69-1/2 440 six bbl Post Roadrunner

John's 69-1/2 440 six bbl Post Roadrunner (that's a mouthfull!). A Post car" has the B-pillar between the front & back seat windows.
It's a real VIN numbered "M" car which means it came with a lift-off hood. The color is Chrysler's "Vitamin C Orange".
It's got a 4-speed trans pushing a 4.10 Dana rear end.

I'm a huge muscle car fan, so that gets me all excited, thanks. The matte black Mopar hoods were so sharp. I think that the carbon fiber ricers just want to look like that!

Anyways, I am curious about the frame you put around the pictures of the car. I like how it's got the slightly darkened outline. It sets the car out a bit without intruding. I had to pay attention to see it. Nice touch.

I'm going to need to go to a show soon and snap a few.

Well Frank, With those particular options, ie; 440 Sixpak, 4 spd trans, and a Dana 60 diff loaded with 4:11's, that is one SWEET Bird! (Roadrunner voice on)Meep meep!(Roadrunner voice off.) What did you expect? Beep, Beep?

Love that car!!!!!!!!!

ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY MY FAVORITE MUSCLE CAR!!!!

Wouldn't that thing just fry those little taxi-cab tyres?

Thanks guys! I liked them all, but the Road Runners & Chargers just said "Muscle Car" even when they were sitting still!

I thought I'd try something different. A Levels Adjustment Layer comes with a mask, so darken everything, then fill the center of the mask with black.

Great car to photograph and a great car to drive. I did a photoshoot for a magazine on one of those a few years back and got to drive it.

YOU POOR GUY! (I drove mine for 13 years!)

Well, some of them, the ones with a rear wing... but this Roadrunner from front and back (except for the front hood) looks everyday. From the side you can see mag wheels and 2 doors. Now a plain Camaro or a Mustang looks more sporty/muscly from any angle.

When the Muscle car was in it's heyday, the line up was GTO, Roadrunner, 442, GTX, big block Camaros and Mustangs, etc. The Camaro and Mustang were actually called "Pony" cars. YES, this Roadrunner equipped the way it is was the RAW definiition of a Muscle Car. Anybody that was involved in the Street Scene will immediately recognize this as fact.

Hahaha! OK, DONE.
In those days I was the Guy in the 67 442 with a little more under the hood than most folks expected, and guess what some of my favorite prey were? YUP, Mustangs and Roadrunners.
