This is a genuine, unmolested Hemi Road Runner. #s matching, born
with drivetrain. Original metal with a $45,000 paint job. Mechanics
were completely rebuilt by Mopar expert Kilpatrick Engine
($35,000). Only 1,109 Road Runners were born with a Hemi in 1968.
This one is an outstanding driver; it has rare power steering and
power disc brakes too. The car has 61,121 actual miles. A very
fussy customer/collector bought it in all original condition. He
had it restored while retaining its original components. He would
go out of his way to rebuild parts instead of replacing them. He
has put 1,000 miles on the car. He says as good as the car looks;
it drives even better!
EXTERIOR: The original paint was stripped to bare metal. It was
taken down to a shell including the entire front clip was removed.
We have photo documentation. All original metal with minimal
repairs. Every inch is laser straight, no issues at all. The panels
fit precisely. The original B5 Blue was reapplied better than new.
It is polished like a mirror, no issues. The black hood patch was
correctly painted. Door jambs are spotless. Rechromed bumpers. The
grill and tail panel look new. The door handles are new, stainless

controls are all excellent. It's not cut or broken. Factory in dash
tachometer and Am 8-track. Original glovebox liner with ink stamp.
All the bits and pieces are very nice- armrests, visors, steering
wheel etc. Complete set of seatbelts. It does have Cobalt oil and
temp gauges under the dash.

Conclusion: This is one of a small amount of Hemi Road Runners that
still exist and actually have the motor they were born with. This
one is also rare to have power steering and brakes. It's a "right"
car, no surprises other than good ones! Excellent investment, I
remember selling these for $35,000 and that seemed like a lot at
the time. Lol
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
