Road Runner Nest

Been off the forum for quite some time. However while moving, today I came across a picture from high school. 71 383 Road Runner in GY8 gold. Man I miss that car....

Dig it! I'll take the car on the left, thank you!

Found some more GOLD.....71 RR pics. The before during and after!!

Even found a local newspaper clipping with a GREAT caption!

WOW!!!!! It's even the same color as my '71 GTX Thanks for sharing

It was really a blast from the past looking through all the old pics. Probably the best part of moving is finally sorting through all the "stuff". Found pics and car info that I had not seen in years. The down side is seeing the pics remind me of how bad I want a 71 RR and a 70 Charger to replace my dads car that he sold when we were growing up. I still have the 71 Satellite that came from the same dealership as my moms 71 Satellite so at least I have one covered!! Just can't decide on what to do with it. It is a low mileage original car that is to nice (in my opinion) to do a rebuild. It really needs a top quality resto but it would probably be 35-50k to have it done. So...it will sit a little longer until I can figure out what path to take.

That's really cool to be able to reflect back on that kinda stuff. Cool finds!

very cool - thanks for sharing!

The newspaper clipping above is almost correct.....however I must confess. This was really my first car love.. 71 Demon 340 which was a factory hood scoop and rear wing car. It was also a GY8 car and got repainted gold while I owned it. Had a blast in the car until a co-workers boyfriend decided that he wanted the car. I told him it was not for sale. He said, "you name the price and I will buy it". I thought of a price that I thought I could find a better replacement. Keep in mind this was like in 1989-1990. Anyway I said "$6000". He said okay. I left work and went to tell my dad that I thought I sold my car for $6000. My dad kind of laughed it off and said good luck on that. Then a few hours later, I had the money in hand. That is what lead to getting the 71 Road Runner!!!

I sure do like seeing pics from back when! Those were really cool. Awesome cars! I graduated in '84. There were always muscle cars lurking around back then. I just found some 1980s pics of my best friends 68 SS396 Chevelle. He sure was glad to get them. I wish I had pics of my 72 Satellite before I wrecked it! Excellent find!

What year were the pics made?

The gold 71 Road Runner pics where from late 1990-93. The 340 Demon pics were from late 88 to mid 1990. The orange Satellite...lol..just taken last month when I went up to check on one of my other projects and watch the 440 being run on the dyno!

My dads brand new GTS conv.Thats my sister in the blue getting ready to take it to prom 1969!
