1969 B Body Mopar Roadrunner Pre-Purchase Inspection Auto Appraiser Detroit Mi

This 1969 Plymouth B body has undergone some restorative work. It appears to have been refinished in a metallic version of a close match to its original B7 Blue, as some original finish was seen on the frame and up inside the trunk during this inspection. The car looks nice cosmetically and drove down the road straight with good working manual brakes. It has small acceptable paint flaws, pretty good lines, and a solid underbody as some of the highlights. On the darker side, the fender tag is missing, the VIN on the core support does not match the dash VIN, which indicates prior parts-swapping due to an accident, or a possible re-body, or partial re-body. There remain some tears in the dye holes underneath from prior framework/pulling. There was an issue with the right turn signal grounding out with the hazards on, the reverse lights are non-operable, the bright light switch will not pin into place, and the oil pressure sunk very low post test-drive. You can hear some lifter chatter in the end of the video as the oil warmed up and thinned out.

Jason...I very much enjoy watching all your Auto Appraise videos....especially when you get a really nice roterrierre restored car that's equally as nice underneath as it is on top.

Absolutely beautiful! ❤

My opinion....that Road Runner is pretty nice & fairly solid....but pretty greasy and crusty underneath and the engine is tired.....I would completely disassemble that car...do a complete nut and bolt restoration and make that car a fricken beauty.

I had a 69 RR back in the day....Power steering gearboxes are shot, loose and sloppy in all A and B body mopars by 80 or 90k miles.
