MEEP MEEP!!!

It had sat in a garage in Alamdea Calif. the last 25 years. When I finally got the rear seat removed, (it was stuck) I found a treasure trove of personal items from the original owners... (click on pic to enlarge) It needed a 340 pie tin,..a new washer bottle and a trunk mat to replace the orange shag carpet,.. I had the original 800 CFM thermobog rebuilt and it's back on the car now. I was contacted shortly after posting about my new road runner on www.dodgecharger.com - by the guy who owns the identical car built just before mine, his vin. ends in 3, and mine in 4. Sales bank cars, they were identical right down to the three lone options, power steering, transverse reflective stripe and rally wheels, bare bones just like a proper Road Runner should be. All the Runners I see at shows are now loaded with add on options, sorry people those are GTXs. I'll post more info later,.. on to the pics...

The runner was a wedding present and the honeymoon was spent traveling around the Pacific Northwest, the son stuffed his homework under the back seat where there was also maps of their trips, a wallet with lay-away slips for furniture and a diary written in Spanish by the wife who learned to drive in the car...

The Old Plymouth drives pretty well, it could use a new exhaust as the pass side donut is shot and so the car putt putts and smokes from up front a bit...

Everyone who rides in it remarks on how powerful the car is. It really flies and the suspension is smooth and very well controlled, my big block '69 charger isn't nearly as well balanced as this 340 small block is.

I love to see the expressions when oncoming folks recognize what is approaching them, you can actually see people going through a time warp,.. and i always hear "I haven't seen one of those in ages!!" I think, it has one of the prettiest faces an automobile ever had, and I use any excuse to honk the horn, kids love it and the little bird in the grill...

I had plans to update the RR with front discs, & new paint, but then she won't be original anymore and so i haven't done anything but drive her and blow the carbon out weekly.... BTW: i've nicknamed her the "Battlestar Galactica". BSG for short.
