Hi Lee, I would have to defer to someone more knowledgeable...but I believe that you are correct?


Glad that you are enjoying the photos!

There were four 70 Hemi/auto Roadrunner converts on display (if you add the fresh resto Plum Crazy Car). I asked one of the guys by the unrestored car if all four cars were here-he said yes, all four Hemi autos. He said there was one 4speed made, but was confirmed destroyed years ago. Maybe someone here can verify.

I talked to one of the guys associated with the B3 and B5 cars and he said there were 5 Hemi Road Runner convertibles known to have been built in 1970. The four automatic cars were present at the show and the fifth car, which was a 4 speed, was destroyed early in it's life. The 1 of 4 signs by the cars were kind of misleading unless they were just referring to automatic cars.

I didn't speak to anyone at the show about this topic but intentionally circled back to this display to see if all 4 were there. There were indeed 4 70 Roadrunner verts with Hemi's in them. Only 3 of them had the "1 of 4" denotation on their MCACN sign so I assumed the 4th one was a transplant. Just an assumption on my part. I believe that the destroyed one was a drag strip warrior in NW Ohio back in the day.

Thank you Bruce.......your pictures are wonderful, as usual. I was there 4 days and still didn’t see the complete show with everything going on. That’s the bad thing about having your own car there......so many people I didn’t get to chat with......so thanks again!

Kurt

Bruce, as always we here at Yenko.net as well as Facebook appreciate your efforts taking and posting these photos especially for those unable to make the show. I as well as many others also cherish the friendship with you and your family.
