Besides give it to someone!!!

Can't decide what to do with my 68 Road Runner that is a strip/street car with 8 point roll bar,race seats,no back seat and mild drivetrain that pushes it to 10.90'S in the 1/4...

It's a 383 4-spd post car that's not been cut up and i have all the stock/factory parts with the exception of seats to put it back stock.
Engine is not #'s matching tho...

OR..

Do i cage it,cal track it,dana 60 it and install a fresh 493" lowdeck stroker with indy sr heads that made 780hp on the pump set up for spray just hanging out on the engine stand...

OR..

Just leave as is to rot away under the car cover over in the corner of the garage...I think i'm ready for a change as i've owned it since 96 and basically like it sets..

What say you !!!!

keep it original u could always get a junker and race it

It will be worth way more to you if you do what you want with it and enjoy yourself.Make it a BEAST!

if you are tired of it, sell it and build somthing else. or park it and build something else. or cut it up, or restore it.


You have left a big open ended question without parameters, budget, time comstraints, how you plan on using it, is there a drag strip near you ect. ect. ect.

Put the 493 in it and have fun.

It's your car, enjoy it as you see fit! Removing a cage later is not that big of a deal. CalTracs are a bolt on. You have the motor..... Do you see where I'm going with this?????

I have the same dilemma with my '69 - infact its even the same color as yours !! The car has no significant value restored and would likely cost 3 times its value to restore anyhow. Do whatever will give you the most pleasure!

Put the 493 in it and have some fun with it. You already have the car and the motor. Might as well get some use out of both.

leave it alone and beat on it some more...

Install the 493, don't cut/hack on it, and only spray if it needs a little more help to get that warning at the track (9.99 time slip.)
Have another sets of tires and make all the lights function. Friday night, cruise!
That's what I'd do...

I`d keep doin what you`ve been doin and enjoy it..........very good looking and running car.

Car looks great!! I vote for the 493 and a Passon 5 spd.

Big motor and go have fun with it

What a great looking car! That's probably the nicest 68 Runner I've ever seen. You asked for opinions so here is mine, I would not do anything more to it that would remove it from stock. I might tweak it a bit to make it faster but I wouldn't cut or weld anything else on it. 10.90 for a stock looking ride like that is a fun car anyway.
I loved project six pack the way it was, when they redid that car they did a beautiful job on it but I sure don't like it as much as I did before.

you got silverfish,.,,,,,why you need ANOTHER racecar??

LOL.....

Leave this one alone....drive it and thats it

with all the stress that car is giving you on what to do with it you should just sell it to me and your problems would be over.
just keep it clean and drive it. looks good.

Keep a week open in Sept and go on DragWeek and have a BLAST!

All I can say is, I wish I had your problem ( dilemma ).
Do what pleases you man..........it's only a car and you can't take it with you.

Drive the poop out of it..
