If we told you that we found a Hemi powered Road Runner on RacingJunk.com, you’d shrug and move on. If we told you that Hemi was a 14-71 blown 496ci Keith Black engine, you’d stick around. Well, it is and you need to learn more about the gnarliest Road Runner since ever. 

Sporting a totally fiberglass body, a tube chassis, and the aforementioned Keith Black Hemi, this is a truly unique drag machine. We had no idea anyone made fiberglass Road Runner bodies. The car would transform from awesome to epic if it was the owner who pulled a plug off of his own Road Runner to make the body. 

Looking at the photos in the ad, there is an S/C on the windshield which got us to thinking Super Comp, but that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense for this combo. That being said, the ad does say that the car is equipped with a delay box and throttle stop. We’d yank those bastards out before the car was on the ground at our property. This monster needs to be run out the back door Top Sportsman style. 

The trans is a three-speed Jeffco planetary unit that is spun by a Bruno-drive. That’s a cool thing all in itself. Developed in the late 1980s, the Bruno-drive is a special bellhousing that takes the traditional clutch out of the equation and replaces it with a torque converter. It’s a best of both worlds deal. You can be more consistent off the launch with a torque converter and yet you still have the full control of a manual transmission behind it. 

We wish the best ETs were listed, but the owner says that the blown motor has only seen the dyno, not the track. Buy this monster and let it loose!
