My Coworker that tracked down the second owner of my Road Runner, today told me he found out the name of the original owner. He had passed away years ago, and Bruce had also told me this but could not remember the guys name. I guess his family, and friends that knew him, are still in the area, and he might know someone that has pictures of the car when it was new! I'm going to keep my fingers crossed. Doing some searching online, and asking locals questions, here is the old gas station my car sat at when Bruce bought it.

I just got word from the previous owners daughter, and she was excited to hear her Dad's car was being rebuilt. She was going to ask her Mom and Aunt if they had any pictures, and she would pass them along. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Best of luck on that. I wish I knew more about the history of Mutt and the 'Stang. I mean, I knew Mutt when he was Terry's but back before that...... And Truck the Dodge would be interesting, too. All I know is that it came from Florida and was bought at an auto auction somewhere though I don't even know where the auction was. We have a little history on Vanna the van as she was a handicapped van - we're the third owners and the second owner was in Murrell's Inlet, SC, just south of Myrtle Beach. Guess the only one I know from Day 1 is Nellie the HHR, one of the few cars I've bought new - well, ME and I bought her new which was a rare experience for me.
The history of a given car is always interesting to me.

Future laws. I'll leave that for Aaron.

I was never satisfied with the US Body Source front fenders I picked up years ago, so when I heard AAR/Stinger Fiberglass was now making front fenders for 68-69 Road Runners, I had to buy a set. They are so much nicer then the others, and they weigh 1lb per side less. These will save a ton of work.1 Photo
