This is what it originally looked like after coming out of my scrap body box. I had started removing the thick paint and found that body was intact and in reasonable condition.  |

I've had a couple like that...
Thinking I'm scared to see what is under that paint blob. Then to my surprise finding a good body.

When I said I could live with the rest on the roadrunner project I guess I wasn't looking close enough. The rear window area was all wrong.  Got that shaped up and back in primer...  looking better.   something is still off. |

The back of the car looks like it got hit with a chop saw. Can't live with that either...   |

A little wash of primer...  little filling to do on the rear quarter.  this side looks good.   not much difference but I feel better.  hoods looking good. Hard to get a picture of the bulge hood.  All for now. |

Nope they won't fit any more:-) I found out auto world had made die cast version im going to try and hunt one down. Thinking I might be able to copy (then change to fit) the bumpers and grill from it.  |

One day too late to throw a Hot Wheels Road Runner in your box. The box is on its way. Next time.

My stubbornness kicks in on this one. It has to be a 73 or 74 model year. The last good years of the roadrunner. The front end bumper and grill go straight across. The 71 and 72 do a wrap around the lights thing. After 74 it looks like they tried to turn the roadrunner into a monte carlo and did a horrible job in my opinion. If you got a 73 or 74 you can put a sold sign in the window.

To the best of my limited knowledge. A 73-74 Road Runner was never offered by Hot Wheels. Auto World might be the only one.
I'm attending a die-cast flea market Saturday July 28th. I can check for you. 40+ vendors.
