1970 Road Runner, 440 Sixpac, 4-spd, Lemon Twist, 37,000 Miles All Original on 2040-cars

This is an original matching number 1970 440 sixpac pistol grip 4-spd Road Runner with guaranteed 37,000 original miles.  I was lucky enough to receive a call from an acquaintance earlier this year that the fellow who owned this car almost since new passed away and willed the car to his best friend, who was a Ford man and had no real interest in a road runner.  I, like most human beings on the planet love Mopars and immediately bought the car.  It is a very original and unmolested car that deserves to be brought back to its finest glory.  The story is, a fellow bought the car new in Jan 1971 in Chicopee Mass (his name and date of purchase is on the original warranty card) and didn't like the FY1 Lemon Twist color.  He subsequently painted the car blue and then turned the car back into the dealer only a few months later.  The next fellow (the deceased, I have his name as well) bought the car from the same dealer and had it immediately repainted Lemon Twist.  It was probably painted by the dealership in 1971 and that is the paint that is on the car as we speak.  It is over 40 years old and doesn't look too bad.  It could certainly be buffed out, but there are spots that have to be redone and the car could use a restoration.  There are some good size blisters on the rockers and the bottoms of the lips on the wheel wells of the rear quarters are rotted.  The quarters themselves are fine, but the bottom 4" of the lip needs to be fabricated (see pics).  Also the corners of the rain gutters under the trunk lid have some rot.  There are also some bubbles under the vinyl roof in the rear and a good size patch in the center of the trunk that looks like it has been there 20 years.  The engine is original and the numbers on the block match the radiator support and the VIN# on the dash.  The tranny does not seem to be original even though his friend assured me the engine and tranny had never been out of the car.  There is a very nice build sheet and another torn one.  I have the original fender tag, warranty card and owner's manual.  There are even some drag racing slips in the glove box from the 1970's when the car was raced.  The car is running and driving and I believe everything works, even the original air grabber.  The radio is shaky.  I put on a new exhaust system and new tips.  The interior is all original with one small tear on the bench seat and a couple of mouse holes in the headliner.  The carpet was junk and was removed.  The frame rails and floors are all solid, but the driver's floor has a couple of dime size holes in it.  The only option the car has other than the air grabber and the 4-spd is power steering.  I was told the fellow put 4.10's in the Dana for a little more speed on the track instead of the 3.54's.  The original air cleaner was stolen years ago and the one on the car is a steel replacement.  This car can be put on the road and enjoyed immediately, although the carbs have been acting up lately and probably need a rebuild and the clutch is getting close to the end of its life. This is a very rare, very original matching number 440 sixpac Road Runner with great colors and low miles.  It is not in a million pieces nor does it need to be taken apart to be restored.  I have been reluctant to sell the car, but just have too many right now.  It is being sold with a transferable registration and a dealer bill of sale, although a title can can be obtained if one is needed.
