Plymouth Road Runner Lives 1/4 Mile at a Time Since ’86

Chuck Stubeck is a retired LAPD officer who has some cool stories from the 30 years he worked in Hollywood. Today we are going to focus on his stories from the drag strips as he has been racing this Plymouth Road Runner since the mid 80’s.

Chuck purchased the 1969 Plymouth Road Runner of his neighbor while the car was pretty much brand new. The well optioned factory 383 4-speed Mopar was driven on the street for about 15-years, before it started a new life 1/4 mile a time.

For the last 20+ years the 1969 Plymouth Road Runner has been a Super Stocker. It currently sports a bored and stroked low deck 440 treated with plenty of go fast goodies including a Six Pack. The power is controlled by Pro Flight 727 automatic transmission and the best ET is 9.38 seconds at almost 140mph.
