I go to an art show in Belleville Illinois. The buildings and the streets look like that. They block off the streets for blocks and the town center. I park in the back by a place that looks like where your car is parked. It's a Mexican joint that serves the best margaritas, by the pitcher. I've learned never drink a pitcher before you walk a few miles. Felt like 20 miles!! Pay attention now, I'm giving life lessons for free here!! LOL.I made enough of a contribution to hey-o, time for a little fun. We have great down town with some great little shops, one of them is a new butcher shop so I thought I’d stop by. This car is fantastic, and really a testament to a properly built hot rod. Cruise down the highway? Sure. Idle around town like a Honda civic but waaay cooler? Why not. Drop a gear and do awesome burnouts? Well even though it tootles around town like a Honda civic it is a muscle car after all

It looks fantastic just standing still, don't move!! Love the hood!!First trip to the track this year, trying out the new Edelbrock AVS2.
Despite feeling fantastic on the street it was slower than the Holley.

I love all makes of car and make no excuses for my feelings. That 427 in a Camaro pulled like a fright train and was a joy to drive. Hard to find these days. Thanks for sharing!!I went up to the 1st annual “Cheerleader Show”, a fundraiser for our schools cheerleaders. Not a huge turnout , but some very unique rides. Not many Mopars except my Roadrunner, my buddies GTX, and a 65 pro street Satellite, but the stars for me were these couple of vehicles. Yea, I know, not Mopars, but since I appreciate all classic cars, I just thought I’d share.
427 1969 Kingswood wagon, with A/C
1960 Scout Camper, one of 50 made, only 5 known to be left
1973 or 74 Grand Prix SJ
1964 GTO convertible.
All new arrivals to our local crop, all welcome to show up anytime!

There’s a clapped out old Camaro in my buddies yard. When I asked him why he was keeping it, he opened the hood…..yep, 427. The car is just enclosed storage for the engine!I love all makes of car and make no excuses for my feelings. That 427 in a Camaro pulled like a fright train and was a joy to drive.

One of the biggest problem's you'll face is that much of your potential market is of a similar age as you....and have similar feelings on the subject.It's time to downsize to a manageable heard. I have a lot of difficult choices to make. I spent many years accumulating what I have ,but I don't want to leave my wife or kids an unmanageable mess,only for them to sell off everything I worked for, for pennies on the dollar.
Back at you, feel the same about your Road Runner!Beautiful car, and a very beautiful color. I think I’m in love!
Not only is it a sweet ride, I like red, alot!! LOLLeaving from Carlisle for the drive home. Awesome gathering as always, FBBO making it even better. Cold a/c and functioning radiator, good as gets.
