At minute 24:40 vehicle is chirping the tires during upshifts (don't believe that is factory behavior):

 
I didnt realize that appraisers were allowed to abuse cars in this manner.. to me.. thats taking advantage of situation that hes in charge of.. maybe Im wrong..

as for the upshifting..
my 66 does that.. its actually pretty cool.
 
My stock 727 auto equipped 71 Charger R/T would chirp 2nd at or near WOT.
If it didn't, I knew it was time to tighten the torque strap turnbuckle.
For some odd reason, with a stock HP 440 4bbl auto transmission and 3.23 OPEN 8 3/4 rear axle, it broke 2 driver's side rubber motor mounts...
My warmed over 440 6bbl manual transmission 70 Roadrunner Sure Grip Dana 60 equipped car has yet to break one, and it puts out noticeably more power and gets slammed on more between the 3 pedals and just overall...
 
Overall really nice car. The builder, (richard cranium as per above post), showed a great deal of interest in restoring the car with detail, contrast, correctness and care. Truly a Mopar guy! 98% of most Mopar enthusiasts would give it a thumbs up. The other 2% are critics who help keep the Mopar restoration world in line with perfection. Open mind + positive opinions/facts = Awesome built Mopars!
 
That's my old car. I built it.
It's beautiful!
I don't imagine my Roadrunner will ever be that clean.
I'm modding it quite a bit, so that gives me a pass, if only in my own opinion, for my car to have more of a driver appearance.
There is one local guy who I'd trust to strip it and do a repaint along with some adjustments the front passenger side fender needs, but that $10k will have to wait for other things to be done first, like my stroker motor. Still then, stock correct is not the direction I'm going on my real non #s matching V-code.
That must have been a great car to own RC!
