WireCare Joe
The Restoration Story Of Plum Crazy

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!
