    This was one of my dream cars , me and my wife purchased it in December from Maple Motors and it is a great car I drive it as much as possible, it lives in Dade City , Florida now , I did fix the brakes and it needed some new brake lines and some wheel bearings , I also fixed all the lights and some wiring that was not correct and replaced the tires .. put some new door badges and got the trim put on the rear window .. next is to purchase some replacement bumpers front and back .. I see everyone saying the motor sounds weird but that is just the drive gear that makes all that noise in the front .. also I did all the vin research and it is a 68 roadrunner not a clone it was originally a 383 automatic car but it was restored in 91 by the original owner and they put in the 440 magnum with the Tremec 5 speed .. I will continue to love and care for this car till I die .. she sits in my car port and I take her to the local car shows and everyone always compliments me on how nice it is ..

    Great looking car and for a mopar, it's priced great. I don't know if it's your mic or what, but it really sounded horrible for a 440 for the entire video. Not bad from the exhaust end, but something was making a racket up front that didn't sound right. 5 speed threw me. More info on that just cause it's obviously not factory might be useful.
    Like your honesty. Never loose that. I'm guessing that's your bread and butter.

    Nice condition driver and a very fair price. Seems like a real good deal. Definitely something wrong with the drivetrain. I have a 69 GTX and it doesn't sound anything like that. Since you don't have a power steering pump I'd worry about the other possible sources of that noise! But still a good deal regardless.

    That Road Runner was born an automatic judging from the PRND21 plate on the top of the steering wheel. The whine from the transmission also would have me worried about what's going on inside.

    The 68 Road Runner only came with a 383 or a hemi nor a 5 speed so you are getting a hybrid vehicle which does nothing for me. For those that like it, fine. But original is what I like. In a similar vien, only Dodge's had six packs, Plymouth had a six barrel. When I see people referring to Pymouth's with six packs I know that they don't what they are talking about.
