Here's my old car. I owned it from 1972 - 1995. It ran as good as it looks and I had a lot of fun with it. I raced it for a few years and parlked it. Then in the mid 80's I started showing it with a Hemi in it. Finally put the 440 back in it in 1989. It was featured in Mopar Action in Dec 1990. It was pretty well known back then. There weren't too many A12's around and I used to show it a lot. I sold it and bought the one I have now...more for a change of pace than any other reason.

Nice cars!

Thanks. The RoadRunner only has 7,640 miles. I hate to say it but I don't drive it at all. I am glad to say that I have had plenty of time behind the wheel in 69 RoadRunners because I have owned one or more every day since 1969. Unfortunately, the new driver that I am currently putting together is not going to be a 69 RoadRunner. It's a 340 4 speed fastback with factory A/C....

Thanks! I am lucky to have had the cars, experience & fun times with the cars and to have met and made the friends and acquaintances over the years because of my cars. I guess it's all thanks to my passion for my 69 RoadRunners!

I still have that Mopar action floating around with the(your car) black A12,the tech guy Ehburger or whatever his name was, used it as a reference resto,it was a beautiful car. A12's were rare even back in the day I remember a guy whose wife used to work with my mom owned Big John's,that was a long long time ago.Most of the runners I remember had either 383's or Hemi's.The one you have now John is beautiful.
