Want to buy 69 Runner but.....

[wisconsinjimmy]

Well I thank all of you for wishing me a Happy Bday (73), here is my problem,
I have recently come into some extra bucks and would like to purchase a 69 Runner which was my very first new car (that was a thrill). What should I be aware of? Should I hire an appraiser to look at it or a body man? I do not want a show car as I can still do my own body work what you you folks do?

Well Happy Birthday, I for sure would find someone that has some knowledge on what to look for on those old cars for sure. Always liked those 68-70 Road Runners and GTX's, damn nice body style. Are you going to look for a 383 or 440 car?

All those old Mopars are big bucks right now not sure why they were made like beer cans back in the 60's.
