Another all MOPAR car of mine...I've owned this R.R. since the mid 90's that we don't race or drive much anymore(another one put aside under the cover).Won my first street legal race(at the track that is) in 97 wih it and Scott won the IHRA div.4 bracket finals in 99 with it.At one time he won three races in a row at Red River Raceway in Shreveport,La..Won more with this car than any we owned and it was feared at numerous tracks for years ...Current combo-440 0.30 over with eddy heads from Nick @ compu-flow with his stage-2 porting and his comp cams specked cam(flat tappet 620ish lift)-727 trans is from Dynamic as is the 9.5 4500 convertor(deadly)-rear is a braced 8 3/4 with 4.10 gears and S.S. springs..Runs 10.90's @ 120+ mph with this setup...Has been 10.30'S @ 130+ with a indy sr headed roller 440 n/a and low 6'S on the 1/8th with spray.Oh yea it weighs 3385# without driver...I can say without hesitation we've had more fun with this car than any we've owned

Nice car. Besides the aftermarket race stuff, the obvious thing is the GM alternator. Do I win the car?

Very nice runner you have there , love that color! Reading your bio on the car very similar to ours. Our car features stock rear springs, cal tracs, 4.10 geared dana 60, pump gas fed 505 with full exhaust out the back and runs 10.47 @129 best so far and can still cruise it to the burger joint.When on the strip I run 9" Hoosier drag radials and on the street 275 60 15 M/T street drag radials. BTW the Hoosiers took a full 2/10's off over the old M/T 10.5 29 15 bias slicks.

Dude, you're killin' me! That's pretty much what I wanted to build for my next project (but with a big-inch low-deck), but instead I'm doing my '64 wagon.
You really should enclose that battery; I would think that would be a problem passing Tech.

and a firewall and master cut off switch, are you buddies with the tech guy? just kidding but i'm going through all that stuff now 'cause i put my batt in the trunk. i run a stock fuel tank so a batt box was all i needed but was told i had to install the switch, otherwise i would have run mine like yours, looks sharp, really nice car, love that colour, is that sunfire yellow?

I have a lowdeck 493" with indy sr heads that makes 773HP on the engine stand,its fresh and all can do to keep from installing it in the road Runner...If you look close where the rear pass side marker goes you can see the cutoff switch and there is a rear firewall.Never been hassled about battery box...Yes its Sunfire Yellow..
