My dad had a '68 in yellow/black with the 383.

A cool car that I'd like to own someday, but not sure I'd trade lefty for it.

[mrvette]

An old buddy of mine had one NEW back in the daze.....can't remember the year though.....been a while.....

:seasix::hurray:

[Milton Fox]

It was either '68 or '69... :toetap:

[ApexOversteer]

Looking at the AutoTrader Classics search (http://www.autotraderclassics.com/find/vehicle/vehicleSearchResults.xhtml?conversationId=708036&firstRecord=1&numRecords=25&distance=0&address=&startYear=1968&endYear=1968&minPrice=&maxPrice=&make=Plymouth&model=Roadrunner&keywords=&sellerType=All&refined=true), seems like a deal if it looks decent once you pull it out of the coffin they've got it in.

[Grey Ghost]

Probably a good deal, if the 17k is for real and nothing changed from the factory.

[VatorMan]

Sell 3 or 4 of your trucks and go buy it.

[Doug28450]

Sell 3 or 4 of your trucks and go buy it.

That gets him to $5000.00.

[DukeAllen]

That gets him to $50.00.

[Defib1961]

Hell, I would give your left nut too.

[Sneaks]

So basically you're saying you would take $14K for your left nut. Seems pretty cheap to me........:leaving:

[Steve Austin]

Cool car. Be cooler if it was a 4 speed. Price is too low, so I expect something is not right with it.:cert:

[polarbear]

Friend still has the '68 Purple Haze Road Runner he bought in High School. Sitting under some blankets and a bunch of crap in his garage. :sadangel:

[RED-85-Z51]

id really like a 70 over a 68, but my dads first new car was a 68 and I always wanted to feel that feel he felt.

[RedLS1GTO]

...I always wanted to feel that feel he felt.

You mean your mom?

Nah...the sound of a 383 with a Big Holley on it, uncapped long tubes, cheater sicks melting down in the burnout box....3500...dump the clutch, and wind out every gear down the track, and hope to god manual drum brakes are enough to get you stopped at the end. He bought the car new..drove it off the lot, stopped at the parts store, bought cutouts, headers, intake, carb, slicks, went home, put it all on...and the next day, made a dozen passes getting it dialed in.

His dad worked for Warner/Swayze and they were testing out the first in-tank electric fuel pumps, and after my dad dropped a race due to vapor lock...they installed the pump in his tank, installed a regulator and a return line...looked stock under the hood, no one ever knew...and it never vapor locked again.

Sent it to my BIL with the 440 RT and Viper Cuda. :rofl:

[snide]

OK, Terrific.

Back in the 60's my '67 Grand Prix had issues with vapor lock on the suck side of the pump, in summer heat....stock as a stove, I put a Carter electric pump in back, pushing forward, and eliminated the mechanical pump, problem solved, the car had a Carter AFB from the factory on it.....so no issues with knocking the needle valve open and flooding out....like on a QJ, I ran the same pump in another car with the QJ, and took a large resistor from a color TV, ran it in series with the pump, knocking back the pressure, ran that way for decades....

True story about a '68 Road Runner. My uncle bought 1 brand new... yellow/black, 383, 4speed.

Shortly after he headed off with the Army and my dad bought it from him as a 17 year old, what could possibly go wrong, right? 1 day after work dad was showing off and did a massive burnout leaving the lot. The right rear tire blew and did some significant damage to the inner fender when it did. The exterior wasn't hurt.

Fast forward a few decades and young me hears stories of this Road Runner nonstop. Sometime around 2002, we go to the Pumpkin Run (a HUGE car show near where I grew up). Among the masses is a yellow/black, '68, 383, 4 speed Road Runner. Dad proceeds to again tell the story about leaving work... the owner of the car happened to be standing right there and overheard. He had just 2 years earlier completed the full restoration of the car. What was the only major damage on it? You guessed it... a mangled inner right rear fender. After some digging, we confirmed that what I was looking at was my dad's old Road Runner, in absolutely immaculate, fully restored, show winning condition.

The owner did not (does not) want to sell it, even at a premium. I keep in contact and pester him somewhat regularly. Mark my words. Someday I WILL own that car.
