absolutely beautiful job.
I love hearing stories of original owners having the hindsight to hold on to these cars long enough so that they can be restored back to their former glory.
Too bad more people weren't like Dudley, if they were, more of these cars would be around today for future generations to appreciate.
Great restoration!!

Thanks, Si....

I got the motor finished and ran it on the break-in stand today...512" 400, E-Street heads ported by Dwayne Porter, Porter solid cam, RPM intake and manifolds....should make an honest 500hp and be very mild...it has 15.5" of vacuum at idle...

there was an r4/a4 69 rr at a local show here a couple years back. It was such an unusual combo I didn't think there could be another one. I had a picture of the fender tag but it was on my old phone.

I drove the car to the gas station yesterday and filled it up....on the way home I got tangled up with a brand new Vette from a 50mph roll...I bet the Vette owner was surprised when I kept pulling away...it's amazing what 512 cubic inches, ported Edelbrock heads and a Dwayne Porter solid flat tappet cam will do...

That looks great, reminds me of why Road Runners were so popular when new.
