I bought a 1970 Road Runner 3 weeks ago. It is a 65,000 mile original, North Dakota car with a 383 auto. Has black buckets, console shift, Go-wing, Sure grip Black out sport hood and its FC-7 Plum Crazy purple with a black top. Car is original numbers matching, other than I put a Holley 750 on it (till I rebuild the Carter), and I replaced the factory rusty exhaust with 2 1/2" aluminized pipe with stainless Borla X-1's. It sounds nasty. It's a real clean, no-salt car that has the original paint and top. It has has some work here and ther over the years, but was never rusted, and the frame and floors are mint.
I'm bringing it to the Car Craft Natonals this weekend with some other cars, if I can find someone to drive it there.

I was going to post some pictures, but the damn system boots me and makes me re-log-in every time I take a friggin' breath.
I can't deal with this ten times for a picture.
I have learned to save my context so I don't have to re-type it twice or more just to reply :mad:

Thanks!
No air grabber, and a long. stripe delete car too ( no gold dust trail). I'm gonna put one on it when it gets painted though.
I'm kinda scared to beat it at all. I think if I shell out the original block, it will lose about 8 grand in value.

It has the "956" radiator normally only found on 440-6 pack and hemi cars too. It was ordered with it for trailering I guess.
No front seatbelts either, no holes in the carpet??? kinda weird.
Its a late 1969 car with some 1969 stuff on it, like the open, non sound baffeled air cleaner. I guess it was a early car by VIN.

I had the same car, 25 years ago. :rolleyes: Only Difference was mine was a convertible. :) Chuck.
Cool Mopar!
How's the Nova running?
Did you get the car back from the shop in Michigan you towed to last year?
Oh, one more thing: Is your new avatar for real? You must be driving a dragster now.

I actually did get the Charger back from Michigan a month ago.
It was there for almost 2 years, so time flys.
The Nova is runnin good, and I built a Dart 565" for it but I have not ran it yet. I need to get a parachute and upgrade the rear brakes.
I wish I was running 200!! It's the only avatar I had that was small enough to fit. You gotta have goals though, mine is to run a alcohol funny car with a Lenco drive. I have to finish the new building and a few project first.
I'll try to post a Charger pic.
If you need a transportation assistant, let me know... I'm probably gonna be going down there..

all these pics kinda suck, and it looks awful with the nasty wheels on it.
There is the 440-6 pack on the cart.
Here is a "during" picture too

The Catch10 looks good in there next to your Charger. (glad to see it indoors)
I've wanted a 68-70 since I was a little kid watching the Duke boys.
Yeeeee haw!! I WILL own one in the future if it kills me. :D
Already have the plate picked out "LKN4DASY" ;) hehehe
