Finally got to drive it Happy Birthday

[joewhite440]

I got the exhaust on my Road Runner yesterday and drove it for a nice 15 mile test drive. I turned 55 today and it was the first time I ever drove a Hemi car. I only ever road in one other one and that was in 1979. It was a friend of my from Butler Pa who took me for a short ride in his original Black on Black 69 Road Runner with a 426 and an Automatic transmission. He later had the engine pulled for some reason and offered me the car for $3500. I still remember telling my wife that was to much money (HA Ha). I have owned many cars since but always remembered and dreamed of having a Hemi Road Runner. Though not original I now have it after all these years. It is a nice feeling knowing I have it in my garage on this my 55th birthday. I hope you all have a great day! I know I will!
Ps
Dave (Basketcase) that ride or drive is waiting for you!
