This is my first day at school(new member)

Post by linemup » Fri Nov 16, 2007 10:34 pm

Hello everyone. I am the proud owner of a 69 Roadrunner and just recently I got (what I consider) to be a good deal on a 72 SSP. Paid 1100.00 for it. The drivers side floor pan is gone, lower patch panel on drivers rear front fender needed and afew small holes in the trunk.....400 2 bbl car but I think it has a 383 now.Quarters and everything are mint. Anyway, I am sure I will be asking alot of questions. I know 68-70's like the back of my hand......the whole numbers thing and all. However, this is going to be a learning experience because this is going to be a Roadrunner clone. I have been reading alot of posts here and have been helped tremendously by a few of you on Moparts. Nice to meet everyone. I am a teacher and the bottom line is I love muscle cars, PERIOD! However, b bodies have always had my attention.If I can figure out how to post pics, I will post a few of the 72 SSP.

Body is better than it looks. Primer was put on to cover where trim was for some reason.

Well, initially I thought about painting it black with white interior. However, now I am seriously considering painting it white with black strobe stripe, the ram air hood scoop added, rear wing, chin spoilers.......white interior with black carpet ,steering wheel and dash. I hope that isn't too much white but I am really liking the picture in my mind of that. Plus, I know some items are 71 items, but hey, it's a clone, I stick to originality with my 69 Roadrunner (I try to anyway), so this clone is just to have fun with.

Hey, my 74 SS only cost me 700 bucks and I drove it from VA to Ohio!

Of course, I'm still working on it. .. :shock:
