Vehicle Description
Zoom Classic Cars is proud to present this classic muscle car, a 1969 Hemi Road Runner with 31,500 original miles. This is an all original, numbers-matching (with the exception of the paint color) classic. The current owner has owned the vehicle for almost 30 years. The vehicle underwent a meticulous nut and bolt restoration over 35 years ago to exacting standards. Since that time, it has experienced less than 2000 miles on the road. Due to the quality of the work done during the restoration, and the care taken since then, the paint and chrome still appear as if they were just completed and polished. Ten years ago, the 426 Hemi V-8 motor, and Torque-Flite 3 Speed Automatic transmission were completely rebuilt to exacting standards by Richard Conley (who was a builder for a NASCAR team) at Richard Conley Racing in Escondido, California. The motor work was done to a high standard, it revs fast, performs exceptionally, and will turn over 8000 rpm. The vehicle starts right up with no piston slap, and no smoke and has experienced less than 500 miles since the rebuild. The vehicle is pristine inside and out. In addition to the original engine block and transmission, the carburetor and distributor tags match the vehicle. It has all the original body panels, with pictures of the restoration included as well. The original paint was F8, Ivy Green Poly. During the nut and bolt restoration the vehicle was stripped, and repainted to another 1969 paint code, *999 Rallye Green (which is rare to find a vehicle originally painted in this color). The vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission on the column, power steering, power brakes, front disc brakes, front bucket seats, and redline bias belt tires. All gauges, headlights, taillights, wipers and the original AM/FM radio work. The antenna is being replaced as it was bent. The vehicle has a clean California title in the seller’s name and needs nothing. Within the last year the vehicle has had an oil change, new spark plugs installed, and new red line tires. The vehicle comes with a two-inch thick binder filled with documentation of mileage and the work that has been done to the vehicle from the restoration to the engine rebuild. In the 1969 model year, 84,510 Road Runners were produced, of which 48,549 were Hardtops like this one. Doing a quick bit of math, that means only 0.4819 percent of the Hardtops featured the Hemi engine. We'd define that as rare. With our research it appears that of the 421 Hemi Road Runners that year, only 187 were automatic, making this vehicle even more rare and collectible. This would be a stunning addition to any collection. If you’re looking for a classic with extensive documentation, high value, and outstanding condition, this is the vehicle for you! The vehicle has a clean title, is located in Escondido, California and the asking price is $149,000. Please call Tom F for more information at (269)-317-3955.
