Default Wifes new ride

I bought my wife for Christmas a 2005 Crossfire conv limited. I have a 1969 Road Runner and at Mopar shows she would always say that the Crossfire was her type of car. It's black with black top, the interior is black with redish inserts. it has 47300 miles on it.

Congratulations on the Crossfire! If that RoadRunner is too much of a burden now I could be talked into bringing trailer and picking it up Welcome to the Forum.

The Road Runner is no burden, go to other cars and check it out.

Sounds like your wife is a keeper! Welcome to the Forum.

Somebody blacked out the windshield surround as well. Looks good. Btw, the interior is cedar and slate. Just to add to what Padgett said.
I for one, would really like to see pics of your Roadrunner. A friend of mine has a beautiful 69' Dodge Super Bee. I was actually with him when he bought it from the local high school coach in 82'. It was just a run of the mill medium green 383 bench seat car. It still appears stock, but it has a stroked 400 engine that he won in a contest through Hotrod magazine several years ago. It's a bottom to top redone car. And he did it himself.
Myself, I still think my favorite Mopar was a 71' GTX here in town. It was a factory 440 SixPack, dana 60, four speed car, in B5 blue. I always loved that Nascar Coke bottle design.
I noticed you have a Dodge Ramcharger as well. I have an 80 Plymouth Trailduster. 1st year for lock out hubs. And the last year for the removable roof.

Lucky Wife! Lucky Husband!
You have the best of both now. I just bought a 2006 SRT6 about 2 weeks ago. I've been looking for one for about 2 years. When I met my Wife in 1979 she had just sold what was her first car. 1969 Orange Road Runner 383. i met her about 2 weeks too late. If she would not have sold it for a Camaro I would still have BOTH.
You've got it all!
