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.

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.

Agreed - the only V-code bringing that kind of money will be a Superbird or a ragtop (and, at B-J, even the latter didn't do that).

I was saying you couldnt touch a Numbers Matching Purple HEMI RR with this cars options and a Buildsheet for under $150k In todays market.

I think this 6 pack car restored to a very nice level would be about 75k into days market.. JMO

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.
