Only 59 Road Runner 4-speeds were optioned with the mighty HEMI, only a fraction compared to its platform partner, the Charger. This car still retains its original motor, factory broadcast sheet, and fender tag. She is B5 Blue over black, bucket seats, and Pistol Grip poking up from the console. The restoration was recently refreshed, including a comprehensive Concours detailing of the engine bay.
