As Seen on Plum Crazy
All The Products Used For The Plum Crazy Restoration Project
We all know how life can sidetrack us from our dream projects, with family, raising kids, work & other things taking priority. Joe from WireCare® started his 1969 Road Runner project in 1985, with the crazy idea to make the most eye-popping & powerful Mopar Performance Street Machine in the Northeast. That second love of his life has been taking a back seat to life's priorities for the past 37 years. His dream car's triumphant return to the road has appeared even further in the rearview mirror this year.
The WireCare® crew teamed up with our amazing friends and sponsors to bring Joe's longtime project to fruition! We took his car from a pile of parts to the tire-burning, road-rumbling, 383 V8 gas-guzzling monster that came off the line over 50 years ago. The goal was to restore this classic Road Runner & surprise Joe with the finished product he has been dreaming about for 37 years!
