Similar story to camguynj...
October of 1968 I bought my 1969 Roadrunner. 383 4-spd, silver with a black vinyl top, factory mags, red-line Goodyear tires (which I burned off in 2 months!). I was in between tours to Viet Nam, and drove it back to California (from NE) via (part of) Route 66.
I remember when my Dad took me down to pick it up... It was all cleaned up, idling in the sun. If anyone remembers how the heat risers would clink while idling, it sounded great. Just a little bit of a lope that made it sound pretty bad, for the times. Good memories for sure! Sure wish I would have kept that car :-(
