Road Runner Nest

I have always been a gm guy a few years ago i got to drive a friends charger and from then on i cant get the damn mopars outta my head. i really love the style of the 70s roadrunners so i set out to get one i found my 1971 roadrunner in upstate ny where a friend of mine had it and i never even knew it. one day we were talking about my pontiac ventura and how i wanted to get rid of it and he said i got a car youd like and took me up to a field where the car was just pulled out to make room in his barn.I asked if he would take 2500 for it he said it was probaly worth more but he would sell it to me on the conditions that some day he could drive it again and if i ever sold it he had first dibs how could i not agree with that. so im trying to get some info on the car it is a real 1971 roadrunner was a yellow color now purple full vynil top and a sunroof original engine was a 383 but he gave me a 440 also it has a bench seat and it is a column shifted car i would love any info i can get. like i said i was a gm guy and i really dont know a whole lot about mopars thanks for any help email me if ya want scotty82g@yahoo.com these are some pics http://s673.photobucket.com/albums/vv99 ... 0_0458.jpg

ROAD RUNNER ARE RM IN THE VIN NUMBER

welcome Scott, I agree, that broadcast sheet is not for your car. Does it have a fender tag? If so, post the picture and we can decode it for you.

Hi Scott, your RR sounds like a nice car and with a sunroof to boot..... where is that fender tag?

Am I the only one that noticed the B5 interior, are you sure this was a Yellow car?

I just went back and looked at the picture again and I am sure the hood decal says 440.

Any other pictures?
Is the dash vin or door vin still on the car?

yeah the color was with out a doubt some sort of musterd yellow or butterscotch color originally. my friend painted it purple i cannot find a fender tag but the vin on the dash is RM23N1G112968

Cool car ... you can see the butterscotch under the vinyl top.

No way to tell from just the VIN what options the car came with. Looks like it was originally butterscotch....a very cool color IMHO (but I'm a little biased....see the second car in my sig)

i butterscotch with b5 int

alright im so excited while looking online i found some article that had a section about mopars and how in the factory there was no set place to put the brodcast info sheet and how multiple sheets have been found in cars i started looking around my car and wouldnt you know it i found the sheet behind my glove box taped to it the first one i found was under my rear seat i looked at the vin on the sheet and it matched my roadrunner sweeeeeeeet! im gonna update my broadcast i already posted check it out.

So it's an EL5 Bahama Yellow (butterscotch) car with V1X full vinyl top, M2X9 standard black vinyl bench interior, and column automatic. Other options: H41 strato vent, A01 light group and A04 basic group, B11 4 wheel drum brakes, G33 left chrome racing mirror, S77 power steering, R11 AM radio.
I've probably missed something. A readible photo of the broadcast sheet would help.

i got two pics of the brodcast on my photobucket i would put em on here but everytime i try to it says file is to big so you can use the link to check em out thanks for all the help im learning alot about mopar codes thats for sure

Ok here are a few more for you from your broadcast sheet:
wheel code 52 - 14" Rallye wheels with (code 24) trim rings
axle code (D)53 - 8 3/4" 3.23 open rear end
L31 - hood/fender mounted turn signals (hood mounted in your case)
M75 - rear bumper tape treatment (blackout) - odd, this is usually part of the A87 package, but appears to have been ordered separately on this car
T86 - F70x14 WSW tires
Y13 - dealer demo car

It contains a lot more information, but those are the option highlights.
