This 1969 Plymouth Road Runner A12 was Chrysler’s original pilot car — the very first A12 package ever built, tested and tuned by Mopar legend Ronnie Sox before it landed a feature in Super Stock Magazine. Under the fiberglass hood sits a 440 Six Barrel rated at 390 horsepower, backed by a four-speed and 4.10 gears. Chrysler called it the fastest A12 ever built. Watch to see what earned it that title.
V8TV profiles the very first A12 Road Runner Plymouth ever built, the Wayward Beeper, tested by Super Stock Magazine in 1969 and driven into the 12-second zone by legendary drag racer Ronnie Sox. Its 440 Six Pack, 4-speed manual, and stripped interior were all built for one purpose, and the comments fill in the rest with period tire-pressure tricks and owners’ own Road Runner stories. Watch to see the car Chrysler itself called the fastest A12 ever built.
