426 under the hood, a true "Superbird", right down to the horn. He "beep beeped" when I nodded at him as he left. Made me wish my dad never wrecked his 68 Road Runner, was candy apple red with a 383.

Thats one of the rarest birds too, most were 440s or 440-6 barrels. You really gotta look at the numbers to make sure its real because there are alot of “tributes” out there, it would of had an “R” in the vin
Do you remember if you saw it in July? That would of been the “big Mopar show” at the fairgrounds.
It would actually be called Lemon Twist, fender tag code FY1… sorry but thats my Mopar trivia and OCD kickin in. My friend actually has the same exact car in yellow with a black interior, 4-speed, and 440-6bbl. I unfortunately don’t have one of my own pictures of it but here is one from his website along with information on the car from his website….
Didn't get a look at the VIN, but I did see the 426 under the hood and it had the badges on it. I think it was around July. When I lived out that way I use to see all the shows I could, Chevy, Ford, Mopar, Corvettes, etc. A car guys dream in that area.
There was a 'Bird sitting in a back yard in town for probably the whole decade of the '80's and even into the '90's. Weeds grew all around it but it eventually disappeared. Seems like it was the "Petty" blue but I don't know what color called it.
Close as I ever got to having one is slotcars---LOL!

My stepdad and I went to his friends shop today to pick up some tools he left for his friend to borrow, and saw this ‘69 Camaro the shop next store was working on outside….
While the place workin on the car is a hotrod shop, I don’t think they going to do that with this one Doug. My stepdad and his friend are friends with the owner of the shop and since we were over there today, I went to talk with him and he said its almost done. They just have to get the hood latch painted and put on, then take it for a ride. They were charging the air conditioning when I went over, and it was nice and cold.
Keystone Classics with Road Hugger tires!!!!
Nice to see an actual carburetor again.
Doug most of our local car shows have been rained out this year or a lot of no shows. I look forward every year for a few of these. Even our truck and tractor pulls have been rained out.
