someone had a spoiler mounted on that trunk lid. as far as being saved, I'm not a body man, back here we deal with rust, out there you get the dents.
Well I was told the car was used as a street/strip car way back. Spoiler huh. Wonder what kind haha

That's crazy I found some of your old threads. You wouldn't by chance have those original black plates that go to the car still would you?? Any information on the car or anything I might not know. ..Why'd you get rid of it?

Okay here is the story. I bought it from the brother of the owner of Surf City Garage car care products. I found it on Craigslist. The owner of Surf City bought it and parted it out to fix another car in his massive collection. According to his brother (the guy I bought it off of) it was given to him by his brother to discard and keep the money. It had no title and the brother promised me a title. Alright so he never got it for me. I attempted to get it from Tim (surf city garage) and they could not find it and told me they had a title for it but never put it in their name because it was a parts car. So off to the DMV service and we ran the plates. Turns out that the black plate on it did not belong to the car. It was still registered non-op from 1983 (!) to a lady in Torrance and I sent her a certified letter with a bill of sale for her to sign. If I did not get a response from her in 2 weeks I could get a new title. She did not respond. I became the registered owner and it is now currently registered. A few months ago I recieved another Road Runner in a trade and it was in way better condition so we decided to sell your car to Alpine Trading through an ebay auction. He picked it up a few days before you popped in here. So I dont really have much for you other than I thought it was a hi performance axle car because of the big radiator opening. Turns out the radiator support has been replaced. Thats about it.

Still kinda cool to get a little bit more of a background on it. So thanks. Makes me wonder what they parted out on the car since it's relatively complete. Actually got it registered in my name the other day.
