It started back in the 50’s with the females at Hot Rod car shows. I agree it is time to drop that idea.

Beautiful Road Runner! It sold so well, because at the time it was the fastest car one could get for the money

And then there’s that hideous paint color and fonky trunk-wing thing.

All it needs is a pair of foam dice hanging from the rearview mirror to complete the jackass look.

I totally agree with regards to the stuffed animals!?? Where did that ridiculous trend ever start?

I also agree with some of the details of this car needing addressed to really make it “correct.” But as it’s sits it looks like a great driver

Am I the only one who rolls their eyes when they see stuffed animals on cars, or little stuffed crying kids leaning against the bumper, or matching plastic models sitting on the air cleaner?

There are quite a few details and a couple of big things that need to be tended to or re-done altogether on this ‘trophy winner’ to get it to anything approaching a #1 car. As it is, it’s driver quality imho.

Nice sharp looking Mopar! I wouldn’t mind owning it! This is a true muscle car.. Pistol grip 4-speed, manual steering and brakes! Going to need muscle 💪 to drive it! 😂. .. ok.. Any true Mopar people know air shocks are used for towing. If the back is sagging you re-arc the springs or add leafs to it . Then the back will sit just right. No shackles or air shocks on Mopars!!! There is 4 days to go so I won’t be surprised if this goes over $50,000. This is a trophy roadrunner. I been to good shows where they look underneath to see how it looks. So I doubt they is any rust. Good luck to the next owner. 🐻🇺🇸

Nice and worth a bid. Rust free at the Salt Flats of the Northeast. The vehicle had to be from another part of the USA originally, or was lucky to survive winter in a garage every year. Pics of the underside would be nice.

The seller is going to have to install a set of air shocks to support the weight of all of those trophies on the trunk lid!
