My first REAL car was a '68 Roadrunner. As army pay for a private in '69 was only $89 and the car payment was $92 and change it went away. Picked up a cherry '68 Suprbee a few years later but the oil embargo/gas crunch of the 70s along with a wife and a baby boy a couple of years later forced me to sell it. Now I am back in the saddle with my '68 Barracuda fastback. I wish I cold take the credit for puitting it all together but I have to take my hat off to "JLC" and his crew.
385 hp 360 crate motor, Mighty Demon carb, ss headers and exhaust, aluminum radiator with fan, serpentine belt drive, Holley fuel pump, K&N air filter, 727 with a Hurst DualGate shifter, 8.75 "locker" rear end with 3.23 gears, custom ordered Centerline Razor Billet wheels 17X8 with Micheline Pilot Sport tires (255/45/17 and 215/45/17), all new interior, dyno-tuned with the distributor recurved and the carb set up. A little over 300 hp to the ground, just barely enough horsepower to make it to the grocery store and back. I made a run to 5500 rpm this past Sunday (26" diameter tires) so it will go a tad faster than the speed limit. It still has a few rough edges but ..........
