Pics bringing the RR home

[1971RR]

It was a great day for a 65 mile drive home. The Ram got a good workout. Got some strange looks and some thumbs up on the ride home. My buddy calls these kinds of pics "Hero Shots" cause whenever you see a car on a trailer its going somewhere to get some love and attention.

Cool beans. A ride home like that always creates a perma-smile.

Thanks guys. It was such a great ride. Told my buddy that I need to borrow his trailer once a month just to load up the RR and drive around. If you like attention its definitely the way to go! Got to blow some soot outta the Cummins too!!

She'll go under her own power right now. Its the stopping she has a problem with. Plus she is still wearing 22 year old, flat spotted, cracking Fred Flintstone tires that I wasn't sure would make the 65 mile trip home. After I got it home I found a leaking banjo bolt. That gave me some of my stopping power back. I drove it (slowly) the 6 miles to my favorite shop to go over all my handy work and make sure she is road worthy.

That's so awesome man! I'm excited for you! It's just amazing to me that after so long in storage she's so close to getting back on the road!

I made a trip like that earlier this year, I rescued this car from the grips of the Canadians and brought it back to the USA. (Just kidding guys!) Its great to load up your car and make the trip home..wish the trip I made would have only been 65 miles, it took forever!

Somthing about an old hotrod on a trailer looks great. You know its getting taken somewhere for some TLC and being saved from the crusher. How'd the Durango hold up on the trip? I had a 99 SLT+. Not sure I would've towed a car hauler with it but it was a great truck. Mine was Amethyst (purple) with dual exhaust and functional Shaker hood. I'll have to dig up the pics.

It actually did great and it has the small V-8. No problems starting out or stopping, gas mileage wasn't bad either. We got a lot of "thumbs up" on the trip home and I found myself with a big smile. At the time the 63' had 3.91.1 gears so putting it on a trailer made more sense.

how about how the 'dango did on handling? I've got a 2000 myself that i'm hoping to pull my satellite about 800 miles with and i'd like to do it safely but at a decent pace.
