been checking-in...

I haven't been able to do much to my 69 RR vert recently. The body and paint financially tapped me out for a while. I was able to make a few big purchases over the summer on things like: -Strange S60 Dana (complete) -A bunch of new parts like new handles, knobs, cranks, and chrome from P&G...

I have one of those B body verts! :tennis: Not quite road ready, but it will be soon enough...

I found a local auto glass company that is going to do my glass. It's a mom and pop shop that's been in business locally for a long time. When I'm ready for glass, they are going to install my door glass, as well as windshield. My rear window has a zipper....:drive: The bummer is that I...

I think most people would prefer the 4-speed. No decrease in value there... B7 is a great color, I would go with it!

That's awesome! Good for you. My dad gave me my convertible, and we all know it didn't look anything like yours. There's nothing like owning your father's car. I will give mine to my son when he's older. I've got about 20 years to enjoy it, as he's only 5 now.

The K member, sway bar, sway bar brackets, uppers and lowers, and drag link are all powder coated. Everything else is cleared or painted to replicate natural. The powder coating cost was about $300. I'm very happy with it. The guy that did it was fast, professional, and very reasonably...

I got the call today to pick it up. It looks good from the pictures.

That's awesome!

I have a local guy putting the front end together for my RR convertible. Most of it is powder coated, and anything that isn't is painted or cleared. Waiting on the steering box. Here's where it is so far...

I intentionally didn't save my receipts for this reason. I knew I would just get upset if I knew exactly how much I've spent. My estimate is around $40k so far for my restoration. Considering I'm still a long way from actually driving my car, it's can be depressing. I also got the car for...

I've been doing a little too much vacationing to get anything done. Heading to Nashville for a couple days for a work conference tomorrow. Going on a canoe trip on Friday, then a golf trip the next week. It's a tough life I live when I have a month off! :lol: I did hit the bumper brackets...

I've been meaning to post these photos of my new parts for a while. I've had them for about a month. Everything was restored by a local Mopar guy named Mike Mordarski. I highly recommend his services for steering wheels, columns, heater box, and all things dash related. His company is...

I'm pretty sure that is Mike's car (DrMopar). I want to say he picked it up in Indiana not too long ago. Looks like a pretty nice vert! I like that color too. He sure gets his hands on a lot of cool Roadrunners, especially convertibles.

It was a nice ride. Tom is going to roast those Montgomery Ward tires right off that car! That was my first ride (that I can remember) in a Roadrunner. Can't wait til mine is done!

:rimshot: Hey, everyone knows Stu's photos exclusively feature dirty white shoes. That's his trademark! It's hard to hide those size 15's...

I bought my Strange S60 (Dana) from Summit. You can buy them directly from Strange, but I had a 10% off coupon code with Summit and it saved me almost $300 going that way. I spent about $2700 for mine, complete with powder coating, snubber, upgraded diff cover, and 11 inch drum brake set-up...
