I've been driving my 68' 383 auto roadrunner almost daily now for the last couple of weeks.

50,000 Original miles on engine and Tranny never been rebuilt.

And Wow! It has some crazy torque and hauls [Edited by Moparts - Keep it clean] for such a big car.

It definitely feels like a solid 14 second car.

could be a 13 sec car , my 69 Dart at 3600 w/driver is running 14 teens at almost 100 mph last time i had it out , only non stock item was the exhaust , 2.5" mandrel bent system .

You might want to change out the timing chain , here's mine , 56k ORIGINAL miles ...

YMMV

We put some miles on ours last week. We did a local MG club SCCA ralley. About 80 miles of driving the car through back roads I never new existed. We were never more than about 10 miles from home, just did a big circle. Was a blast and the folks were freindly. We won a couple of awards. We had the most correct answers (there were clues in the route sheet, and the answers were somewhere in the section). And we won loudest/largest/biggest gas guzzler. Well it was, against the many MGs, Lotus', Mini coopers and such. We were actually pretty tired after. It was fun to drive the car, and since they were on a lot of back roads, we opened it up a few times
