Elephant Tamer – 1969 Plymouth Road Runner 426 Hemi
A few years back, Al got a hankerin’ for a new ride, and not just any ride, a Hemi. He found a badly beaten 1969 Road Runner for sale, then heard of a Hemi for sale locally.
Whether you love Ford, GM, or Mopar, you gotta appreciate the Hemi. It is a pure piece of American ingenuity whose design has withstood the tests of time—measured not only from short burst of quarter-mile passes but also running hours on end at 200-plus-mph speeds on big oval tracks. Those familiar with this beast know the Hemi is an animal that can be quite ornery at times. The quest to tame the Elephant brings us to the mean streets of the Bronx, New York. Longtime car enthusiast Alan Lindenberg has been tweaking cars since his childhood. The son of a mechanic and machinist, Al learned the trade as a bodyman and mechanic. He has since had a 43-year career in both private and government fleet maintenance and repair.
