Fixing what I already have. I have every dream car I ever wanted but now I have to fix them
A few nice ones on Ebay right now.
Only one '68 RR hardtop 4spd on eBay right now (burgundy with white top) and it's one that's been listed many times over the past year for the simple reason it's overpriced at $49k.
This...finishing,the '72 Scamp ,70's street racing vibe.Finish the 65 formula s I have. I was off last week and the humidity was so high it would have been impossible to paint.
What an,awesome gesture, of family and friendship.You know we all hear about the guy that has had his old mop for like ,,ever.
Well, this was mine back in 1976. Thru the years it was parted out to no more than a shell.It move around this friend had it for awhile, then another,then the son of another. It was a 'someday car". You know "Some day I'm gonna put that thing back together". Well 2 years ago my high school friend for over 40 years and my brother suprised me with my old wreck. They did all the body work and paint,installed the glass and told me to finish the car.So far it's been sitting in the trailer.I got a parts car(I actually had it before they did this) and have been gathering parts to complete it.Yeah, it sure has been a "Bucket List" project. Like you Mike I ain't gettin' any younger !!!

Nope, but you might be? 4 of the 5 listings above are for RM21 RR's. RM21 is a 'post RR' while RM23 is a 'hardtop' RR. You're 20% right but 80% wrong.
Your last link is a RM23 RR 4spd that didn't appear when I searched last night for 1968 Plymouth Road Runner and still doesn't show up when I search now. However, the posting has been up for a while (August 20). It's a late build '68 yet the description doesn't say if it's a numbers matching engine so it's probably not. The under coating on the bottom could also be hiding stuff. For $36k it's a little over priced which is why it hasn't sold yet. Great color though!
I always thought those were cool. I like the Mirada's too.One of the last two on a so-called bucket list would be something like this, 81-83 Imperial, other would be a 57-59 Dodge 2-door coupe

I still looking for an early 340 or 360 block so I can put the 416 internals in it. According to the time slips I got from the car it was in, it was 2800 lbs & went 9.40s. My car is 2500 lbs with me in it, so on paper I should be in the low 9s. I've been patient, but I really want to get it built & in the car this winter so I can go play next spring.
