1969 Road Runner preservation

[keepat]

While waiting for a few parts so that I could start the engine for the first time in over 40 years. I decided to work on the exterior paint. After getting into detailing and polishing the paint I have determined that there is considerably more than 20% that has had paint work done to it over 40 years ago. With this information I cannot in good faith put this car in the survivor tent. So I have reached out to the organizers of the Chrysler Carlisle survivor tent and withdrew this car from their display. Gregg said they would have no problem filling the spot. I will still be driving the car to Carlisle but displaying it in the show car field.

Sorry to hear it but, from my perspective, it will be much easier to look it over out in the open. The roped-off under the tent survivors can be a bit harder to look at. Good luck getting it running and I’ll be sure to look for it out in the show field.

Yes, I could never quite figure that out as well. With all due respect, you can get closer to a $40,000 paint job then you could to some guys $10,000 four-door survivor;-)

Thanks

Plus it's hard to really see the true colors of the cars in the survivor tent because of the red glow from the sun shining through the red tent fabric. That spring green will really pop out in the sun!
