The Pontiac Road Runner
A Pontiac Road Runner? That’s what everybody asks. Yes, that’s what I bought in April of 2019 on the auction website Bring-a-Trailer (BAT). I purchased it from collector Billo317, a gentleman from Indiana. When I placed the bid and then won, my wife said I was in wide eyed disbelief! Oh no, I just won a car! A 1960 Pontiac Catalina drag car called the Road Runner (before there were MoPars by that name).
A few days later I was in Indianapolis with my truck and yes, I did “Bring a Trailer”! With the help of Billo317’s mechanic and secretary the transaction was completed and the car was loaded. I headed south toward my home in Louisville, KY. I was elated as I received thumbs up from several drivers as they passed my open trailer. Through some tenacity and hard work by the DMV I was able to get it titled in my name. So technically, I am the second owner. (Billo317 uses a dealer license to help keep him on the right side of the tax man (or tax person these days!))
Car: 1960 Pontiac Cataline drag car
Owner: Tim Truax
Note: If you would like to see this piece of history, the Road Runner is currently on loan to the Swope Cars of Yesteryear Museum just minutes from Louisville, KY.
