Where My Road Runner Landed.....

[martyo]

I was trying to figure out how to change up the look on the car since I got it earlier this year.

This is what I started with this:

Here she is now, tinted, slammed and on 20s. I am sure there are some MOpar purists getting angry, but I like the look.

Have you seen your '65 since we fitted the 24s on it?

[jflave]

Nice clean look, i like :)

[White Knuckles]

Would only be appropriate since I am taller than you :D

[Curless]

Love it! Nicely done!

[Blackmobile]

Brings back my Chrysler days.
Here's a question: Does the horn go......well you know?

[Guittard22]

Hott dam :)

[fastblackmerc]

Nice Marty... Very nice!

[gdsqdcr]

Clean and sharp!

[martyo]

Would only be appropriate since I am taller than you :D

But I am better hung!

[martyo]

Here's a question: Does the horn go......well you know?

Yes sir!!!!

[White Knuckles]

But I am better hung!

Reminds me of the story about the two friends relieving themselves off a bridge.

"This water is cold"

His friend replies "and deep too"

[Shaijack]

Marty I am so proud that you are my SON. Nice RR too.
You know I am a purest but the rims/tires look great.

Thanks Barry.

I needed to change the look of things up a bit and nothing I have done can not be undone in a couple of hours or less.

""Strong current."

"Sandy Bottom."

[martyo]

"Sandy Bottom."

I dated her for a while.

[BODYMAN]

Looks great! As much as I like stock look on older cars, this looks perfect

[L.Mark]

When I was younger I hated these cars. Then one day I had an epihany and realized I love these cars. To this day I don't know why I hated them...It looked sweet the way it was. Now...well all I can say is...:drool::drool::drool::dro ol:

[L.Mark]

Not too big a fan when the older cars are made to look, shall we say, 4x4ish. But this is a perfect setup. I'll have to show my Dad these pics. These size tires n rims is what I BEGGED him to do to his 68 Cougar. But he said he didn't want it to look like snizzle. So I bought him what he wanted 14" Cragars. Now that he's actually seeing some of the older cars set up like yours he says maybe. How can you not like the looks. They make a muscle car look even more muscley...yes, that's a word...Got pics of the inside???

Much better!!! Looks right now!

[FastMerc]

That car looks pretty cool...

[larryo340]

60's Mopars are what I really like....I like the Road Runner with the larger wheels, the stockers always were too small, but that was the sixties for you. I'm sure it drives much better , handles and stops better , pretty much does everything much better than the skinnies. I would imagine that you kept the original wheels in which case the new wheels gets two thumbs up from me.

[2,4shofast]

Such a better look! Great combo:bows:

[Roadwarrior]

Nice look on the Road Runner. Now how about some Wally World port hole stick-ons on the fenders? :flamer: :rolleyes:

[Gryphonzus]

Lookin Good Marty! :banana2:

[Marauder_Santa]

Bring it to breakfast July 20th.

[Mr. Man]

I like it. Big wheels and skinny rubber can often overpower the look but with your car I think there is a nice balance. Job well done.

Needs some Lakewoods for full effect.;)

Tell me more about your Marauder.....

[Mike M]

I should have bought that car.

[martyo]

I should have bought that car.

You still can!

Give me a little more time and the four wheel disc brakes will be on it.

[Baaad GN]

Hmmm Marty, I have a new green beep beep horn I had gotten for my Son's Dodge truck and he's never put it on, so it sit's on a shelf in my garage! GRRRRRRRRRR Not good in or for a GN just like port hole ya know!

Whatcha gonna do with that horn?????

[wickedmerc]

Car looks very sharp, congrats! A Mopar purist would probably pay a few bucks for those Magnums.
Don't know how much you paid for it, but those cars in that condition are getting $$$. Even "low-end", 383 cars :rolleyes: ---> :D
Good luck with it. If you want to trade it for an '03 Marauder......

Where you talking about trading it for the 442? :P

[Bluerauder]

I like it !!! The tinted wheels with the polished rims really sets off the color of the car. The original color was called "Buffed Silver". In high school, a friend had an "Electric Blue" one. He left a 50' patch of rubber in front of the house once at the end of my senior year that upset my mother to no end. ;) I loved the look of the RRs ... but the interior was pretty bare even down to the thin rubber floor mats and vinyl bench seats.

Big Motor, Lightweight, Low Cost, No Frills.

Plymouth sold 45,000 of them in 1968 (twice the projection). Most were equipped with the 383 cid (335 HP, 425 TQ). Only 840 Hemi 426 cid were made in '68 (425 HP, 490 TQ) .... 13.5 @ 105 MPH. The 440 cid was added in mid-year in 1969.

Here's a video with some facts and stats on the 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner >>>> http://www.powerblocktv.com/ymm/YMPLROA68A/1968-plymouth-road-runner

Miss my Road Runner something fierce.
Probably my all time favorite Muscle Cars.
Mine was a 69 383 4 sp it had 42000 miles on it when I sold it..

[wickedmerc]

Where you talking about trading it for the 442? :P

I've resigned myself to the fact that, if I have anything to do with it, I will die with my 442 in my possession. :cool:

[Baaad GN]

Marty bought the horn from year one I think, will have to check, but I'll sell it probably, I have no use for it!

[martyo]

I understand that.

My wife knows what I will be buried in! :D

A Beep Beep! horn goes well with everything!

The Year One horns are not always the greatest. Have you tried it on a battery?

By the way, I am not bashing, just speaking from first hand experience.

[Mike]

Beautiful car!!!!!! Nice transformation with just a couple simple changes :beer:

[Baaad GN]

Nope still in box!

[martyo]

[martyo]

Restored by prior owner.

I am doing things to make it my own - tires/wheels/disc brakes/restore heat and AC/etc.

[Marauderjack]

Cool car.......

I had a '67 426 HEMI Charger back in the day...wish I still had that monster!!:shake:

Looked just like this photo!!:beer:

[martyo]

One of my all time favorite cars!!!

[wickedmerc]

I'll make it $0.50 if you open another shop in the northeast, preferably in NJ! :P
What are the chances you know a good mechanic in NJ?? I'd trust your recommendation based solely on how I know you from this site.
