    Default new 1978 road runner owner

    hi i just bought this car 2 months ago finally after 3 years of trying. it is a 1978 volare road runner with only 86000 original documented miles almost 100% original car very well preserved under hood and interior still look new. has original window sticker and lots of documentation back to the original owner. very nice car. i just put the cragars on the car but it did have the original rally wheels on it. i was told that the white with blue stripes is very rare. just wanted to put the car out there for everyone to see. the car still has the original undercoating on it and still looks brand new underneath. thanks for looking.

    Very Nice Car!
    Congrats on your purchase. Your patience paid off.
    And Welcome Aboard.

    Just curious....
    You said you just put the Cragars on
    But your pics both say 2006?

    Absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations.
    This car would be perfect as a reference for all those wishing to restore theirs to original state. I'd love to just stand there and ogle that 318 for a day or 3.
