Bucket-list bird
 

Been doing the mopar thing for 44 years[with a couple AMC's], and finally got my bucket-list car. 1968 hemi, road runner. I've literally had 100's of mopars of every shape, engine, etc...but never had a real hemi bird, with the hemi in it. Hell, I even parted one out 30 years ago. So, as I downsize my collecting, I had to get my missing bird. Manual steering, brakes, column auto, bench, and radio delete. The options are deluxe interior and, and exterior décor pkg.

Thank you. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed a real &quot;street car&quot;. It rides better than most guy's cars I know, and really gets with the program. I put my wheels/tires from my hemi-wagon on it, for another &quot;look&quot;. It's back to steelies, now.

Those Cragars sure look sweet though, just saying.

Re: Bucket-list bird
 

x2 Look's Good.

Re: Bucket-list bird
 

Very nice, love the colour combo too! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Awesome car

Re: Bucket-list bird
 

Oh man, AA1 with Blue guts? Gorgeous! My first Mopar was an LL1 68 Runner and it had the decor and light packages. I still have a set of the 68 Plymouth dog dish caps and the 15&quot; steelies tucked away waiting for my Hemi dream car too. One day....

Good on ya! Beautiful chicken! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Nice Beep Beep!!

Re: Bucket-list bird
 

Thanks again. I'm still giddy about it. I have/had quite a bit of stuff, but this thing makes me smile when I walk into my little shop.

Love blue interiors. Especially look good on Silver cars and White cars.

I totally get the tire and wheel thing. I keep going back and forth on my Z between the original Rallyes and the Centerlines.

Gotta agree with Mark though. The Cragars look really good.

Re: Bucket-list bird
 

Love it... very nice

Re: Bucket-list bird
 

Cragars + Hemi + Road Runner = badass.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

Re: Bucket-list bird
 

I like this pic, but the pavement was low under the front of the car, giving it a really &quot;raked&quot; illusion.

silver bullet

Re: Bucket-list bird
 

I like everything about it.... Especially the Cragars

Re: Bucket-list bird
 

Lately, I've really taken a strong liking to blue interiors and Hemi cars. Both wheel/tire combos look great....tough decision.

Re: Bucket-list bird
 

Love that car with the cragars on it, and the nice rake.
I am unfortunately (or is it fortunately?) biased towards cragars on B bodies, as in my case, I dont think my car would look as good with the steel wheels. That one picture on the grass is killer! The cragars look so right on it.
That blue interior looks really good with the silver. Your engine compartment looks so crisp compared to my silver hemi, mine does not look that good. Envious.

Re: Bucket-list bird
 

Awesome color combo [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: Bucket-list bird
 

That is a nice car! I worked with a guy back in the late 70's and he had a 4-speed car, blue with gold interior. I wonder were that car is today
