Several years ago just outside of Pittsburgh, I looked at buying a blue 69 Hemi Roadrunner from the original owner. He raced the car heavily since brand new. He told me stories of drag racing a gold Yenko Camaro on I79 (Pitt to Erie) while it was being built; the highway was closed. He said he lost to that Yenko at least 50 times in 1969-70 until he built the 426 out and got it running 10s. It was awesome stories how the Yenko in its new form stomped that Hemi.

All I can say is had I known it would sell this cheap, I would have taken it past the $2,000,000.00 mark.
