i think its safe to say that while you have an awesome Road Runner, it can no longer be classed as a 'survivor'.

Have any shots of the engine without the air cleaner, a little closer to show better details?

Here are a couple survivor Hemi engines. True survivor fans go nuts over engines that look like this, they don't need to look pretty to impress.



What's the story on the bottom Hemi? I've been looking for a '66 Belvedere 4 speed car for the last 40 years. It was in West Virginia at that time, in a barn.

It's a 67 BelvedereI Hemi 4 speed car. Super rare car as none were supposed to be built in 67. As it turns out a handful were built, this one is one of 4 known to exist, 1 of 3 Hemi 4 speed cars. It was found in the Midwest sitting in a garage, it's one of the nicest Hemi survivors you'll see anywhere, any year, simply amazing car. It was purchased and sold a few times since being discovered and now resides in a private collection in Ohio.

One of the (recent) previous owners had the original black wheels powder coated body color because he liked the way it looked better than the black wheels with full wheel covers it originally had. He also changed out the full exhaust system for a reproduction setup. I'm glad he sold it before doing further damage......
