Summary/Comments

(Condition code: #1 Excellent, #2 Fine, #3 Very Good, #4 Good/Fair, #5 Poor/Restorable, #6 Parts Car)

This is a very nice example of a Road Runner. Total production for 1971 is 14,218. This car originally came with a 383 cu in engine and an automatic transmission. Car was purchased in 1998 by owners father with engine and transmission swap completed prior to purchase. HP rating and gearing is unknown. Engine sounds strong with a hotter than stock cam shaft. Due to a small amount of visible rust in lower quarters, even though paint, fit and finish is considered fine, the most the exterior grade can be given is a 3-. Because of the small visible body rust, but given the condition of the rest of the vehicle, overall condition code is a 2-.
