For RoadRunner Lovers

In case you haven't seen a pix of my 1968 Hemi Road Runner...here it is.
Bought it brand new in 1968 when I was 26 years old.
Raced it in NHRA Super/Stock C Automatic that summer.

Sorry guys, I only have that one picture of the car.
Back then we didnt have digital cameras. Had to get out the KODAK, open the back of it and install a new "roll" of film, then take your pictures....then you had to take the roll of film out, take it to the camera store and wait a week to get the prints.
Pictures were few and far between unless you had a friend who was a camera buff.
