I was assuming that Dianne was talking about the car and not the suffed animal. No matter who owns what, the 1969 Plymouth Road Runner is another superbly restored car by the Orr family. The 1969 Road Runner came from the factory with a 4 barrell, 440 ci engine, B-7 Jamacian Blue paint and was named Motor Trends 1969 car of the year.

Shay was good enough to help out AmericanCarsAmericanGirls.com once again. This time posing with Dwight Orr’s 1974 Barracuda. The Barracuda was maufactured by Plymouth from 1964 – 1974. Diwight’s Cuda has a 340 small block Mopar engine. Dwight and his son Daniel did all the restoration work on the car. Yes, Dwight is the dad of Naylene Orr and husband of Dianne Orr. There’s no if, ands, Orr, buts about this family the love their Mopars. Which Orr Mopar do you think is the nicest.

What’s Rat Rodding? I’m not sure there’s a definition. Just look at the picture gallery and that’s what it is . I had seen these cars before from a distance but had never gotten a close look. I got close and was blown away. I now love these cars. There is a meet scheduled for Rat Rodders the third weekend of September in Lebanon, Tn. and I will be there! This particular R.R. is a 1932 Plymouth with a 392 Hemi.

It was a jaw dropping experience both when I first saw the car and then again when I saw the beautiful detail work. The major components and mods for the car are listed in a picture in the gallery. I will say one thing 625 H.P./615 LBS of naturally aspirated power. The Cuda, John and son Phillip came in from Minnesota.
