sorry a little off topic but mopar guys will enjoy. my 69 vette goes out for paint and i've been itching for a fun car to drive and found a 69 roadrunner last weekend. drove it home last week. its go original paint and its born with 383 and 150K miles. i'm going to change the carb, tune it up and put some weld lites on it and drive it for the summer. it will probably turn into a full resto too it will look great next to the vette

Congrats on your new toy I always liked the old roadrunners. There were alot of those around back when I was in high school in the late 60's/early 70's. They could be purchased cheap. Unfortunately, alot of trees jumped out in front of those high school drivers .

Enjoy that Road Runner, they were a neat ride back then and still are now. I had a 68 Charger with a hemi back then, sure wish I knew then what I know now! When I sold it, it was just another 6 year old car.

That could be a Monster,, what did you pay for it? A Hemi in it's future,, or a 440? Black paint would be nice.

Friend of mine had a yellow 68 back in high school. He did have a few problems with trees back then, but that was Mr Millers fault. That car was a lot of fun.

i picked it up for $13K and 2 others after me offered him more but he took the high road. for now i'm just going to drive it and have some fun, but i'm thinking about a crate hemi and the A12 hood in its future the vitamin C is one of the reasons that i bought it so that color wont change
