Gav

[southrod]

Gav

they are 2 piece alloys
17x8 and 17x9.5" with 235/45 front and 275/50 17 rears.

I think it needs bigger rear tyres, maybe 295/40 or something.

Not too many plans for now. Got a front disc/booster kit coming and an MSD ready to run. I will drive it as is for now and later on when funds allow I will get the body done.
The motor is the original 383 but it breathes a little so maybe I will look at a mild crate motor and keep the numbers match motor to one side.

I dont want to change it too much as it is number match and everything is as factory ordered except the drivers remote mirror.

I have a decode by Galon Govier (whos name is on the title??) with a broadcast sheet


I think I may have to find another one to build something really wild, pro-touring style or maybe an early-mid 60's car and do a gasser style car.;)

This one will turn up in a while. I sold it to WA a few months ago. Getting a full resto at the moment. #'s matching 4spd airgrabber.

Enjoy the 'runner. I loved driving mine, the airgrabber & pistolgrip are way cool. I fitted a dust-trail to mine,well worth the cost

I even love the colour Alan...

Looks sweet!

[plodge]

I heard a yellow one had turned up but couldnt find the owner to try to pry it out of him;)

[RAW454]

Sweet ride Alan! Maybe I should offer up some Mopar stubbie holders or lanyards or something from work to attract some more Mopar Muscle (& variety!) on here...

The guy keeps in contact with me with pix of his progress. He's going the hole hog , should be real nice when finished.

[RT4406]

I bought it in Perth, the guy I bought it from got it from Sydney.
Before that it was some guy in the USA called Galon Govier?? ;) (seriously, his name is on the title)

[RT4406]

Thinking This Was Darren Hills Car In Sydney , Yes It Was Prev Owned By "galen I Love Ripping Mopar Owner Govier".

spot on, I believe Darren imported the car.
His name is on some of the boxes.
I think he still has the repo rear quarters:confused:

I own a 70 Dodge Challenger and I'm sure there are other Mopars on the Forum.

Hi Toni, I was referring to the forum homepage where all the current threads seem to be by GM owners. Nothing wrong with a nice Camaro or Firebird, I like all Yanky Musclecars just like Mopars more.

Well, I guess we are slightly out numbered on this Forum.
We also have a Camaro and 3 Chev Pickups so even in my household I am out numbered. Just have to get used to it! :)

Mate I have owned Vals since 1976 so I am used to being in the minority!!

[Chad350]

I thought this site was a Camaro lovefest too. Great looking Roadrunner, my favourite year for them.
