I can't get a really good pic of the car at the moment, - so this will do for now:

Jim's Road Runner

I've just bought a Road Runner to join the two E bodies I've already got. I like E bodies but there is no doubt a B body is a better car to drive, - especially 71 onwards cars. So i have been keeping a look-out for a nice 71 Plymouth. Well, i've found one and i bought it yesterday. - 'Sorry no pics ...

My Cuda didn't come with a hockey stripe either. Mine came originally with a horrible side moulding (V5W) Yuk! (that didn't get included when the car was restored.) V6W would have been a white hockey stripe, - except Mopar never offered a hockey stripe in white, - only V6X:- black. But why not put a...

I like 'em Dunc.

I would much rather own a '69 500 than an R/T, - not just because they are rare, but i like the style better, - and they are different.

Anyway, congrats to Paul, - it's good to see such cars coming here from the USA. I am looking forward to seeing it next year, - at the Nats?

Now Sandy, .. I said they built 580, - but as you probably know that is not necessarily true. There were accusations that Chrysler had some cars 'counted twice' and the true figure is actually around 360 cars. The problem was because they were only available with 440 or Hemi engines they couldn't se...

I wonder how many people on this board realise just how rare and desirable a 1969 Dodge Charger 500 is? It ain't like the 1970 Charger 500. The 1969 Dodge Charger 500 was the forerunner to the Daytona, and shares a similar (XX29) VIN*. In an effort to streamline the Charger for NASCAR racing, a flus...

You need to jack the car under the joint, - so the suspension is still loaded.

Hi Dave. Going back to 1980 i seem to recall you sold the car to John Bowden from Northolt.... is that right? Then i think he sold it to Jim (? - forgotten his surname), - he owned the car for years, and did a lot of work to it. Prior to that, i sold a yellow '66 Coronet to John Bowden, which he str...

That's interesting. Re-chroming plastic is always a problem. A lot of B-body dash parts are chromed plastic which often looks scruffy when it's old. I know some people have sent their plastic parts to the States for re-chroming. Anyway, can your friend re-chrome plastic? That involves removing the o...

That's the problem with a lot of repro parts. Wherever possible it's always best to restore original parts rather than replace with repro. Having said that, i replaced the door handles on my '69 Road Runner some years ago, the new ones were perfect. All i had to do was swap over the buttons because ...
