1973 Plymouth Road runner. My dad
owns a used car dealership in Longview, Texas, When I was 9 a man
drove this car to the lot wanting to trade it as a down payment. The
car was a little rusted and primered, the car had some family
history as being my uncles stepbrothers car in the 70's, He sold it
to my uncle Joe, He sold it to this man. so in 2001 it pulls in the
drive at the lot. Dad knows the car, so he traded for it. It sat
under the trees at our house for 8 years. When i was 16 my dad
started paying me to work at the lot as a salesman. So I started
working on my Roadrunner, this is what it is after 3 years on work,
I did all the body work myself, and a good job ( not to brag. ) I've
now got a little over $15,000 in it. And soon i intend to put a 426
hemi in it, I have the 4-speed trans, but need to buy the conversion
kit. I can't wait until it's finished, It's been a very fun project,
With a lot of late nights in the garage, lots of busted knuckles!!!!
