    I offer massive respect to you for not flipping it and getting a Prius or a mini van. That car is a legacy and a not so silent reminder of how far we've slipped. That car comes from a time when giants walked the earth. The spirit of Duane Allman, Ronnie van Zandt and Sonny Barger lives on in a machine like that. If you feel like it, go back to the top of the comments page and take a look at what I wrote. I got inspired that day, and the poet in me floated up to the surface. I think I did OK on it.

I know you’ve been here and see the Mopar’s. Anyway the Runners sat up since 87, maybe in a barn, in California. Between yours and Birdsongs tips, my 383 4speed is coming along well sleeper styles and should hopefully upset the shiny ones a bit 🤣

    Good luck on the car. I’m waiting on a 69 Mustang Fastback my dad left me after a frameoff restomodding. He got it in the late 90s off the first owner with just about everything it came with new. It was a bit ratted out from sitting outdoors for over a decade at least. Almost done but the waiting is killing me. Love to see others bring any car back from the brink. I owned a pretty rough 65 coupe with a 289 and 4 speed no other extras. Drums all around and no air or power steering. Still loved driving it as it was an experience. Had to sell it after getting out the army and starting a family.

    Hi from the UK. I like the Wreckrunner. You guys are lucky that so much old tin survives. The damp climate in the UK combined with all the salt chucked on the roads over winter meant most old cars didn't survive. Modern stuff doesn't rust the same way. Now it's expensive electrical/hydraulic, etc. systems that send rock solid cars off to the shredder, where NO parts are saved. Makes my teeth itch.
