Living the dream!

[JAustin78]

Hello Everyone,
My name is Jared from TN and I just bought my dream car. It needs some work but very excited to have it sitting in the garage. Let ya'll know what little info I have on the car is it has been off the road for a good while, it currently has a 383 out of a 68 RR ( i have the original block), has original 727 in it. I think it has the original rear end but no sure grip (thought sure grip was standard option in the road runner?) Anyway happy to be here and will probably have a lot of questions down the road.

You plan on putting the F8 Green back on the car?

Runners look so perrrrrty in the Green :yesnod:

Not all runners came with the suregrip in them as mine had a 2.76 one legger when I got it.

Good start. What makes you think you have a 68 motor? 68 castings were used in 69, just curious And welcome

I will probably change it back to green, I really like the green look. It was painted blue in the late 70's. I was told the 383 was out of a 68 road runner so I do not know for sure. Previous owner had a bunch of mopars sitting around and parts so it seemed likely. I will post some of the pics I took of the cars he had. One question, was the sequence number stamped on the top of radiator? Thanks for the warm welcome!
