Speaking of Junkyard Roadrunners......

I happened to stumble across a couple of them today in South Carolina.
The most notable being a 1971 RR 383, 4 speed car. Been a long long time since I saw a 4 speed car in a JY. I had my son take some pics of the car, to include the fender tag....(which I did leave)
I did purchase the Rallye dash with tach out of the car.
We are still out on the road, doing a couple days of junk yarding. When we get home, I'll see if I can get a few pictures of the car posted. Resurrecting It would be a huge undertaking....one far beyond my skills, financial means, and patience.
I had a pretty busy schedule worked out for the day, so my attention to detail was not keen. Not even sure if the car had a rear end in it....I talked to the yard manager and he did say that they are willing to sell whole cars. He could not give me a price at that time, he would have to look at the car himself before quoting a price...The Rallye dash set me back $200, so I would not expect the car to be particularly cheap.
