That one above is definitely not my taste but s long as the owner likes it that`s all that matters and how someone spends their money is their choice. It is great to hear you drive your road runner, IMO nothing worse than a cool, fast muscle car that only sees a garage, trailer and show field.
There was no "attack" intended and maybe I mistook your post as well as it seemed kind of "braggy" to me.. Sorry if it came across that way, good for you that have the resources to be able to have that built. My point was that it doesn`t NEED to cost anywhere near that much whether you do the...
Looks like a very nice, high end build. Yes, anything can be restored but it doesn`t have to cost anywhere near that much. If you look at the restoration threads you can see some of us do a lot of our own work. I am restoring my road runner in my garage and plan to have less than $40k into it...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I`m working hard on my road runner dream hoping to have it painted and maybe cruising next year but we`ll see how that goes. :p
