Any chance of a photo or two?


All the photos of "back then" are paper photos.

Currently I'm redoing the car and it looks like this:

Purple Hornies sound great. And I think I saw that they are being made again!

Here's some 'day two' from these parts...


With a license plate in back...


Just saw him out the other day...

A little on the radical side...

Air shocks to compliment the excessively wide tires, mounted on the improperly backspaced deep-dish mag wheels.

Doesn't look like a day 2 car to me, that's years later people were doing this stuff.

Great ideas guys & thanks for the pics, I was still at primary school in '69 & to be honest I probably never saw a '69 Roadrunner in the flesh until I was almost 30 as there aren't too many of them here in New Zealand, hell I had never seen an E-body Cuda until mine rolled out of a shipping container 25 years ago!

Found this on ebay last night, looks well used & that's the look I'm going for.

I was looking through some of the ignition parts I have for my Pro Stock Hemi project to see what would suit & need some input please.



I think the mag would be too much, is the Mallory double life too old?
How about one of the tach drive units, I have factory cast & aftermarket alloy units.

I think I have one of these coils hidden away somewhere, is this the right one?

Yes that is a super coil but the decal looks newer than the 1970 one that I still run on my Barracuda. But, who would know that it's not old school.


it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

Are those fiberglass genders from the dealer?

Make sure you stick some white lights w/toggle on the dash mounted down on the back of the traction bars or hook a toggle to the reverse lights so you can cruise with them on meaning you are looking for a race.

I think the old Edelbrock TM6 ("B" block) or TM7 (RB Block) single plane really look period correct to me. I though they called them Tarantula intakes?

I decided on these Ansen valve covers, hopefully they are close to date correct as I do like the look.

Those look exactly like my really old Cal Custom valve covers that I've been saving up
Are yours cast in Japan?

Yes they are cast in Japan, the seller said they were Ansen but I think they have the look I'm after whatever brand they are, cheers

I have a spare Donovan geardrive that I could use on this car, would that be taking it too far or quite acceptable?
