A buddy of mine got a beautiful blue new '68 Roadrunner for graduation. Nobody could believe how lucky he was, and how cool we were cruising Euclid Ave in it. Chrysler was building some pretty radical street cars in the late 60s and early 70s, and the stripped out and relatively cheap (under 3K) Roadrunner was in the mold of the R, a company built hotrod of a car. Keep the Superbird, I'll take one of the first year Roadrunners. And there is the alleged Brock Yates connection...... Beep beep!

When my friends were running a GT350, boss 302, '65 GTO, Roadrunner, GTX etc, I was hot rodding BMW 2002s and road racing. Handling was everything to me but just not in their calculations at all! My firend David could shift that GTO leaving about 2' of clean pavement between slabs of burn-out rubber. His successful father put a Nascar motor in it. That's what defined a pissah cah to them (not that there's anything wrong with it). [wink]
