Just became a member last night. Unfortunately I don't own a Roadrunner but a good friend of mine does who's not internet savy at all and is also not mechanically inclined what-so-ever. So I thought, "What the heck, I'll look for a forum and join."
I did though, come very clise to buying a brand new Roadrunner in 1969 after I came out of the Navy. If I did, I would still have it, because the car I did buy that year, I still have.

Anyway my buddy has this show stopping '69 Bahama Yellow Roadrunner with factory air. He had it restored in Georgia. Ocasionally he has had a few issues with it and so I volunteered to help if I can.

After going back and forth to dealerships in 1969...Plymouth to Chevy, Plymouth to Chevy; I finally decided on ordering a '69 Chevelle SS, 396, 4 spd. gold w/black vinyl roof, A/C, and many other options. Unfortunately, a month after I ordered it, I got a call from the dealership telling me they couldn't get my car!! Factory went on strike!!
Great...so I found a used '68 with 15,000 miles on it and bought it. It's still in the family and I'm restoring it for my oldest son. The only Mopar I have is my 2010 B-5 Blue Challenger, Hemi 6 spd. Love it!!

nice ride welcome from n.h.
Thanks. I wish it was mine. As I said, it belongs to a friend who unfortunately isn't very mechanically inclined or computer savvy. So I decided to join the forum in case I needed to gain some knowledge in order to help him out. So chances are I won't be on here too often. But it's a great forum. Lots of cool Roadrunners.:thumbsup:

Russ, your in box was full; was going to send memo on storm concerns, hope it steers clear of your location.

cool breeze, great looking car. I’m in same boat as I don’t have one today either. Still would like to hear on exploits.
