Hello my name is Tom and I have owned this RR since the late 70's and am the 2nd owner. I have had a blast driving this car on weekends and on sunny days to work and shows, The RR has been to many Mopar Nats over the years even driven to Chrysler Proving Grounds in Mich. I had parked the RR in the late 80s due to raising a family and job change, Now I am happy to say its out of the air cintrolled basement and getting a complete makeover, I contacted Muscle Motors and had them build me a 69 440 to 505 cubic inches, Then had ProMax dial in six bbl intake and carbs, The 727 was treated to all the goodies with a 3,500 stall converter, Out back I swapped the 3.23's for 3.91's. Keeping with the theme, I have a 6 bbl hood and black steel wheels, I have kept everything whenever I want to turn my bird back to the fatory 383 even with its A/C !! I will add more photos soon ....even some that I had found of other birds back in the day. Tom
