I had studded snow tires on my 1969 Hemi Roadrunner in 1974. Drove it to High school every day and Great Lakes Drag-A-Way in Union Grove Wisconsin during the summer. It went 11:57 @ 125 MPH and got 4 miles to the gallon (but I did work at a gas station which I own now) with the Teter Automotive Rat Roaster dual Quad intake. Then sold it for $1500.00 in 1975 to buy a boat to pitch Beer Cans out of on Lake Geneva Wisconsin! Those were the days that memories were made out of!

RM21J was the begining of the VIN as I remember. I told my insurance company it was RM21H (318) it took them 12 months to catch me that's why I had to sell it at any cost. Insurance was $360.00 for 318 B-body, but $900.00 for a 426 Hemi insuring a 17 year old Kid. The Trading Times was a BIG DEAL in our area back in the day. It was started by a good friends brother, Jay Owen.
