Road Runner Nest

Congrats.....


I think I figured it out the other day and decided I might have enough $$ for a cardboard box on a street corner to retire to when I reach the age of 115.

I was thinking about a vintage air system for mine even though the only kit they make for mopar is 1970-74 Challenger/Barracuda New Gen IV Kit. I have heard it works fine but still a bit skeptical. Vintage air is only about a hr south of me and I have thought about going down there and talking with ...

I know what you mean back in high school we use to say every decal that is put on a car adds 5 to 10 more horsepower.

ah yes forgot about the pistons but thats about the only difference right?

Nice car... welcome to the nest.

I always thought the HP and 6-pack motors all used the same internals as well... the heavier forged crank and rods I thought the difference is what is on top of the motor. A six pack block like that seems like it would only be valuable to the car it came from. (matching #s)

Welcome to the site....



and what is up with all the recent GTX owners showing up... in like the last 6 months we have added more '71 GTXs then what was on the board since I joined.

Wow I didn't think anyone was going to respond back to this thread when I posted it I just watched it work its way down the new topic list to the bottom then on to other pages .... only took almost 7 months but someone posted to it \o/.

Ryan I'm suprised on how good of condition those tips look when you compare it to the bottom of the quarter in that pic. My car, the body was solid when I bought but the insides of the tips were mostly rotted away. Those tips looked better then mine did when I bought my car.

Hell when my car was 'factory original' I was still in diapers and the way things are going now the next time I get to drive it again I will be back in diapers.

that black GTX you posted the pic of its hard to see the size of the tip from that angle but if its the same one TX9GTXN96 linked to the tips look like shorties to me. Can really be hard to tell.

I'm pretty sure the Yellow GTX has the short tips




I'm pretty sure the distance I illustrated isn't from the camera angle

Well you see so much more talk about numbers matching and such when dealing with mopars as a hobby then if you are building a Ford or Chevy. You get into dealing with those other makes they dont seem to bring up the issue as much as we do in the Mopar hobby and I'm not sure why. I remember when I pu...

Yeah that car has been for sale by either Texas Toy Box or Lucas Motors for awhile.... I forget which one and to lazy to look it up. !st time I saw that pic I knew something wasn't right ...
