Robert - nice options/color if they are all found on the Fender Tag and Broadcast sheet. Is the FT original? Howz bout the hidden VINS? Mopars took it in the teeth when the muscle car marktet imploded. If doors are showing rust issues, I would be concerned about rust in other areas. I am not up on the market specifically for '70 'runners, but considering this cars condition, options, original drivetrain, I would say $34-44K depending on whether there are hidden rust issues. Please get other's inputs as mine is a real SWAG! Good luck!

Post a photo or 2 if you can!

P.S. nothing better than the air-grabber baring its teeth as it swallows gobs of air!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Why is there rot if the paint is finished? Id be concerned if its fresh and already showing signs.. From your decription Id say some where in the 35k to 40k range.

To give you an idea there is super nice 70' RR numbers 4 speed air grabber forsale in IL. for I believe around 60k right now and Galen seems to think its the cats meow!

Just incase your a Dodge guy I have a 85% to 90% rotisserie restored 70' Super Bee 440 Sixpack, Hemi Orange, Ram Charger Hood car, buckets console, Original Sheet metal california car Id sell for around the 35k mark.

I think by paint is finished, he meant it needs paint. Anyway, sounds like a neat car, but needing a total restoration, I don't think I would go much over thirty grand on it, and less if possible. I will say that my old 70 Six Barrel Road Runner was one of the most fun cars I've ever owned.

Eight lines and no mention of the color of exterior/stripes/interior?

What about the fender tag? Broadcast sheet?

V-code RRs are not terribly rare, so you don't need to kill yourself into thinking you need this car - there's plenty more around.

Agree completely. They're way more common than a Hemi car. I'm a little surprised they weren't even more common. The increase in performance over a 383 car versus the cost made the Six Bubble about the best deal ever to show up in a Chrysler showroom.

On the other hand, there's some very rare V-codes out there too, like any ragtop, Coronet R/Ts, any 1971 (and 1972!) car, and Sport Fury GTs.

They did made a few 6 pack cars but not alot by any means compared to alot of other performance cars. A Purple, Numbers Matching, Air Grabber, Stick car, with a sheet is a desirable car to alot of Mopars guys in my book.. sure it aint a Hemi but I can tell you if it was a real Purple car with a stick and a sheet you wouldnt touch it for under 150k in todays market.

Also be ready to maintain the delicate 6 pak set up.
That carb set up is a pain to keep tuned all the time.
The Six Pak Runs fantastic only if the carbs are running right.

I don't believe any 70 V code, Road Runner or GTX, will pull 150k right now, purple or not. Hell, 69 1/2 M codes aren't even bringing that much lettuce, and they've always been the more desireable car. This car sounds like it needs everything. I've heard of a B5 V-code four speed post for sale up in northeast Kansas. Similar condition to this car for 25 grand. It's been for sale for 9 months and no takers.
