SERVICE: We spent $3,000 servicing this one. We replaced the spark plugs and adjusted idle, repaired back up lights, went through dash wiring and lights to make sure all are functional, gave it a front-end alignment, fixed the brake lights, replaced driver window channels, replaced passenger window regulator. New door locks and cylinders installed. Reconditioned drum brakes, bled and filled brake fluid.
This is a very honest Road Runner. The owner of 20 years took a lot of pride in restoring it to authentic condition. He made sure it as functional as it is beautiful.
A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year membership.
