74 roadrunner

[JaymzMakk13]

got the roadrunner yesterday my dad towed the barracuda 600 miles from fla to eden nc. then a mile from the guys house we slid on a banked curve doin a whopping 3 miles an hour and the trailer dragged us into the ditch. the guy on the tractor in the background sat there and watched us for 3 hours before even offering help...after we winched ourselves out of the ditch and up the embankment.

[JaymzMakk13]

If you think they suck in snow, get one in a few inches of mud.

They won't pull a greasy string outta of dog's *** in mud. :rolling:

yeah it wasn't lack of power he borrowed a buddie's 2004 f 550 we jus had no traction.

Yep , that's the way it is, you get snow, ice or mud packed up tight between those dual wheels and the traction goes right out the window and the Power means nothing.

By the way Nice Runner ! tell us more about it.

Yeah your right , but I've learned since then . Just pull 1 dual off each side and you won't have that problem .

Also very nice road runner had 1 bb, and 3 satelites , sb's . Fun cars !

i'm only the 4th owner of the runner, she still has the orginal book and paperwork in the glove compartment. everything is original with the car when it left the factory minus the paint nshe had now< paint code unknown on the fender tag and she had a tranverse striep and a bumblbee stripe both white> , the bucket seats<she left with a bench> and the deck lid. other then that she's fine all i have to do besides minor body work like dealin with the little rust in the corner of the doors, is buy new window felts and weather strippin, and i'm pullin off the 4 barrel and the intake and replacin them with a 2barrel. and she needs a new valve stem and an oil change. i think i really came out on top of this deal.

Are you going to restore it back to original? What size motor is in it?
