Finally put 2,000 miles on my rusted out roadster

Post by SEC »

After months of working with my grandfather we finally got our 69’ 2000 on the road. I’ve driven it to virginia beach and back (~120 miles) without issue. It’s running stronger everyday and i’m extremely pleased with it. Took it to cars and coffee richmond hoping to see another roadster (or a dodge charger) but sadly didn’t see any. My roadster did however became the banner for one of their face book groups. Lord I love this car and plan to begin restoration upon purchase of a welder

That car may exceed the limits of patina, but the green, yellow, and rust nicely complement each other. Kind of a captivating look though.
Glad to see that you are driving it before you start on the cosmetics.

In healthcare terms, that is a car with a “will to live“ !
