Hi

[71bird]

Hello everybody,i,m Anthony and.. well i just found this site and just joined.I have what i think is a one of a kind Bird ( i know every body says that).Anyway i bought it in 1974 when it was 20 years old, and i am trying to put it back together after a full job.Anybody want to hear about it i'd be glad to talk about it.

Welcome to the Nest! Tell us more about your car. What makes it one of a kind? We love to see photos.

Well, i'll put up pictures as soon as i figger out how.I don't know the best way to tell you whats on the car,to give all the numbers or just try and list them. So if i leave anything out i'll put it up latter.I bought it from the original owner and he said he special ordered it, the thing is the last item on the list. Remember it's 70 or 71 and insurance back then in some states you might not get ins. with certain parts on a car.I'll start at the front, it's black 383 mag. power steering, power brakes, fender mounted tern signals,air grabber,remote left mirror,non remote mirror on right.All the glass is tented ( non a/c) 3 speed wipers, no strobe stripe, black out around the tail lights, slotted ex. tips,am radio, black delux interior, bench seat, pedal dress up,tachometer, light group,14 inch rallys,Rear window louvers.And with all that it had a 3 speed trans.

Sounds like a cool car! The 3spd manual was actually the standard trans for a 71 runner. What does make the car somewhat rare are the rear window louvers. Only 96 road runners were built with them in 71. Bet they look great on a black car.

To upload pics: when you post a message, below the buttons to preview or submit is a tab "upload attachment". Pick that and you'll find options to upload image files. Best image size is 640x480.

The thing i was gitting at was this man had the money to order anything he wanted, but in my state a 4 speed could have made gitting ins. a no no . It was like having a Vaga GT.

I tried to attach some pictures and it says the image is invaled. Any suggestions?

Post them to a picture hosting site like Photobucket and then copy a link of the picture to your post.
That way the picture will be on the site as long as you have it linked.
Photobucket is free unless you want the Pro, unlimited hosting.

Sorry, all that stuff is over my head, if i can't do it straight from the card in my camera i guess i'm out of luck.

Welcome to the nest. How about we take in one step at a time. Check into posting your photos to Photobucket. Just go to www.photobucket.com and sign up. It should be fairly easy to upload your car photos to their website. Check back with us once you get that figured out. Good Luck! Scott.
