1969 Roadrunner 440.

[Captain Chaos]

Well Gentlemen I can reliably inform you that Scotland is still there and there is snow on the mountains. Additionally they are now one Roadrunner short as my search for a B Body is over. To say I am happy would be the understatement of the year,I really don’t think I could have bought better. The bodywork is incredibly straight and looks largely original,no corrosion issues and a beautiful interior. It has a non original 440 that was described to me as mildly tuned,but it sounds like God clearing his throat. Headers,Edelbrock inlet,Proform carb and a very lumpy cam,it would be nice to know more about what’s inside. The Trans has had the Midas touch of Mr Watts,manual body reverse pattern and the rear end has been rebuilt by Hauser Race Cars. Ding Dong!

I’ll take some decent photos at the weekend.

Thanks Andy. Andy C told me he ran a 13.1 at last years Nats,hardly likely to trouble you but I am looking forward to my first proper 1/4 mile run.

Thanks Derek.

You were right about the previous owners,I have been in touch with Alex through FB already,lots of info and memories being recalled.

Well done Stew!!
There should be a thread on here somewhere from when it was imported. Seem to remember it coming over here in a container, balanced on a few spindly bits of wood - amazing that it got here in one piece!

[Captain Chaos]

I’ll have a dig about later to see if I can find it. Thanks
