1970 Roadrunner - again

Very cool!!! My first RR was a used 69, 383 4 speed. In early ?71? I was getting ready to repaint, do the brakes, and a few more things, a friend had a 70 440-6 car. 4 speed, Dana, headers, 800 Holley, the "six pack" was in the trunk. My all time favorite car. If I could afford it, I'd have another one today!!!

I have no good photos anymore, thanks to time, film deterioration, and a house fire. This photo was taken in about 73



Me when I was young, about 72 or so



Our RADAR shop at NAS Miramar, no longer there, out off the W end of the bore sight range, just E of the TACAN building which is still there. This is the "usual" for a weekend at t he shop. We had "24 on, 48 off" duty with GCA This day I'm working on my black '64 426 under the tree, to RR trunk is up for tools. I don't remember who owned the Plum Crazy shaker hood Cuda, he was a casual friend through the Auto Hobby shop where I had a part time job. The Ponch Ventura belonged to a co-worker, and the RR with the hood up to the left of my limelight is Dave's 68 RR. He, much to his brother's and cousins and my own dismay, foregone his great wife, married a young trophy wench, and swore off Mopars a few years back.

I put over a 100K on the clock during the time I had the 70, it had about 35K on it when I bought it. I sold it to "some kid" with a 360!!! short block, and early!!! 273!!! Commando heads and intake!!!! He wrecked it, and would never discuss (to this day) what cliff they shoved it over!!!! I think there was some hittish and runnish involved there!!!!



The car when nearly new and it's original owner, George. He's still with us today. He's just trophied I think at Lions in Pure Stock


AWESOME PICS!!!! I'm still trying to track down photos of my original Roadrunner. Those were the best of times to be a car guy!
