New customer Dirk brought us this car over 1000 miles one way to have us see if we could help him update his 69 Road Runner that he has had for nearly 30 years.  He bought it back in the late 70s as a used F8 green 383 4speed car, that was just a used car at the time. Over a period of nearly 3 decades, it has had different big blocks and several rear ends, been repainted once, and mainly drag raced. Nothing has been cut and it has always had the full interior without a roll cage. Its set up for a big block and a manual trans and has a Dana 60 with 411 gears. Manual steering, manual drum brakes, yet equipped with a 3 speaker dash, am/8 track radio and a factory tach. A very solid car that, if there is rust under the repaint, there isn't much. The whole car is in very good shape and needs nothing done to the normal places they usually rust. Floors, frames, trunk, rockers-- all like new. Just a couple chisel holes in the trunk to repair, that some kid put in it to run air shock lines. Interior will only need new carpet. Ran just before he pulled the engine and trans and brought it to us.

This car will be repainted, and the customer is supplying us with a 500" 440 built by Dave Brun at Mid America Racing in Washington Iowa. This 700+ horsepower big block will be coupled to a Keisler 5 speed with hydraulic clutch, and a TTI 3" exhaust with X pipe.
