My dream lady
About this Mopar:
So some members wanted some photos, figured I'd oblige a little. Better pics to come in the future.
Here is a link online to the Roadrunner I wound up buying and dragging out of the mud outside of San Bernadino.

She isn't a Hemi, but she is a Roadrunner.
In the future once I got her back on, I plan to go with a 383/727 with some forged internals, aluminum heads/manifold. Some stuff to pep her up into the 500 hp range. I'm a torque guy so I stick low. I need to get back and check that gear ratio again.
Also have the 383 pictured. It's a donor out of a 71 which I haven't fully traced, but the casting is correct.
Pretty rust free minus an A pillar hole. Glass is all there, and despite being bare, the owner's brother had taken her apart and I have EVERY piece of original hardware and also came with a lot of B Body spares. (Gold mine clutch linkage, hello)
Dark metallic Merlot for paint and silver paint (not vinyl) strobing is coming in the future as well, along with some nice shiny draglite style rims (Average 15's in the front, something fatter and a little taller in the 16's for the rears). Tan with black interior. These cars have always reminded me of the Millenium Falcon so I plan to do some green or blue lit gauges and have a little fun with that. I'd like to do a black vinyl top as well.
