Pics of our new Mopar

[694spdRT]

Thought I would post some pics of the '72 Roadrunner that we brought home a little while ago. It hasn't moved out of the shop yet because of the weather and roads up here.

It's a pretty nice addition to the herd and restored close to stock....but there is a little twist you guys might like.

Sweet looking 'Runner

[mikesbbody]

awesome RR  when are you gonna tell us about the twist?

[bull]

That's cool. I'd love to have one.

[694spdRT]

Couple more. 

[Shakey]

Looks fantastic!

   I WANT THAT CAR 

[694spdRT]

awesome RR  when are you gonna tell us about the twist?

Here's the twist. The car is a factory 400 4 speed and was restored that way. You guys probably know that I'm a sucker for original 4 speed cars.

Unfortunately, on the way home from Mopar Nats the previous owner was driving along and the timing chain let loose and trashed the 400. Instead of finding a replacement 400 he decided to put this thing in.

VERY nice!!! 

[Magnumcharger]

That's not only a twist, but a chassis twister!!
Nice!!

It's a 528 Hemi backed by a 5 speed Keisler and we have frame ties ready to go in before summer.

What Model trans ?? What  is the 1st gear ratio ?? What size rear diff ??

[69charger2002]

ooh la la i like that one.. congrats!

[Ghoste]

That's one way to fix a busted timing chain. 

[ChgrSteve67]

Man I want to go for a ride in that car!!!

I bet it passes the $100 bill on the dash test.

[mikesbbody]

That's not only a twist, but a chassis twister!!
Nice!!

agreed! WAY better than a 400 

[purple70rt]

[tan top]

No....I hadn't mentioned it yet but my wife and I are expecting a baby boy in June.    It is our first child so we are trying to prepare for very little and a lot of  in the very near future.   

[Brock Samson]

congrats to you and Dads'69 both on your recent and future acquisitions...   

[Manfred318]

Sweet

I checked the fender tag to confirm the engine, tranny, and color combo. Some of the other stuff has been added. I know the air grabber hood and rear window louvers were added. I don't know on the chin spoilers and rear wing yet. The interior is original except for the recovering of the front seat and the carpet.

We really had been shopping for a '71 GTX with a 4 speed when this showed up. The car is from California and rock solid so that was a big plus.....and the Hemi helped too.

I really haven't had much time too spend on it since we got it. I looked at them when we bought it but can't remember the size right now. They are a little wider than the F70-14 Redlines on the Charger though.

[charger_mike75]

Very nice find.

rav440,

I checked again and the rear tires are 295/50/R15's. I don't know if the Magnums are custom made or not.

[Rolling_Thunder]

Hey...    I got one of dem '72 Road Runners nested at the shop

This was also an original 400 4-speed car but the owner replaced the 400 with a 440....     Nice car man            I think Ralleys would look better though     either way it looks bad ass!

[694spdRT]

The Magnums probably wouldn't have been my first choice either if I had done it but they do look good on the car.

Truthfully, I don't care for the 72+ center caps on the Rallye's. I prefer the 70 or 71 Rallye's with the cone type caps.

Agreed - the only reason mine are staying on there is they came with the car        Again - Sweet ride man!

Nice looking car you have there as well. 

I have always liked the bodystyle of the 71-72 Plymouths.
