My whole life I always wanted a 1969 Roadrunner. Today, she’s home.

Didn’t initially want one this radical, but for what I paid for it on Bring a Trailer, I couldn’t pass her up.

440 w/BDS blower and dual FAST EFI carbs (~850hp)
727 TF full manual
Mini tubbed
Lots of other crazy custom shit.

GF on her way over to break ‘er in. 🥰

As an aside… I got linked up with PlyCar for shipping from @Jefftowz and they were incredible. Little hiccup with the car on initial pick up day and they just stuck me on the next run from Washington state. Super professional.

You have to roll up to at least one traffic stop in that thing... Think Mad Max style set up. Would be great publicity for a career as a highway man.🤘

Wow what an awesome looking Roadrunner you have there.😎
Congrats on achieving this dream.

With that engine setup, you’re definitely going to be one of the first ones to 78MPH out on the California highways.😉😎🙂👍

Oh hell yes.

I'm gonna be disappointed if you're not buying new rear tires within 10 days.

Older build. Hacker hot rods in Vegas built it.

Nice.

Does it have the "beep beep" horn?

Sure does!!

Turns out CHP make more than I thought. Bad ass Boat and Bad ass car!

We do pretty OK!! 😉 But I admittedly have gotten lucky with a couple skills I learned on the side. Very grateful for what I’ve got.


Oh. And her name is either Blackie, or Lucille (Clapton and BB Kings guitars…)
