On Sep-20-12 at 23:26:31 PDT, seller added the following information: This Road Runner is for the guy or girl that wants to perform an awesome restoration, and have a sweet B-Body Big Block 383 Numbers Matching original Mopar. Perfect for the father and son project for the winter months ahead. I'm in partners with a close buddy on this car, and we just got finished with the GTX you see in the background, and don't have the time, money, or energy to do another one just yet. This car comes complete with the the build sheet, original owner's manual, customer care warranty, and the original title dated from 03/09/1971, when the original owner got the title from Chrysler credit after they paid off the loan. This Road Runner was built on 03/29/1968, and purchased according to the title on 04/23/1968. This car came in light green, and still appears to have all of the original paint on it. The interior is two-tone avacado green. It was primed in spots to avoid any further rust, and the roof had the sun completely bake off the paint, so that was primed too. Almost everything is numbers matching on this car from the carburator down to the oil pan including the 383 big block, and the 727 torqueflite transmission. Even the 3:23 rear-end is the original. The best part about this car is how nice the floors and the frame are. As shown in the pictures there are some minor spots that will need to be patched, or repaired inside the original trunk, but I think the trunk can be saved unless you want a show car. The interior will need to be replaced, but the seat cores are still alright. They just have some seat covers on them to cover up the cracking. There are new floor mats. This car hasn't been used for over 20 years, and we got it from a Mopar guy that was reluctantly thinning out his awesome collection. He said everything is all numbers matching except for the new starter that was put on to start the car. We've never bothered to get it going yet, but the engine does turn. It needs the numbers matching radiator to be repaired, and most likely a tune-up, and the engine should be good to go. We have no idea if it was ever re-built, so all of that will be up to the new owner. There are a set of four magnum 500's with some pretty nice old school style B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A's on the front, and some Dunlop GT radials on the rear. There is a new trunk mat on the trunk floor that was just spatter sprayed, that includes the four original hubcaps. I saw no scratching that are normally on such old hubcaps from hitting curbs. They appear in very nice condition if the next owner really wants to restore this car back to its original form. The original jack, and the long neck original crow bar is also included, with a full size spare tire. The original air cleaner is still on the original carb, with the 383 Road Runner engine pie tin on top. This was a bare bones stock muscle car that deserves only the best in a restoration. I have personally seen these cars go anywhere from $40,000-$60,000 at live auction. This is a prime opportunity to treat yourself to a highly sought after classic muscle car at a nominal price. What you see is what you get, except for No Wil-E-Coyote! That is an original Warner Bros. stuffed animal from 1971, and that stays here. The winning bidder can purchase it for an additional $1000 after the auction, but I think it's even worth more than that. It has the original markings on it from 1971. I try to list everything I can think of when I write a description, but if there is anything you feel I may have missed, please ask any questions you like. They will be answered in explicit detail with the utmost honesty in the evenings. This is a quick 3-day auction that will sell to the highest bidder on Sunday evening. Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!On Sep-21-12 at 01:18:31 PDT, seller added the following information: The mileage is actually 101,883 not 60,000 as listed in the auction. On Sep-21-12 at 06:44:33 PDT, seller added the following information: Oh, I almost forgot, this car has the original Road Runner "Beep Beep" Horn too! On Sep-21-12 at 20:10:35 PDT, seller added the following information: Just an FYI: I know all the hardcore Mopar guys out there already know this to be fact, but I wanted to point out that this model was factory ordered as the top of the line Road Runner hardtop right under the un-estimable Hemi. As seen in the vehicle identification number this is an H model hardtop, which means it has the highest horsepower of all four of the 383 big block engines ordered in 1968. The Road Runner hardtop had four different horsepower rated engines. The base model had 270hp, next in line was 290hp, then was the 300hp Road Runner engine. However the H code had 330hp or 335hp as listed in the Nada Classic car value guide that anyone can look up online. This model is valued at $48,240 in the highest condition, $27,120 in average condition, and $17,040 in the lowest condition. This car just may end up making a golden profit for the new owner on Sunday night. Whatever this cool old original numbers matching big block 383/330hp Road Runner ends up selling for will be well worth it. May the best man or woman win!! This is one rare bird! MEE MEEP!!!!
