$2.60 for reg 87 ethanol here in Jupiter Fla. But the price of recreational 90 oct has stayed at $4. what a rip. Hopefully as more is used the refiners will compete. I have 3 stations close with the "R-90" way better for the old cars that can accept the low octane.

Last one I sold took 6 weeks for pick-up. My home address is hard to get a truck into and my offer to meet at the interstate ignored. Found about the "board" when you book with most of the companies they post your price on the common board and the truckers pick from the top at their convenience...

Not the shop-- he called his gear source. Not sure which one. Auto 727 I'm going to have the tack checked as well as the spin the wheel suggestion. Shop has a timing light that shows RPM.

Hi Guys I have a 73 RR GTX 440 that appears all original BUT?? it has a performance gear that leaves it buzzing out on the road. I'm thinking of going back to a 3.23. Tack shows 3250 at 60. Its the 8.75 rear and its coded last 3 "489". The gear shop advises that the rear #489 can't take a...

Thanks Guys will look at the restoration. I guess everyone has heard the story of how the RR almost came with stock horns by Jack Smith. Any way, he relates that he had the go ahead from the board to build the car and the Beep Beep horn just wasn't available within mopar. Finally found one...

My Road Runner's BEEP BEEP is out of tune. Back in the day there used to be tuning screws inside the horns. Anybody had one apart? I haven't pulled the cover yet just looking for advice maybe just clean the points? Thanks Chuck

Thanks Guys--

Hi Guys By 1973 the GTX was a option package in the Road Runner. Anybody know the base options required to make a Road Runner GTX 440? For sure: E86 440 engine D34 Torqueflite Transmission Possibles: D6XW bucket seats vinyl A88 Interior Décor Package T93 Tire upgrade Others...

He has a Hellcat on Ebay right now.

OK thanks

I like it. Reminds my of my youth (i'm 75 now and still a little crazy) In my day in rural Fla we street raced a lot. We pieced together enough to beat the early 60s muscle with very low budgets. --34 Plymouth coupe, fenderless running a 365 CI Caddy with 335 HP, 11 inch slicks for the street.

I like the idea of gray paint-thanks 440 runner. I saw a car treated with plastic handle dip (didn't remember the product name) that was tinted. But it was peeling off after about a year. Anybody?? used "plasti dip" comes in a rattle can in light gray? It looks to have the durability that I...

Thanks Guys --The car is True Blue so the tan doesn't fit my eye. I like the silver/gray. Chuck

This is the trim between the bumper and body that I think was tan in color on all cars. Please confirm the color. Mine is discolored from time and I have tried cleaning and even lightly sanding it without a satisfactory result. I tried cleaning with solvents but haven't tried Clorox or...

I'm guessing but I think 1 1/2 inch of plywood would catch it. fill a gallon jug with water and put it behind the wood to save the door just in case. OR put the jug in front of the wood and have some fun! Be sure to report back. When I was about 8 I had a BB gun. Found some shotgun shells...
