Anyone remember this hemi roadrunner drag car from Long Island New York area?

[HersheysHemi]

My cousin gave me this 1969 Hemi Roadrunner last June.
He got it from the Long Island area.
He was told the car when new was a Plymouth dealership's drag car on Long Island.
Does anyone remember it?

Very crude race car interior. Probably was running a very rude Hemi. I never saw this car.
You should register it for the Chicago MCACN show in its barn find section. It would be a draw.

 

[HersheysHemi]

Ya the interior is very basic.
They removed all the factory wiring harnesses.
Only has 3 switches on the dash and a starter push button.
Do you think I should show the car as is or paint the fenders white?
I will look into mcacn.
I'm bringing it the the carlisle mopar show.

Leave it as is. It's a find as is. The MCACN is a phenomenal show, probably the best on the planet. The barn find section is amazing. Check out their website.
Carlisle is another great.

I saw a youtube video of different hemi cars mopar5150 took to mcacn show.
Their barn find section looked pretty neat.
Carlisle is only a hour from me so that's a really easy one to make it to.

I do not know that car,looks like a day three car. Here is another garage find.

 

[HersheysHemi]

Found the technically 2nd owner of my car.
He bought it with 50 miles on it.
A older lady bought the car new and didn't like it got bad gas mileage so she took it back to the dealership.
He bought the car and turned it into a race car.
He raced it with two different hemi engines.
I know you guys like pictures and thankfully he took lots of pictures of the car.
His son sent me these, enjoy.

That looks like National Speedway at the pits of course right by the entrance road running along the tree line.
I never went to the track when it was active, but I visited the sight later in the eighties and remember it like yesterday.

That was decently fast for back then with a big hulk of a B-body.

 

[HEMI-ITIS]

An injected HEMI with some compression on Alky can get that car some gitty up!!

 

[HersheysHemi]

They ran two different hemi engines.
In the first picture that i believe is 2.5 gallon fuel tank in the left front corner of the engine bay.

Makes a guy think of the very high possibility that they made a 489"

 

[Budnicks]

Verry cool old photos,
10.0s in that era is no slouch for damn sure

 

[fullmetaljacket]

10.0hs is still decently fast these days. That was Pro-stock........ or should I say, Brooklyn street racing territory back then.
