New Member - '68 Road Runner
Long time lurker but finally have something worth making my first post on. Just picked up a 1968 Plymouth Road Runner. The car was an original 383 burgundy car that now has a brand new 440 - 6bbl setup mated to a Hurst 4-spd tranny and a fresh coat of triple black paint. A new '69 NASCAR-style fiberglass hood has also been fitted - I just like the look of this hood much better then the '68 although I know I'm going to offend some purists!
Other then the new engine the car has been put back together as it was in '68. Currently the car has the stock suspension and is sitting on 275/60/R15s in the rear and 235/60/R15s in the front.
Plans in the short term are new front/rear sway bars, new torsion bars and hopefully in the next month or so a complete Air-Ride suspension system with new front disc brakes. When the suspension and brakes are updated she'll get some new 18" forged shoes.
Can't wait to get out and start running her!
