Wow. And I thought I was into different. Well done.View attachment 1175062 View attachment 1175063 81 Dodge Mirada.
My Mother purchased it new in 1981, with console, bucket seat, CMX package,with a slant 6,"the leaning tower of power", then my Dad drove it to work,50 mile round trip to Detroit every day for years. He blew the motor. I got it from him About 30-25? years ago, changed k member to V8, Swapped out rear axle to a 8.750, with 4:11 posi., Superstock springs, frameconnectors, Built a stroker 360 Small block i think it ended up being a 406 or 408 c.i., 727 trans with all the good stuff, reverse pattern manual valvebody, 3500 stall conv. It runs 12.66 1/4 mile pretty consistent on pumpgas. Its got front runners, and 12" wide slicks in the photo, it looks great with the stock rims to....but goes nowhere on street tires....no traction. Unfortunately it sits in my driveway more than drives anymore, it needs some maintenance. It's been together for 20 years, still runs strong! Sorry for the late response.yours.
Sometimes this phone or the site will not let me delete a started post so I must have left the letter Y after my attempt to delete.y what?

Here is a pic of my 1969 roadrunner. Had it since 1995. It has a numbers matching 383 and 4sp. I have a 440 machined and waiting to be put in but got side tracked with the stereo equipment. Lol. Hopefully I will get back on track soon.

Well I still haven’t done much with the Roadrunner since my last post. That was about 2 years ago. Front end has since been rebuilt. Had the short block sitting for a few years. Going to go with some different pistons and eagle rods with trick flow heads. At least that’s the plan at the end of the year. Parts are so expensive for mopars. One at a time lol.
