Look what I Found!!!!!! Updated Updated

[bookedbydano]

Okay, I was out looking for some new lots to build some houses and I spotted this.  Sorry the pictures are not that great but a snow storm was beginning so I just took some shots from the road.  Not sure what it is ........can you guys help???  I will try to get better pictures..........located in central Nebraska.  It is not licensed and it looks as if it hasn't moved for sometime

[bull]

Looks like a '71 Roadrunner or Satellite.

looks like a roadrunner hood. i would check it out

[Charger1973]

Yeah thats worth looking into for sure 

[Manfred318]

Yeah thats worth looking into for sure

It suppose to snow about 6-12 inches, its going to be buried.......Hope it warms up so I can go back and see what it actually is......very curious.....From what I have seen and done some research I think it is a roadrunner......Have to grab some CASH and go

[Charger1973]

Its either a 71 or 72 Roadrunner or Satellite.  Looks decent from here.  Make sure you check the VIN before you drop a bunch of cash on it though, it might be a RR clone.

[Dave22443]

I had a '72 Satellite that looked just like that.  Man I miss that car. 

[bookedbydano]

If I can get a shot of the VIN, could someone here decode it for me???

[Ghoste]

Oh yeah, somebody will be able to do it.  Get a shot of the fender tag too if you can and it's still there.

RM= Road Runner
RS= GTX
RL= Satellite
RP= Satellite Sebring?

[BigBlackDodge]

If the VIN starts with a RM It's a Road Runner. RH it's a Satellite Sebring. RL it's a Satellite. RP it's a Satellite Sebring Plus. RS it's a GTX

from the pic, it looks like its spying  on you. if you listen closely you can hear it say SAVE ME!!! TAKE ME HOME!!!

[bookedbydano]

Okay, I went over and no one was home so I decided to sneak back and see what it really was....  it is a RM code on VIN so it is a roadrunner.  It does have the roadrunner stickers.  It has 440 on the hood scoops and does have a 4-speed.  It appears to be unmolested and in very good shape.  I wanted to take more photos but didn't like the Idea of being in somones back-yard uninvited...What do you guys think?

[PocketThunder]

I would take it home just for the fact that it is a 4 speed car.!

[RT DAVE]

The 440 badges wouldn't be correct for the car would they?  If it's a 71 it would have to have a 6 pack and a 440+6 script on the hood if that were the case, correct?  There weren't any 440-4 cars that year in a RR, were there?   Just nitpicking.   Is there a "V" in the vin?

[Charger_Fan]

That's a '71 for sure...and YES it needs to be rescued! Go get it, do it now & beg forgiveness later!

Oh & after you get it home, don't forget to go back &  the owner for leaving it in a field like that.

[bull]

If it's sitting near a road you can bet the owner has been asked 150 times already if he'll sell it. And he's said no 150 times so you have to make it 151 I guess. He'll probably say something stupid like he's going to fix it up someday, or that you can have it for $30k. I hate to be cynical but most all of us have been through the process of trying to buy neglected cars and very few of us can report good news afterward.

[hemihead]

In 71 RR's did come with 440-4's.Very sweet! I bet if he does sell it won't be cheap.Looks like it has a plate on it.

[70 Charger RT]

Nice find!  I would bug him/her to sell.  If they say no, keep checking back so eventually they'll get to know you and hopefully when the day comes, they'll sell to you.

[bookedbydano]

I know the car hasn't moved in a while.  This place is in no mans land and you can barely see it...so maybe there is a chance.  I think I will go over with some cash in hand and see if money talks.  Worth a shot.  The car looks all original from what I saw and everything looks to be there.......would have liked to have gotten a better look but didn't like the fact I was tesspassing anyway I'll keep you guys posted

[hemigeno]

Just going by what the "little white books" say, the '71 Runners only came with a 340, 383-4, 426 & 440-6.  Stranger things have happened though.  There is at least one documented '70 440-4 RR which people used to say didn't exist.  I wonder what the VIN says though   

Nice find anyway!

[Shakey]

There looks like a lot of potential with that car.

I'd agree with the others, find out who owns it and establish a rapport quickly.  Don't come on too string, just show some interest and feel him out.  If he happens to be a she, perhaps feeling her up might be a better approach.

Good luck.
