Brad Riepe’s Awesome Pro Touring 1969 Plymouth Road Runner

This car has been featured all over the net and from this pic you can probably tell why.  Brad Riepe of Iowa bought this 1969 Plymouth Road Runner at age 16 in 1983 for $100, but the transformation didn’t start until 1999, when he bought a NHRA Pro Stock Hemi. The motor is pushing a whopping 1,300 hp and Brad keeps things in control with a Viper suspension and big Wilwood brakes.

Make a Wish Charger

How cool is this? The Make-A-Wish Foundation just finished the restoration of this 1968 Dodge Charger for teenage cancer patient Matthew Wood in Canyon, Minnesota. Matthew was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma and he, his brother and father had not been able to make much progress on the Charger they had acquired ten years ago. Morrie’s Automotive Group took over, repainted the car and rebuilt the original 318 drivetrain. They completed the 600 man-hour job just two weeks ago and gave Matthew the keys. As you might imagine, Matthew was thrilled. Major props to everyone involved. One more pics after the jump! Via Hemmings
