I hope that some one looks at my car like that some day.
Geezz that wound suck if they thought all my mods were part of some kind of resto
Anyway:
LOVE the Roadrunner. I always liked them better before they started putting the cartoon bird and the dust trail behind on the side of the car.
Cartoons don't really convey (in my mind) the term American muscle car.
Oh BTW they have 2010 concept versions of the Roadrunner and the Barracuda. I would love to see these cars make it back into the mainstream again.

This is what I saw yesterday:
It was at a Corvette show at a Home Depot up the street from me. More people were looking this over than any of the Vettes. The guy was real nice about talking about it. It wasn't a concours car but he drives it; I've seen it running around the area for the last 15 years!
BTW, the A/C in that Road Runner is aftermarket. An origibnal unit will look like this:
Useless trivia... people have converted those compressors to air compressor pumps for on-board compressed air systems for work trucks and off-roading.

i cant recall when they starded using the harrison/sanborn rotary swashplate piston units but it wasnt uncommon for someone to buy a car then a year or two down the road have a dealer installed ac tossed in like my gramps did with his newport.
ahhh the york style compressors...i have the single cylinder unit for my truck...gotta make it fit on the 460 so i can haz 200psi air at the track...or for the train horns
more usless knowledge...you can use the rotary units for compressed air also, but you have to have an oiler on the inlet and a drier on the outlet where the yorks had oil only in theri "crankcase" and pumps without oil in the air path for lubrication
that barricuda is sweeet now if they can ditch those 20's and make a lightweight option delete model
