'70 Road Runner that was wreck in F&F6

I hear you! In a field of trailer-queens cars like that are an anomaly and that makes them interesting. Three, maybe four years ago I went to Monster Mopar here in St Louis (the next to the last year that they had it here before it imploded) and there was an unrestored '70 Hemi Challenger RT out on the back loop of cars. Unlike it's Hemified E-body show queen cousins at the show, it was completely unassuming sitting there on the back row. It was FK5 Dark Burnt Orange with a V1W white vinyl top. Hood was up and the Hemi was dirty, oily, and scaled with rust. The interior was worn with frayed carpet and a couple of seam splits in the seats. Whoever owned it clearly drove it to the show. I thought it was one of the coolest cars there that year. Wish I had my camera with me when I saw it.

I ran into a guy on the Power Tour a few years ago...his fifth Long Haul, his second in a legit Hemi GTX. He had a MP crate motor in it--he has the original at home, it is not in running condition. Note: I saw him in Michigan...he had Texas plates! ("ELEFNT", as I recall.)

Another guy had a Road Runner...it was a clone (383 car with a stroked 440), but it was a beautifully-done A12. He swapped to 2.76 gears for the Tour...it still ran mid-13's, and the top end was north of 140. :burnout:
