70 Roadrunner Pics and History


Here are the 70 Roadrunner Pics and Specs


Hi: My name is Tom & Pat Rose from Minnetonka, Minnesota, USA and just below are our 70 Roadrunner Pics, Specs and History.


Here are some of the 70 Roadrunner Specs and Mods:

  • .060 Overbore 440-CID.

  • Holley 770 Street Avenger 4bbl. Carb.

  • Racer Brown 280 Cam (adds a nice lopping idle).

  • Flowmaster Dual Exhaust System.

  • Factory Pistol Grip equipped Hurst Competition.

  • Four Speed Console mounted Shifter.


History:

This is my second Moulin Rouge Roadrunner. I ordered my first one from the factory in the spring of 1970 and was later told by the dealer that that was the ONLY Moulin Rouge Roadrunner that was sold in the state of Minnesota. I'm not sure that was true but I assume it is.


Chrysler Historical forwarded to me the production numbers for 1970 Moulin Rouge Roadrunners which were 47 hardtops, 44 post cars and 6 convertibles. That's nation wide.


Since we purchased the car in 1998 I have refurbished all the interior from installing new carpet to replacing the inside Door Panels. Refinished all plastic dash panels and cut, stained and installed real walnut wood panels on the center console which have Richard Petty's signature. I removed all the gauges and sent them to be resilkscreened and calibrated. I then replaced all dash and gauge light bulbs and reinstalled the gauges and all plastic dash panels.


All the engine bright work and installation was done by myself also. The only custom work I did not do in the engine compartment was to powercoat the NOS air filter lid and base plate.


I have been asked a number of times at car shows about the Spark Plug wire standoffs setup that I have. I fabricated them myself out of hollow stainless steel tubing with 1/4" threaded stock cut to the length needed to keep the plug wires well above the Exhaust Manifold heat. Each standoff is about 6 inches long.
