hemi road runner
Now I might be imagining things, but I seem to recall hearing talkof a drop top hemi roadrunner over here at some stage? Does anyone else know of the car? Any pictures or anything? I'd love to know what happened to it.

Pete, There was definitely a red 69 Hemi Roadrunner convertible over here around 1980ish. I remember it being at the Pod and came out on a lunchtime parade. The officials seem to get the arseache when the owner (was it Keith Harvie?) was getting it sideways in the parade.
Last heard of as being a part of a mystery collection in an abandoned church in the middle of nowhere.
I'm sure others old enough could come up with a bit more info or photo of the elusive car. Just remember it was about 35 years ago and memories fade.

The mystery collection is out in Norfolk/ Suffolk, I forget which. The guy has been collecting hemi cars for many years now, I first heard about it in the early '80's, and assumed it was an urban legend. But, Tim Fennel I believe and Jem have both been there and seen the cars first hand. I think he has around 20 cars and none are in very good condition apparently, none for sale of course. No doubt in the not too distant future something will happen and the whole lot will end up at auction.

Wonder what price he's waiting for ? Surely there comes a time when you fire them out to auction and live on the proceeds ? Its a balance betwqeen value and life expectancy isnt it ? Surely the prices are already wayyyyyy over what anyone ever thought ? Unless its a 'nope. Gonna fix her up someday..' scenario.
Of course some people just wanna own stuff. maybe thats all he wants - to know he has them. Who are we to judge ?
