Most of us wish we still had the
car we purchased
new. Especially those of us that
had hot muscle
cars. Well, uncle Bernard {Bo}
Does not have to
wish, he knew to keep his 1969
440 6BBL Runner.
My father in-law, Dalton, and his
brother
Bo worked at Secord Chrysler Plymouth
in 1969.
When uncle Bo saw the 440 6BBL
Runner on the
Car Hauler he decided to
take it for a ride.
At that time he knew he had to
have it.
As soon as he took delivery of
the Runner,
that weekend they were off to Connecticut
Dragway.
With a set of Cheater slicks
mounted on
Crager SS's the Runner was making
passes in
the mid 12.00s. Of course, working
on these great
cars for a living probably made
a little difference.
I am happy to say that the Road
Runner is on
permanent loan to the Rapid Transit
Collection.
Uncle Bo & Aunt Barbara have
given me the
Honor of restoring their Prize
Road Runner &
showing it with Pride.
The Road Runner has undergone a
complete restoration
that was completed in July of 2006
just in time
for the Chrysler @ Carlisle Event
Uncle Bo's Runner is equipped with
the A12 Package a
4 Speed Gear Box, Wood Grain Wheel,
Tachometer,
AM Radio and a Blue Deluxe Bench
Seat Interior.
Cruising in the Big Beeper!
