The green one was first raced by the grandfather who went to a tbucket and his son took over the road runner . The grandfather then bought a rail and sold the tbucket. Now the oldest grand son I running the road runner , his father is running the rail and the grandfather is running an altered.

Wow. That is a true beauty. I work for Ram and we had a car show at HQ last month, you should have seen all the ridiculous Mopar machines there.

I also had this about 15 years ago. It was a nice little car.

I used to have 3 B bodies, 67 GTX w/440, 67 Coronet R/T w/440 and a 68 GTX w/426 Hemi. I also had a 69 Sport Fury w/383 2 bbl. When I was a kid my dad had a 62 Plymouth Savoy w/361 Golden Commando that he raced at the long gone Fremont Drag Strip. After that he picked up a used 62 Plymouth Belvedere w/413 Super Stock. He later said that was the most impractical car he has own. Before the gas crunch in 70's the family cars were a 68 Road Runner then a 69 Coronet R/T w/440 and finally a car with A/C. Every now and again I get nostalgic and think about picking up something. Then reality sets in.

What would make that “just right“ would be a 440 six pack under the hood.

Actually, my plan was a 408 small block. Never got around to it.

See my Avatar. That Beast is sitting under the hood of my Malibu.

Nice, but you know I meant a small block Mopar.

I know.

I am a child of the ‘50’s/‘60’s. When Chrysler came out with the 413 version of the “B” engine in the early ‘60’s, that was about the baddest player on the block. Chevy followed soon after with their Mk IV big Block, the race was on. (Not discounting the W series 409).

By the way. The Beach Boys got it wrong. My money would have been on the “413 Super Stock Dodge”.

I’m just a die hard Big Block guy. I absolutely love the late 60’s “coke bottle” Dodges and Plymouth’s. I was at the height of my youthful hot rod days when the 426 Hemi hit the roads in ‘’64. Just looking at one of those sitting under the hood gave one chills.

When I decided to build a custom hot rod in the early ‘90’s, My first choice was a Dodge or Plymouth, with a big ”B” engine as the nucleus.

But I stuck with a GM product because I had learned about everything there was to know about Big Block Chevys during my boat racing endeavors through the 1970’s.

So, I went with a ‘67 Chevelle, one of the few body styles besides the Dodges and Plymouths that defined what a car of the “muscle car era” should really look like.

While the engine in my Malibu is not a true “Chevy”, (being a custom built 540), when you open the hood, the first thought is ……”Rat”

Heck, I wouldn’t even drive that.
I would just open the hood and look.

I do admire all of the whiz bang engines of today, with their factory superchargers, computer controls, and yes, gobs of power.

But not as much as I admire the sound my 540 when I push the right foot down.

More of my junk. 540 big block Indy cylinder heads on alcohol 9.10 at 150 and still gets driven on the street
Really interesting when the carb is rejetted and run 8 percent nitromethane just for fun. Giant wheelies and 3 tenths faster and sounds so nasty, plus the fumes make your eyes water
