Hello all,
I had the pleasure of meeting moparchris today. I wanted for someone with experience to look at my recent purchase and Chris was more than gracious and agreed to meet me at a body shop in Costa Mesa. Thank you Chris! This site is great!!! :grouphug:

Alex, good to meet you. I had the pleasure of meeting up with Alex and his awesome 69 Runner. I even got to ride in it. Lets just say I think he used a ski mask and a gun to get this deal done cause he stole it. What a nice solid car. It has a pretty stout 440 in it and drives like a low mileage car, no squeeks or rattles. I hope all goes well with the body work and paint on it over at Mascar.

Thank you guys for all of the nice comments. Chris said that you all were a cool bunch.

The car was an original bench seat car but the last owner said "not sporty enough" so he got some buckets for it. And yes, that’s how I feel screw the pant just drive it but it has some rust issues that I want to take care of immediately.

A little history on the car:
I'm the third owner. This car was purchased new from a dealer about five miles from my house. It spent all of its life here in the "South Bay" of Southern California. I have all of the service records from the dealer that it was purchased from, the original window sticker and build sheet.

The previous owner is a childhood friend and he has owned the car since the early 90’s. I’ve been after this car since he bought it! Every time we got together the first question I asked him even before saying Hi was “Tom when are you going to sell me that runner?” well, it took over 20 years but I finally got it!
This car was raced by the original owner at Lions in Long Beach CA. I have time slips and my friend Tom said that he has pictures. Once I gather all of the paper work I’ll scan it and post it.

Rebuilder Bobs moats and remoats, don't like your neighbor specialist.

Nice score Alex. The body doesn't look bad at all. I see mostly dirt and not much else. Of course if it's a south western car, it's gonna have minimal rot (not always but usually).
