Our ss/na Volare 1979 to 84

[Ross Family Racing]

Tom,
I was checking out your pictures and couldn't help but notice Norwalk , Columbus ect back in the day. The norwalk photo doesn't even look like the same track as today. Cool pics. And by the way , my brother had a Dodge Aspen bracket car that he painted exactly like yours back then. Great car.

Tom, were the spoilers and 1/4 window louvers part of the Road Runner package for 79, or a seperate option? I used to have an older Volare Road Runner, either a 76 or 77, and it was orange with just black side stripes, no louvers or front spoiler. Mine was a 318 with a 4 speed (actually 3 speed with O/D 4th). It even had a "Beep Beep" horn, although I don`t know if that was original, or if somebody added it before I bought the car, in the mid 80`s. A local racer has a 80 Road Runner, but his car has the square headlights.

Tom: I remember looking over your car at Indy. Maybe at Union Grove, Wi. also? It was well done, great looking and ran well.

Thanks for sharing these pics with us. -Al

The 1/4 window lovers & spoiler was a add on , but I've forgot what it was called.
Shadowoods built the car in the spring of 79.
In 1981 we Had Dave Koffel build a motor.
Alen thanks for the kind words.......I thought it looked great, but I just couldn't beat those Chevy wagons from Div.1

When I got it it was a 76 roadrunner, they gave me the 79 front end, tail lights,etc.
Heres a picture when Rick Fuller ran it.

Yes Sonny did say this was the same car, however when I owned this car is was alot different. I think the only thing the same is the roof and quarters. And yes I owned this car for 3 weeks.
