Missed it by *that* much

I had an FK5 roadrunner in high school, so I find myself on the lookout for them in case I ever find a decent one again.

Way to go, dumbass

Yeah sure it's goobered up here and there but nothing that I wouldn't be interested in fixing, at the right price. I don't understand why people don't like FK5.

That car would be so much prettier in the original color.

To me the cars that add the post but don't change the roof line (62-63 and 68-70) are the best. I thought about welding posts into my current road runner - I had the parts for that so it would've been fairly simple but I decided not to raise questions about an RM23 VIN on an RM21 body.

That car would be so much prettier in the original color.

I like it better in single stage and think a black vinyl top really sets it off. The FK5 car I had was pretty much loaded for a 4-speed, but had no stripes on it at all.

Is that rocker trim supposed to be there? Mine had WW moldings which were apparently not factory original. I had it from about 77-79.

I have always loved FK5, many many moons ago Iooked at a 70 Sport Satellite 383/4bbl, 4spd car in FK5 with a FK5 interior...can't recall if it was a bench or buckets/console...super cool car! Think some low brow troglodyte got it and turned it into a TX9 GTX clone.

I like single stage better for any color that can truly accomodate it. Certain colors, it just ain't happening. As far as the stripes, I think they were all optional but if not, they could definitely be deleted.

I'm not sure, but there was an A87 option package for RM21 that included the B-post moulding and a few other trinkets. A lot of that brightwork was available standalone too, though--my Challenger had wheel opening and rocker mouldings but no group or package (it was not a Rallye). I didn't see a data tag for the one I posted; I just did an image search. Harder to find a decent picture of a K5 Chicken tin-top than you think.
