My Ford buddies think I've come unhinged...

Some of you guys might remember me talking about losing a very, very dear friend of mine last year to cancer. We worked on cars together, hung out together, and he was a mentor to me beyond measure. Well, his wife got his estate dealt with and I was fortunate enough to end up with his '70 Roadrunner:





Original 383 that came in the car is sitting on an engine stand. Car has a built 496 in it right now. Car is straight as an arrow. I'll probably do nice brakes, suspension, wheels, 6 speed and convert it to EFI. But all in due time, too many other projects right now. It just feels good to have this reminder of my dear friend in a safe place.

Very nice not a whole lot of those old Mopars running around, in good shape that is.

BTW hope the horn still works one of the best things about those cars.

Nice, I love the old Mopar stuff.

MOPAR or No Car!

Best part of the whole deal is that it is staying with someone who will appreciate it even more than just the sum of the parts.

Sorry about your buddy but at least it stayed in the family. I consider close friends family.

That thing is nice, sorry about your friend.

[46Tbird]

Great car. I wouldn't change a thing, except find a front bumper without the Dennis Gage bumper guards. I always hated those.
