Your old dream (car). What happened?
It wasn’t mine, but it was and will always be my dream car. It was my dads car, that started a lifelong love of Mopars, and cars in general. He only had it one year, when January of ‘71 came along, he and my Mom got laid off from Burroughs, where they both worked. They panicked, and sold the car and bought a 6 cyl 3 speed Duster. The RR was last seen up on blocks behind Shelley’s Chicken in old town Plymouth, Mi, with the motor pulled. Probably over revved and blew the motor. We’ve been looking for it ever since, but it’s probably gone for good.
On a good note, I did finally get a 6bbl Roadrunner of my own, and although it’s not my dads old car, it came through the same dealership as Dads did. I’ll have to settle for that, I guess, which is t really a hard thing to do!
