here is a picture of the lowest mileage A12 roadrunner in existence.

Thanks for the pics. How about the story behind it? Previous owners, how you got it, how much you have driven it, etc...?

Thanks

You wouldn't want to drive this one much but at the same time you don't want to be deprived of driving an A12 car, so that justifies you getting another one to dive. I'm only trying to help.

Holy Crap. Real nice.

I doubt that there is anyway to PROOF it as a 1 of 1 for any paricular reason especially for color combo as there is no factory back up to reference it with.

The car is a great original low mileage car and that should be enough for anyone to make it a stand alone car without having to taut it as something you can't necessarily prove.

However I DO know it is a 1 of 1 car just as all others are....it is the only one with IT'S particular V.I.N. :cya:

bought the car around 1997. it was a local car to me and it stood out in my mind way back in 1969 as i saw it race on the hutchinson river parkway just ONCE. i was a little grease monkey at 10 hanging out with the chevelle, nova guys in my neighborhood.
They raced every friday night and i tagged along with them.
they would drive up to the entranceway of the hutch on boston road. unload me and tell me to go get the slicks out of the trunk.
there they swapped out the street tires for the slicks and then i sat in the grass, and watched all the street races that night.
ALL OF A SUDDEN I SEE THIS BADASS GREEN RR. PULL UP AND IT WAS LOUD.
I SAW THE PROMO DISCS ON THE CAR, HE GETS THE LEFT LANE AND THE NOVA GOT THE RIGHT LANE ,THEY TAKE OFF AND IM MEZMORIZED BY THE STATIONARY PROMO DISCS STANDING STILL AS THE CAR WAS DRIVING. I COULDNT STOP BUT WATCH IN AWE.
SO IN 1997, I SEE THIS SAME CAR FOR SALE IN MISSOURI IN HEMMINGS.
I inquired and he sent me all the documentation via fax.
Sure enough it was rthe same car since it was bought at crabtree motors in new rochelle,ny 10 miles from my home.
i flew out to missouri and struck the deal.It wasnt the smoothest deal i have made in my lifetime but it was made. the rr had 1235 original miles on it and all 3 owners had the mileage documented and notorized so it is accurate.
since 1997 till now it has 1956 original miles.I stsart it up and pull it out of the garage and thats about it.
i drive my a12 superbee the most.i think its a pretty cool story.

Thanks for the story! Especially cool that you have an attachment to the car going way back - makes the car even more special to you.

 

[ShowAndGoResto]

WoW...love that!......it was in a magazine too yes? Mopar Action?
Awesome car...like to see more detail pics tho....

 

[SUPERSTOCKRACER]

OH NOW THE ODOMETER READS 1959 ORIGINAL MILES. I WENT DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND AROUND THE BLOCK. had to clean out the cobwebs a bit.lol
I've been running it quite a bit lately as my race car is above it on the 4 post lift and ive been trying to finish up the hemi so its in and out every night after work. it fires up w/o a hitch.

 

[Meep-Meep]

That is a great story and I'm glad it has a good home!

 

[383man]

Wow Chris that is really nice. I have to admit I have never seen that color top on a green car but it really looks good and matches the interior. Ron

Awesome car! Love the American flag on the trunk too!

 

[SUPERSTOCKRACER]

Awesome car! Love the American flag on the trunk too!

THat's the original American flag from 1969. He put it on his car right before he left for Vietnam for his 1st tour of duty.As well as the police sticker on the vent window.
The rest of the story is wild. When he returned from Vietnam back in 1973, he had no interest in the car and it sat till 1995 untouched. simply amazing.

I heard but not 100% sure if its true is that AGENT ORANGE had a big part of him not wanting to drive it.

Wow !!!!!

Pretty hard to top that car. The story about it may be as neat as the car. When I was a kid tagging along with the local gearheads,there was an A-12 Bee running at the strip. Bone stock 440/6v,4speed,super drag pak 4.10 dana except that he ran a set of J.C.Penney AF/X slicks. The car was running 12.90s thru stock exhaust. Give it up, Chris ! Have you run the RR at the track ? What did it do ? Inquiring minds want to know ! DK.:grin:
