All these belong to you?? Wow!! Beautiful rides.
Ever since I was Kid, I have thought the 68-70 Road Runner to be the coolest car known to man! I finally managed to fill that dream 3 years ago when I found this gem laquishing in Arizona. The car was restored 9 years previous and had an engine failure after running only 30 miles. The owner at the time put a 361 in the car to make it mobile but the 383 that came in it was toast. I bought he car with the original block and had the 383 short block built by a loacal speed shop. I installed a set of 440 ported and polished heads that they had taken on trade and this thing make 425 HP and 416 Ft. Lbs of tourque.
Any here are a few pics for you inspection.
Hi 68 Sport Satellite thanks for the compliments. Garaged, yes. It's not red, it just shows up that way in most pictures. It is V2, the original Hemi Orange, aka Tor-Red Iridescent. In the sunshine it is a blazing Hemi Orange, in the shade it looks more red, and most pictures it looks red. I attached a few pics to show the color better (and the rake).
Tires are 215-65-15 front and 295-50-15 rear on Stockton TQ.
Nice stuff gentlemen, I am getting close to paint as well and will be going with the origonal turquoise for my `68 Runner, the "DOG".
Was that LL1 surf med. dark turquiose metalic? My 68 was the same color have not seen many that color at all. Mine was primer when I got it & needed a ton of body work. Good luck. Budnicks
