A "GREAT car": '69 Plymouth Road Runner 440

Sorry, I missed these comments!

Lucky guys in KY!

The bowling alley at 13 and Gratiot! I used to show my 340 '68 Cuda there years and years ago. Now my son and I will catch a hamburger at Ruby Tuesday's and walk across to look at the good stuff.

Sold the car way back when.. a time long , long ago.

Looks nice, but I bet it only runs 12's

It has 11.8 written all over! That model weighed quite a bit so I would think 12.3 would be pushing it.

That's why I stick to the imports, lighter, and quicker, even with the little 4's, but I still enjoy cars, nothing can beat the sound of a V8.

American Muscle is always cool .No Tokyo drifter here.Runners were,are the real deal .

I lean more towards GM. I used to really be in the Import Scene during Highschool then got wise.

Good man! I had a '69 383 "S".

Splitting hairs. Just let me in it!
He's probably upgraded it some more over the winter.

Truth! Itty bitty motors winding 14 grand give me a headache! I'd still drive one if someone offered though.

Thanks for resurrecting this thread.

From the looks of the set up, I'm inclined to lean more towards high 10's, to low 11's.

I'd have to see it, I don't believe it'd pull 10's, not saying it wouldn't, but I honestly don't buy it, unless thats one hell of a shot of nitrous he's spraying.

The mechanics here at work took a look just a few minutes ago and they feel confident this particular car would be in the 10's. They poured over the engine, the interior framing etc... The head mechanic said he had a RR years ago with just a six pack and pulled 12.1.

I'll take your word then, but the real question is, can he run 10's all day, and drive it home

He did for the Pinks show (earlier post) & was too fast for the bracket they chose for the finals. And the full quote is "In street trim with the .613" lift cam, it puts out about 800bhp & will turn 10s in the quarter mile,..."
