72 dodge dart

The Dart my friend had wouldn’t outrun my Roadrunner. He would get me across an intersection but after that I’d have him.

People nowadays don’t know how lucky they are to have such an assortment of tires and wheels to choose from.
Back then it was pretty limited and the F70-14s (the old number system) on the Roadrunner just did not put a lot of rubber onto the asphalt so they usually went up in smoke unless one babied it a bit from a dead stop.

Hey tex if your name is Frank… my buddy came in one day so proud he beat a duster 440 with his 6cyl stick shift duster, being a Chevy guy said see what a bad company plymouth is, their 6 cyl can beat a 440. Laughed for days we all did.

If you do this to this poor defenseless vehicle, I’d urge you to get another hood and keep the original in case you ever decide to sell it. It will be worth much more if it’s all original.

I may still have a stock set of these.
I will look - may take a while I have a mountain of A-body stuff.
Will let you know.
