I have posted this pix before but it deserves another view....lol
Brand New Hemi Road Runner.
It was all red in color from the factory then we had it finished out in the Sox & Martin Color Scheme complete with Keystone Kustom Klassic Wheels. Lettering was all Gold Leaf.
I ran it in SS/CA during the 1968 Season.

Mike, sure wish I had bought a '68 runner. Probably would not have gone with a Hemi a 383 or 440 would have been great
Hemis seemed so expensive & they were not very drivable.
 
Mike do you have any of the 68 Hemi RR ?
you haven't already shared ?

I love the ol' vintage look, in old photos

Please just curious, why a Hemi wasn't very driveable, I say this because almost all of the Chrysler fans want a 2gen Hemi, thanks for your answer.
 
Great pic and car, Mike! Thanks for posting.

My Hemi is very driveable. I'd say that reputation is mostly a myth. It's also not all that bad on gas....if you keep your foot out of it. :rolleyes:
But what's the fun in that??!! :D
 
That's a pretty cool Roadrunner Mike !!! Ron
