Diego, love the pictures.

I especially like the effect where the car is clear and the background is blurred. Great!!

I can't remember the whole story, but the car was used for some testing at Wayne State University in Detroit. That's what the seal is. Some guy at Mopar Performance found the car and bought it. It's a real 6bbl. car too!

They used it for crash testing...the white Mope would pull a car with a cadaver in it, get it up to speed, then WHAM! Pick through the pieces...

I belive that the Road Runner was used by the EPA to test emmisions from jet aircraft They would line it up and after the jet would start its roll they would chase it with testing equipment in the car

Rich,If you look in the Martin pictures from this year I took a close-up pic of the sticker.I can't find where it is right now to link it here but I'm sure someone will find it.
Diego,Great pictures.Were you the one standing right next to the guardrail?
Pete,Did you get your pictures as I was having some trouble with my email address messing up?If not I will send them again.

I took pics on Friday only. There was a guy taking pics by the guardrail both days, and there was Tom Shaw, the trusty guy who does articles in many musclecar mags. If you saw a guy with long hair, that was me.
