Unhappy A little late but....

... there was a guy selling some on E-Bay about a month ago. He must've listed them for about three months but they never sold. He had two sets: 70/30 and 60/40. And of course, I don't remember who he was......

I have a 1971 Charger which is pretty simular to the Road Runner.
It is pretty stock except for the 451 stroker engine
Mine is setup for the street (gas shocks, sway bars, stiffer springs/torsen bars), so I don't know about the race shocks?
The only real traction aids I have is stiffing the rear springs with an extra spring on each side, the Mopar adjustable pinion snubber and M/T street ET tires.

Go to E-bay.com and do a search for 73 Roadrunner. There are currently drag shocks being offered for sale.

Default Sorry....

.... when you do the search, you should enter 73 Road runner. Initially I hadn't put the space in-between.

I run a '73 Road Runner in IHRA stock eliminator. I've run a couple differrent shocks on the rear. I've run a Rancho adjustable and am now running PA-1 adjustables (if you call Summit, they can probably get these for you). The PA-1 are better but a bit pricey at roughly $150 / shock. I'm not sure what model Rancho it is but they should be cheaper (probably for a Dodge truck application - I bought them with some special leaf springs I run).

Car weighs 3,890 lbs with the 440 stocker motor and runs 11.5's @ 115

Hope this helps.
