A friend of mine found this find of a lifetime from a craigslist ad that read junk,junk,and more junk. He sold the car to two brothers who, had the Hemi rebuilt, and cleaned the car up. It is now a running time capsule! They say that the car runs like a properly tuned Hemi should. I saw the car at the Mopars at Lebanon Valley Dragway show yesterday. It is a Hemi 4 speed, super track pack 4.10 Dana car, which other than the tach,it is a bare bones Road Runner. The brothers have decided to leave the car in as found condition. This car is living proof that they are still out there!

Nobody knows but him! Maybe it's better that we don't know. My friend had planned on keeping the car, but he found out that his new garage cost a lot more than he thought it would to build, so he had to let it go.

Very neat, beautiful car. Thinking back, I can't recall any '69 Hemi Runners around here. There were several '68's. Many more Dodge Hemi's here since the big Dodge dealer was real big on performance cars.

That's a sweet wagon next to it.

Road Runner has no carpet, rubber. Wish all my cars had that.
