What's happenin' fellas,

I've been lookin for an affordable driver 68-69' Charger for some time now and came to the conclusion that I cannot afford the ones in Southern Ontario, so I picked up my second choice:  70' 383/727 Plymouth Satellite cloned into a 70' Road Runner... she ain't a Charger, but she'll defintiely do!  She was originally a 318 car, but thanks to a totalled 69' Road Runner, she got her parts. 

I plan on an engine rebuild and a Reilly Motorsports suspension upgrade... after paying for the marriage... and home+furnishing it... fiancee wants kids in 2 years...

I like the color, cop wheels and dog dish caps.
I may be moving out Niagra way soon so you may see another 70 around...altho not sublime.
That Chatham cruise with 1000+ cars in May sounds like the show to go to.

It has been fun, but the organizers have made it "less" fun the last year.  It got very rigid with only a single pass through town permitted and a strictly held route for the cars to follow after their "discharge" from the parade.  It will be interesting to see what happens next year as there were a lot of complaints about this but if the right people dont hear them and people choose to voice their complaint by not attending then it will start to die.

Can't get a better second choice than that. That's the way I would go. The Road Runner,  especially the '70, has a real "battle ready look" about it.

That's a clean ride.. Love the fact that it isn't original and you can actually drive it. keep the color. Lime green on a B-Body with dog dishes looks awesome.

Cruise it and have some fun, till you can buy your dream car.

Nice looking rig. The 68-70 Belvedere bodies are great looking cars. I can't say which year I'd pick... I like all 3.
I'm sure its a color change... right? Good thing they skipped the dreaded BLACK engine bay !!

I'd drive it. Tried to buy one myself a few years ago the were asking $1800.00. Of course someone jumped on it before I could get to it. I was thinking 70 GTX clone at the time.
