I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder! I like the Sebring body style. In college I had a 69 Roadrunner, and my roomate, coincidentally, had a 71 Roadrunner. My 69 had a 440/727 setup (not original) and his car had a high performance 340, 4 speed, and an 8 3/4 rear. He had gone through the engine and it had a solid lifter cam, high compression pistons, ported heads, headers, etc. It also had been lowered, had big (for the era) tires and wheels, upgraded brakes, and heavy duty anti-sway bars, KYB shocks, and hi-rate springs. My car was a quarter-mile car (mid-12s) while he had set his car up for top speed, assisted by a set of gears that were something like a 2.76 ratio. I remember being on the interstate one night cruising along at well over 150 mph and the car was stable. Cars today can do that easily, but 40 years ago, that was remarkable. My Roadrunner is just a memory, but he still has it and it now had a 408 stroker with a Tremec 6 speed. He says it is far faster than it used to be... but I am far older and wiser now, so I will take his word for it! 🙂
