Offset-U-bet! Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Saw this early 70's R600 in my town. Drive by it every day for 4 years and just today caught my attention! So I swung in to snap a couple of pix. Would like to investigate more. Its a twin screw and had a dump on it. Thats all I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 79 or so with the lip fenders and a 300+ by the scoop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I think its a 73'. It has a tan dash. They stopped putting the R-600 emblem on around late 77'. It also looks like it has the old style front hubs, that have the more round style. The argument starts.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2stacksuperdog Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Maybe it got a new hood but its got +3 ab with R600 on it but didn't they have bulldogs on teh door too.

umodelnut Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Im thinking its a "mutt". It does look like a plus 3 cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offset-U-bet! Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 Could possibly be a mutt! This is NH things rot etc.... I will try to get a #. Fromthe way it looks whom ever owns it probably would let it go. Lots of vegitation around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 im leaning twards Mutt. has the older 60's style front bumper but the 78-79 hood with the lip and the older style R600 emblem but the 73 and newer tan dash with plus 3 cab, I think around 1980 they went to the twin inlet air cleaner and ditched the hood scoop.
