Road Runner Nest

hi, i hope that i am welcome here because, to be honest, my car is not a roadrunner, but a 72 satellite that has been cloned to be a roadrunner (see picture). i think it is a prettty decent clone, because it's not the usual "let's put some decals on it" clone, but has a 440 engine, the roadrunner hood and even the 11" drum brakes in the back that were, as far as i know, only available on roadrunners i know it has the wrong grille for that year but i am working on it . i bought the car on ebay.com 3 years ago, flew from germany to alabama and took it to germany. since then i have done a helluva lot of work on the car, for example a complete restauration last year when the car received it's original color again, which is GY8, Gold Leaf Poly. i drive the car as much as the gas prices in germany allow me to (imagine 8$ a gallon), but this takes its toll (rust), which is the reason i found this forum in the first place – but i will ask tech questions later

sweet, man!

Beautiful car! How does it do on the autobahn (Sp?)?

Welcome! Yes, your car is welcome here, cuz this site is for ALL the '71-'74 Plymouth b-bodies, not just the Runners and GetXs...

Very sweet car! I'd love to see pics of that car in typical traffic over there. I bet it really stands out in the crowd of Fiats, Bimmers and Mercs!

i have to admit that i never ran the car full throttle on the autobahn … 110 Miles an hour was the Max … other than that it's pretty 50/50 to drive a car like that. you get a lot of attention, but we have a lot of tiny roads, and parallel parking is a must. my manual steering lasted exactly 5 before i yanked it out again

Nice lookin car, Welcome from Alaska!

Welcome to the nest!
Sure we love at 71-74 Plmouth b-bodies here!
Love that Gold Leaf Poly paint!
