'69 Road Runner lost in a storage fire in Cheshire

[MartinD]

I've only recently seen pictures of the cars lost at a storage unit in Cheshire back in December, lots and lots of Ferraris, McLarens, Astons etc. One guy apparently lost 22 cars, anyway I noticed the Mopar at the back, a 69 Road Runner, I did wonder why it was missing its hood.........
& then thought A12
Anybody know the car?

Not much left of whatever it was in the foreground.

Some expensive stuff and a rare DB7 Zagato.

Maybe a good sprinkler system would have saved some or even all of them?

Judging by the wheels, a 458.

I can hardly look at those pics. History gone!! Can you imagine the insurance bill!!!

Just come across this old thread, sadly the 69 Roadrunner was a genuine A12, really nice car owned by a customer of mine. I did quite a lot of work on the car at the time. Unfortunately the insurance barely covered the value of the car. Tragic loss and the insurance company wouldn’t even let us remove the rare H stamped steel wheels after the fire.
Here’s a link to the car in it’s glory days

I'm not sure you ever saw my A12 Roadrunner - Seafoam Turquoise....

[Steve]

I havent Pete, looks really lovely. Ive only seen your orange one at the NEC. It was a stunning car to say the least

[Pete]

That was my A12 Dodge Coronet Super Bee...

[Steve]

Blimey, sorry Pete, my mistake. 2 doors all look the same to me

That was a really great car. It drew the crowds at the NEC to say the least. I remember helping you clean it and lifting the hood off etc. When I think about it, youve had some amazing, iconic musclecars over the years. Still cant believe that pic of your 2 winged cars in your garage

I cant imagine what the total insurance claim would have been after that fire, not to mention the heartache of losing cars that have undoubtedly had huge amounts of work put into them.

Cheers Steve
