Default Re: 69 hemi road runner

I had one in high school (1974) ...RM21J..... If I remember right, bench seat, automatic on the column, B - something green with black guts.

I remember changing the "J" to a "H" when I reported the VIN# to the insurance company. Worked well untill I got caught. The engine / transmission was totally reworked by Teter Automive in Elgin Illinois. 11:57 in the quater mile @ Union Grove, Wi. in 1974 on slicks.

I have a picture taken by Ray Mars (photo guy @ Union Grove, drove a Honda Mini-trail) when I was racing a 1968 Shelby GT-500 KR, But I don't know how to post it.

The guy I sold it to imploaded the transmission (and floor pan) out on I-290 racing a yellow 1969 Yenko Camaro in 1977. He then sold it to the President of the Illinois chapter of the Walter P Chrysler club, lived in Highland Park, Illinois if I remember right.

I did a title search in 1991 with the VIN through the Illinois Secretary of State, but now information was found.

I believe the production numbers were about 150 automatic Hemi's in 1969 if I am not mistaken.

HELL OF A CAR!!!
