      I offer massive respect to you for not flipping it and getting a Prius or a mini van. That car is a legacy and a not so silent reminder of how far we've slipped.
      That car comes from a time when giants walked the earth. The spirit of Duane Allman, Ronnie van Zandt and Sonny Barger lives on in a machine like that.
      If you feel like it, go back to the top of the comments page and take a look at what I wrote. I got inspired that day, and the poet in me floated up to the surface. I think I did OK on it.

    It’s been my father life long dream to have roadrunner . Just like you he knows he can’t find a real roadrunner and growing up as a kid all I would hear is my dad say how he could build a roadrunner clone out of a satellite! We have a 383 that needs a forged internally balanced crank unfortunately the original crank bit the dust so way back whe PAW was around performance warehouse! The only cranks they had were junk cast cranks from 400 ci. So long story short has the less desirable crank but pretty much same topend build as yours. Got a 727 with a shift kit and a tci 2800 stall all been sitting in a shed since early 2000’s . Waiting for a satellite shell to be built around it! Your living the dream !

Perhaps I'll try one one day. LOL.

    Best TH-cam road test in years. Totally watchable start to end. Enthralling! Not that I’m bias. Just putting together my own 69 Wreckrunner in Kiwiland. I know you’ve been here and see the Mopar’s. Anyway the Runners sat up since 87, maybe in a barn, in California. Between yours and Birdsongs tips, my 383 4speed is coming along well sleeper styles and should hopefully upset the shiny ones a bit 🤣

    Good luck on the car. I’m waiting on a 69 Mustang Fastback my dad left me after a frameoff restomodding. He got it in the late 90s off the first owner with just about everything it came with new. It was a bit ratted out from sitting outdoors for over a decade at least. Almost done but the waiting is killing me. Love to see others bring any car back from the brink. I owned a pretty rough 65 coupe with a 289 and 4 speed no other extras. Drums all around and no air or power steering. Still loved driving it as it was an experience. Had to sell it after getting out the army and starting a family.
