My 68 roadrunner is missing it's original radiator. Where can you find an original for a decent price. I think $200 for a core is resonable are there any out there?

What radiator number are you looking for?
2898045 is the radiator number. Funny you mention Glen Ray the first radiator I ever bought was from Glen Ray over 20 years ago as I'm originally from central Wisconsin.
Thanks for the replies.

I saw that but $325 plus shipping then for my sanity because everything else is new a core rebuild puts me at almost $700. I guess I'm picky but I'm looking for a core to build.

Good luck, the 045 radiator is a hard one to find, I looked for three years & finally had to step up...

Yup $700 no wonder so many cars are riding around with aluminum radiators. There's a couple of swap meets coming up so hopefully I can score. But if need be I'll write the check.

took a while for me to even find the "043" which is only the 383 4-speed one. e-bay is your best bet
I have an 043 that I found while searching for an 045, figured I'd use it if need be till I found an 045...

Glen ray is too expensive for most of their radiator's. If it's for a Hemi car then that's a good choice cause originals are up there in $$$. But for a 383 car that they made tons of it's not worth it...Those radiator's are ALL Hemi priced.... 
With all due respect and no intentions of  , but that is the same as saying Legendary auto interiors 1968 Roadrunner seat covers/door panels are all hemi priced.
My point is, on many parts in the resto business the part costs what it cost regardless of whats under the hood or the 5th character in the VIN .
I can understand and appreciate being on a budget, but $200 for the OP application in decent condition needing a recore may be tough to find. I will wish him luck finding a deal just the same .

No problem I pound the pavement a lot and have come up with some good stuff every now and then. I was given 2 T/A / AAR radiators for free a couple of years ago.

Chet's Auto Parts ad in MCG has what you want.
I bought a 375 from him a couple of years ago
for a little over 200, another rare one, the tanks were in
excellent condition. I had it recored and it
looks great.
Even one of our sponsors, Tony's Parts, has one
listed on his website.
