Just thought I'd say hello being the new guy here!
I am the owner of a 73 Road Runner and I have had the car since 94.
It started when I was 18 as a quest to find a Barracuda with only $3,000 in my pocket. Quickly I realized that Cuda's where out of my price range and I "settled" for my car that I found on a tack board with a picture that read "73 Runner $2,800" I fiqured the car will get me through college and then I'd sell it, never did I think that 12 years later I'd love the car!
It started off life as a faded red runner with a beat up 360 and through the years i have dropped a 340 4bbl bored 30 over, 3500rpm stall converter, automatic shift kit and Posi rearend. Then i decided to wrap the car in a bright Lemon Yellow paint job!
I am looking forward to trouble shooting issues, helping out where I can and just plan shareing stories of these 70's Runners.

The above picture was the first day "home" with the car
These pictures are of the old 360 and new 340!

Always nice to meet a fellow 73/74 b-body lover. I had a red one like that years ago, then sold it when I unexpectedly produced offspring (she really liked the car, lol). Sold it in 93 and missed it ever since. I just recently picked up a 73, and am still going over it to figure out what it needs. Got pix if you're interested. gregstpie@aol.com

Beautiful car bro, and welcome to the club!

Hi Mike- glad to see you made it! For those unfamiliar, Mike is the fellow I mentioned in my intro post from DF with the sweet '73 Runner. Having seen the car in person at Carlisle last year, I can say it's as sharp in person as in the pics. (I never knew it started out red, either, until now.)
