Yes, I found it on E-bay, and since it was just in the next town over, I drove it home! The owner seemed kind of like one of those shady guys in the business, or at least he owned a lot of cars, but at least I got my Road Runner (although if you really inspect it closely, there are/were a lot of things that were really jury rigged).

The car has changed a bit since then. I replaced the lower door panels, bought an engine harness, new spark plugs, voltage regular and, subsequently, battery, Edelbrock shocks (Chevy ones on the front, modified), 11.75-inch rotors/new calipers, new rear drums/shoes, and replaced the cheap cracked Centerlines with Weld Rodlites (15x10 rear, 15x7 front).

Where are you in Hemet? I used to live in San Jacinto.....those look like Centex homes. I was in the Hemet area for more than 10 years, lived off Sanderson for awhile, over on Stetson and San Jacinto Street, off of State street. I also owned the Cybercafe that was on State for a couple of years. Such a trip, lotsa mopar guys in the area I never knew of till I left!

You gotta be kidding me. Small world. I live off of Sanderson, real close to Florida, but those pictures I posted are the photos the prior owner had on E-bay, not of any I took. I bought the car in Temecula.

Anyway, speaking of Hemet, there is one Mopar guy I know of. He's an older guy that drives around in a yellow Charger ('71 or later). It's a real P.O.S., but cool nonetheless.

Yeah, you'd never know I was a Mopar guy, I got other makes/models parked in front of my house, and my RR is at my dad's, but I'm anxious to bring it home to my garage (just gotta make room for it and such).

Yeah, that yellow one is a 73.....he drives it a bunch. There are a couple of more mopar guys in Hemet.....they post on moparts, have never met them though. I am down there about once a month or so, was just down there last weekend (computer work). I'll look you up next time.
