Road Runner Nest

If anyone knows how to reach ILUV72RRs, let me know. He hasn't been on here in a few years. The car he mentions has surfaced and the owner would like to get broadcast sheet.

So whatever happened to this guy?

Last active about 2 years ago

Welcome to the Nest BTO. As Scott mentioned, I do run a registry for these cars. I can tell you that 739 SSPs were painted GW3 in 71 but the combination of body and roof colors built is not known. I have seen other white with green roof/interior cars. I would like to see photos of the car and fender...

I see you're planning to install wire wheels on it

Yup, I don't believe Gene is doing stuff anymore.

Not exactly. Dayclona is Mike Goyette and he is in Massachusetts. He helped build the 71 wing cars, but the owners Gary and Pam did most of the work. None of them live in NY. Mike did used to make the window louvers but I don't believe he does anymore. http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php?top...

no, neither the screws or the latch were on the car when painted...sort of a gray finish. photo of my original paint car.

Looking good. Curious why you're painting the screws that hold the door latch? They were not painted from the factory.

Per the factory engineering documents for 71 plymouth B bodies, there were only 4 paint colors that were to omit the front end area backout: TX9, GB7, GF7, and GY9 (all dark colors). All others per the engineering documents should have it. Interestingly, my survivor GB7 car has the blackout.

The only thing you can get from the VIN number is (as you mentioned) the build plant, and the engine.

Yes, road runners were built with bench seats and column shift.

Unfortunately only Dave can answer this and he hasn’t been active here in a very long time

Welcome to the nest! Cool car...super track pak too. The tag is coded for a painted roof, no vinyl.

Here ya go

I'll try to remember to take a photo of my original jack/trunk when I get home. Base and mechanism are a light gray as already mentioned.

Both of mine sit about 1" to 1 1/2" higher
