In my efforts to find my Dad's A12 Road Runner ordered new, I spoke with a long time friend of his John. My Dad passed in 2001 so I do not often see his friends. As I understand John said the second owner of the car who purchased it from my dad said it moved to Central Canada. May be Saskatchewan. It then made it's way to the Midwest, Wisconsin, Michigan maybe he indicated. At that time it may have been in an accident. Below is a copy of a post I have on this site and others with some additional details. Hope this new info sparks some memories of the car. Thanks everyone


Help me find RM23M9A280114 INFO please a little history

Looking for my Dad's A12 F3 Frost Green Road Runner. My dad and mom purchased it new from Tekoa Motors Tekoa WA. Last I understand it had been sold to somebody in Canada in the early 1980's. It was purchased from a gentleman named Wayne Hansen second owner in Spokane Washington. It was painted White at that time. Any information on this would be appreciated. If the car has been damaged or parted any of the remaining parts Engine Trans (Automatic) Hood, shell, etc I am interested. If the car is not for sale I would like to still provide my contact information if it is to be sold in the future. I do have the original Edlebrock intake and 6 barrel Holley carbs that dad removed around 1972. He sold them to a friend who got them to me a couple years ago. My dad has passed away and the car has good memories for me. He often said it would be mine when I grow up. Thanks for any help
Thanks, Dave JR

It would be awesome if you ever find it! It sounds like it may have been through a lot. At least you can have some comfort that your Dad enjoyed it when he had it. Best wishes on your search.

Another bit of information. Calgary Canada could also be where it went. I am confident that it did go to Canada in the early 80's. So it spent time in Canada after it was bought in Spokane. The person who purchased it was a Canadian Drag Racer from what I understand.

Update
As I now understand a gentleman named Simon Bak in Western Canada in the early to mid 80's bought it. A Spokane resident may have connected the buyer and seller at the time, his name was Steve Hughes who has since pasted. He (Simon Bak) sold it to a dealer PK auto in Ontario Canada. As I have found out PK auto advertised in Auto Trader Canada for several years. No longer in business from what I can find. I am still looking for any part of this car complete or remains. Please help if you can.

Thanks in advance

Update. I was put in touch with the gentleman by the name of Allan Weich. He did confirm that Simon was the gentleman who purchased the car and actually has pictures. These pictures were taken shortly after it arrived at its new home in Canada. Allan cannot confirm for sure who Simon sold the car to however he was going to check around. He's been super helpful and I'm very appreciative. As mentioned in the string it could be it was sold to PK motors in eastern Canada however I cannot confirm that 100%. Hope I have more information to share in the future.
