First post intro: 1970 Roadrunner 440+6

Mr. B5 · Dec 14, 2013

Let me begin by saying the first brand new car I ordered was a 1970 GTX.
It was a 4 speed, 4.10, air grabber, p/b, p/s, 4 barrel in B5.

I recently began a search for another GTX (I sold this one in 1972). Not being able to find one, I "settled" for it's
twin, a 1970 Roadrunner, also in B5, pistol grip 4 speed, air grabber, etc. But this one has the six barrel motor.
It has not been delivered yet, but I am hopeful I'll have it before the year is out.
I don't want to prematurely post pics yet, so be patient and I'll post when I have the RR in my garage.

BTW... it had a 3 year rotisserie restoration completed earlier this year.

Welcome aboard, B5. That's a strong mustache you have there, young man.

40+ years later it's just a memory I can visit in old pics.
Put it this way: I can ride in a convertible without messing my hair.

I love those old original pictures. Here's a little fade removal for you...

It looks like you had ALL THE TOYS back in the day. Share some more if you got any.

Excellent job PHOTON do it again, do it again

Welcome to the site. It sure is great looking at those old photos of our cars. I'm positive I am not the only one who wishes they had taken more pictures of their cars back in the day. But then again, they were only modes of transportation back then and nothing to get very excited about.

Welcome aboard sir.....
I can't wait to see the pictures of your new ride!!!
It's great getting back into these old cars again!!!!!! I had a 69 R/R quite a few years back, along with a front engine Dragster, Motorcycle, etc.... Priorities began setting in, so like many others I too got rid of the babies to eventually have real babies... Then the cost of having a Family made it impossible to have an awesome Mopar! Eventually the kids grew up, every day transportation was paid for, house was purchased, etc,etc, and now I have the money "sort of" and time "sort of" to do it again..
Good luck and Happy Moparing!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome and cool Norton too.

Mr. B5 · Dec 15, 2013

Thanks for improving my pic Photon440.
Looks much better.
Some of you may have noticed the snow tires in a pic.
This was my daily driver, and sat outside (no garage at my parent's house) 100% of the time.
At least they gave me driveway privileges.
