I FOUnd a 1970 plymouth roadrunner in a backyard in gloucester mass (late 1970's early 80's)
it had 4:56 gears in the read end ,440 with an air-grabber hood scoop,pistol grip shifter i got it for $500 bux
(off the owners parents the kid was in the service at the time)
the thing would barely do over 55 mph (highway driving was outta the question!)
but quarter mile the thing was fucking insane!! (wish i kept it!)
