The Greenwood Car Show is arguably the biggest car show in the Pacific North West, with a count of over 800 fine classic cars. I have gone almost every year since I can remember, and have always dreamed of showing off a worthy ride there. This year, I finally got the chance. With two weeks...

I am looking at the numbers on one of my engine blocks and finally found the serial number of the motor as follows: PT383R22161618 From what I could find, the decoding goes like this: PT: Trenton plant 383: 383 cu. in. R: ? 2216: 10,000 day calander date code 1618: serial number for the day...

My 68 roadrunner, built on September 11 of 67 does not have the original 727 transmission and I am wondering what the original model number of transmission would be right for my numbers matching 383. I would like to find a date and model correct transmission, but I have not been able to for sure...

Winter in Seattle and bare metal don't really like each other so, since the heavy rain season is here, I have put away the body of the ca for this year until it gets nice again. It has been completely primed and sealed up and stored in a make shift garage. I took old boards from our house...

The car has come a long way from when I got it. The body is nearly finished being constructed with just a few more trouble spots to fix and some panels to weld on. After spending all my time on the body since 2 winters ago, I decided to take a bit of a break and work on getting the...

One part of my car that still has rust is the cowl. It is only in the two low spots where the heater box and vent connect. I suspect it is a combination of the mice that were living in there, and since that is where water could sit. luckily, the lower cowl on my parts car was much nicer, but...

Today, I was able to get the roof all nice and shine, then got it primered and ready to go. While the roof was sprayed, the work done earlier was sealed as well. At this point the car has been caught up with the rear assembly and are soon going to be joined together. Hurray! Its now been about...

As you can see here, this area is also garbage and has no hope for small patching here and there. The floor pans were also taken away naturally up to the cross member. That is where I had to step in and finish the job. Surprisingly, the front frame had no rust through at all, except for a few...

This runner has had the roof cut almost to the quarter panel seam, all the floors removed, and everything from the inner quarters back taken out (including the package tray and deck filler panel). Most people would call it a lost cause, and they might be right, but I am going to (attempt to)...

I have always heard that the roadrunners were starting to be produced a little later in the 1968 model year, but when exactly was the production started. My 68 has a build date of September 11 1967. Would this be one of the first roadrunners produced? If so, that would be very cool. I had also...

I am going to be installing some new quarter panel on my 68 roadrunner and I am uncertain as to whether or not I weld the gold marked areas on the trunk extension and tail panel to the quarter panel. -Mr.Moe-par

Hey guys, I am wondering if the trim around the instrument cluster is supposed to be black, or chrome in 1968. My Roadrunner was owned by a teenager in the 80's and 90's so I am uncertain if it just got spray painted like the rest of the car. Here are some pictures of what I am talking about...

I am a 15 year old kid and I love Mopars. Very few of my classmates believe me when I say I have a 68 road runner, 68 coronet, and 68 Dart, but it is true. I have a lawn mowing business that I have been running since I was 9 and that was what allowed me to buy my collection . I have slowly been...
