That great feeling 70 Roadrunner

[drodg58]

My 1970 Roadrunner 383 B5 has been sitting since January. Got in it two days ago and fired it up on the first try. With a temperamental Holley it was such a great thing!

Pictures?

Every spring when I fire them up for the first time I'm thrilled if they cooperate and start without any issues.

I will try to get some pictures this week. The Roadrunner is kinda new to me & I have also a 65 Coronet 500 383 4bbl but it is a Carter carb and quite a bit more forgiving on starting.

Here it is sitting on my showroom. It is a mostly original paint 383 pretty much a true survivor. Automatic. Deluxe bench seat.

I like your car, AND your showroom!

Thanks. Customers love the Roadrunner.

Bet you could sell a bunch of 'em if they made them today, eh?

I have a 65 Coronet 500 that I have kept on the showroom too but it will be heading to my house.

I got home a little early on Wednesday, and my dirt road was almost dry, so I too fired up my 70 B5 car and took it out for a ride. It’s been a long winter, with nothing but the plow truck to drive. Not nearly as fun at the bird!
