      My father owned 3 of these over the years of my youth. A blue, a red and one in this green and all trophy winners in the super bird club. We traveled to a lot of events when I was younger all over the country. Sadly all 3 had 440 6 packs and not hemi. Boy do I wish we still had one of them the last one a green one I remember my dad selling in mid 80s for 10 or 15 grand boy is that sad to think about now. Still believe we have a lot of spare stickers, and parts though in storage. My father promised me the green one as my first car but sadly sold it before, but since we were Mopar fans I did end up with a mint 74 Charger SE so not all bad.

My uncle bought a new 70 Lemon Twist 383 pistol grip Roadrunner . i was 5 years old and thought it was the coolest thing known to man . Got in trouble constantly for drawing pictures of it instead of paying attention in class. I wept when he totalled it in a traffic accident . Yes , I grew up Mopar. My first car was a 74 Charger SE. Had the N50 I5s on Cragars with G78 15s on front .Gramps had a 73 Chrysler Newport with 440 . It was a serious land yacht. Ah the days of my youth....

He'd do a burnout once in awhile when he saw us kids watching. I was 13 and never thought any car could have been any cooler than that one.
