Beautiful car. My dad has I believe a 70 satellite. Not running, but think originally it had a dead 318, so he put in a 383, and that died after years. So he parked it, and one day he wants to get it running again with a 440 he has across the field. It's a big project, but he helped me with my Fiero, so I'm kinda obligated to help him when he decides to do it haha.
Thanks and awesome! Those are getting rare. Rusty rollers these days can be 10 grand alone. that's why I traded up :)
Exactly how an American muscle car is supposed to look! 😎👍👍👍
amen brother...
Nice RR! I have a 73 RR and a Fiero GT as well. More of a fan of the 71-72 RR's but the 73 was a steal for the price.
Thank you and no way lol!
I am a 72 RR owner .. Canary yellow all org 440 air grabber fully functional , rear spoiler an factory stripe ,single 650 holley op non 6 pack , pistol grip 4 spd , posi rear, AC/ all stock ...ect all matching numbers...i get it in july ..$54,000 Canadian
! Its 65,372 og kms car an mint condition ...i can not wait !!!
Very nice!!! Good luck!
Back in the day ('76 or so) I had a 72 Satellite as my daily driver. Same body style, just a bit tamer with the 318 V-8. I wish I still had it.
Nice. Wish I was around to see that stuff in the day!
@@FieroAustin I remember when I was shopping, seeing a Superbird on a dealer's used lot for around $3500. I gave it some thought abd decided I'd probably wrap myself around a tree with it.
Awesome ride guy ! Year I was born. I ❤ mopar 😊
Thanks! Same here brother
Wow..Love you're roadrunner..Probably one of the most awesome muscle car I've ever seen
Couldn't agree more!
I remember the dealer having a whole lot of these cars next to each other- about twenty of them. They were plymouth satellite sebrings and a couple of road runners.
Wish I could have seen that sort of thing!!! Amazing. Wonder if anyone thought that lot would be worth $1,000,000+ nowadays.
Beautiful ride!
thank you sir!
ABSOLUTLY BEATIFUL!!!!
thanks!
love the Roadrunner. Thanks for sharing!
Same here! Thanks!
Great Muscle Car.. My first car a 71 Runner.. a few years later I bought another 71 Runner..
something about this style.. Mopar Forever 😁
couldn't agree more 😎
Mine was almost exactly the same. Except the elestomeric bumbers and mirrors. No wing and Automatic 727 slap stick. Tried Holley carbs thermoquads Carters. Settled with the Holley. Got t boned in late 80s sure do miss it.
nice! dang what a ride. That edelbrock definitely vapor locks all the time. At least it's simple i guess. I might change it out some day.
This car is amazing, literally my dream car
lol same here man!
Beautiful car bud..I had a 74 satellite 2+2 triple white with a 340 loved it wished I still had it 😢
thanks man! I've heard that 340 cars were the most fun to drive from a few different people too.
@@FieroAustin it was..very quick for what is was lots of fun
Road runner is much better looking than the charger!!!
agreed it's better looking!
The bar stripes ARE reflective..... they were made by the 3M company( I bought a set to put on my '72 bird, back in 1982- back while parts could still be had at Chryco dealerships.)
yeah they're awesome! I put those stripes on, they were still made by 3M
DUUUUUUUUUDE!!!! That RR is Siiiiic ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥
thanks bro!
WOW super nice, I had a new 71, now working on a red 72 resto
Thanks! funny I got rid of a red 72.
My dad bought a 71 roadrunner brand new 4000 he was killed in it i love this car
Very rare car I love that look
Holy smokes man. My condolences.
Love my '72. I wish mine was a 4-speed like yours!
love mine as well!
Congrats on your 71 RR! Love it! I used to own a 71 just like yours in a calf shit yellow Imron paint. Looked nice with the black reflecting stripes like yours. Mine was also a 4 speed pistol grip. I put American Racing wheels on it, jacked it up like yours and put beefier tires on it, like yours. I really miss that car-never sell yours or you'll regret it like me!
haha sounds like a nice ride, i never will for sure. Thanks man!@!
Beautiful car i must say. I recently picked up a 71 satellite thats dressed as a roadrunner. Im probably gonna put a 340 in it but have to see. Got too many cars at the moment lol got. 68 barracuda fastback a 70 dart swinger a 72 demon and a 71 duster.
Nice!!! I hear a 340 is the most fun engine to have. Lot of mopars there!!!
Your speedometer is cable driven from a gear in the tailshaft of the transmission. You can change the gear to adjust for your rear gear and tire diameters.
thanks. i didn't notice till just not but I meant to say the tachometer isn't right! Any advice for that?
And if I'd have paid attention I would have realized you meant the tach. Anyways, I'd wire up a good tach just to verify your suspicion.There is only a wire from the coil to the tach so doubtful that's going to throw the rpm off. If it is off no choice but to pull it and have it rebuilt to fix it. Redline Gauge Works did a great job on mine.
@@jamesprodorutti2454 Thanks for the tip!!
1971-My favorite year of the Roadrunner
Likewise!
I like that body style a lot. The fact that it has a 383 is even better! Do not change the intake manifold. The Torker 2 has better high end power with at least equal low-end power compared to a dual plane.
Think so? I have no need for high end, but if low-end isn't compromised that sounds like a good deal..
@@FieroAustin You have the right idea. Single plane for the strip, dual plane for the street. You ABSOLUTELY lose torque with a single plane intake. That's the whole idea. You sacrifice some torque and make it up (and then some - with horsepower) at the big end (at the strip). Amplify that if the engine is bone stock. GORGEOUS car!
@@RobertSmith-js2kz right on. Thanks for the tips!!!
Gorgeous Car I love these old Plymouths 👍
Thanks brother and saaaaaame here
I own a 72 RR 340/4 speed , hemi orange could be the twin to this one except mine has dower white interior and does have the go wing . Built a 340 during Covid for it and dyno’d it at 435 hp 440 lb ft torque just a Crusier . You have a nice car
as do you sir... i hear 340's are the engine to have... very nice!
O carro mais legal do mundo!!!!
Legal? I suppose!
She's a Beaut Clark!
lol one of my favorite movies
I love the 71 and 72s, but like the body style of the 73s and 74s better.
the bodies are about the same except front and rear bumpers right?
@@FieroAustin yes
Very nice.
Thanks!
Very very nice car. BRAVO to you.
haha thanks although I can't brag much, since I merely acquired it lol.
Самый любимый американский маслкар. Выглядит бесподобно. Машина мечты
Thank you! Lucky to have.
Just down right beautiful!!!!
thanks man!
It reminds me of my 72 road runner orange 383 & every weekend the odometer was at 150 plus
@@tomd1519 nice ride.... i think i actually like the 72 rear bumper a little better.
@@FieroAustin I have a 82 trans am all redone suspension set up roll cage engine professional built all new inside and out I would like to trade it for a Mopar I can send pictures
@@tomd1519 afraid ill never part with mine thanks tho!
my fav muscle car, exactly as it sits. jealous...
took some patience to find.... was looking for a looooong time.
Looks great //////////////////
thanks man!
Yes, I have a orange GTX, but I always preferred this 71-72 body style. This would be the one I would have, beautiful.
Thank you!
Awesome!
Thanks!
Beautiful
thanks! just blew up the engine this week though :(
@@FieroAustin Oh man, well that sucks 🤦🏽♂️ hopefully you can bring it back to life
@@ManiaMusicChannel Me too! Video coming on that sometime...
@@FieroAustin will be looking for it, let's see what happened 😬
@@ManiaMusicChannel cyl #8 spun bearing :( not sure the cause.
i had a car just like that except army green
awesome.
Nice.
thanks
I've always had a-bodies and like I said in the previous comments I recently picked up a 71 satellite dressed as a road runner but there's something I'm unsure about with these 71s. Were rallye gauges standard in a 71 satellite and road runner? Also was a 150mph speedometer standard in a 71 satellite and road runner along with a factory tach? I'm asking because the 71 satellite I have has a 150mph speedometer and a tach and its not showing and indication of the cluster being swapped or even the entire dash itself being swapped. Also usually when people swap clusters or entire dashes they never get everything working again unless it's a restored car which my 71 is not a restored car and the tach works in my car and that's just something I wouldn't expect if the cluster was swapped out or the entire dash was swapped.
I might not be the guy to ask, but from my understanding rally gages were an option on both satellites and road runners, so it very well may have been factory. I have seen a 72 satellite with original rally gages.
Hey buddy how did your fiero run with the James brown harness, did you get additional tuning done to the pcm when you received it
James did all tuning included in the cost of the harness. Send him your PCM with the harness. See the harness section of the build thread for some details. You can be specific on what you want done or he can just take care of it. www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/139530.html#p11
Love you car take a trade
Not for sale!!!
You also have the Green Cap 6 cylinder Battery.
lol it was a repop, didn't know that was for 6cyl, what color was the 8cyl and where can I get one?
@@FieroAustin Big block 383 are Yellow Caps and 440/426 are Red Caps there's a guy in Knoxville sells them.
@@FieroAustin you can order just the caps on ebay
@@joemish1 Awesome thank you!
I have a 71 roadrunner with manual steering as well. How well does yours drive in the city?
like a 70s car lol!!!!
@@FieroAustin I did kyb gas a just shocks all the way around, rear sway bar with poly bushings as well as the factory front sway bar, tubular uppercontrol arms, poly strut rod bushings, boxed lower control arms with poly bushings, new balljoints as well as new idler arm and tire rod ends. Only thing I still have is manual steering lol. This thing handles as well if not better than my uncles new charger minus the manual steering lol.
@@FieroAustin I saw your video and almost painted mine hemi orange but went with sublime green instead lol.
@@allenpp6748 that or plum crazy would be my second pick!!!
@@allenpp6748 frankly i don't really like the KYB gas, definitely a bit stiff.
The Road Runner can be your 401k
thats an idea!
😮
For sell?
No sir.
when cars had style and individuality. this beast is not a bubble like everything else on the road. they are ugly.
thanks man!
Your doing that car an injustice by not driving it.
Lol I know. I haven't got the time though. I try to get it out a few times a year
As a fellow Car Enthusiast, I'd be glad to drive it for you. LOL. Beautiful car. I had a 72 Satellite when I was a young man. Ut was red also. Thanks for the video.
@@henryjohnson4061 LOL... then i'd have to get it out!!! very nice.
One last thing. Was flying a little to low in 1982 in a 72 road runner 383 3 speed in floor. Needless to say, 1 yr 6 months later I got out of the brace that held me together. Still, love those cars though. Take care and thanks for your time.
@@henryjohnson4061 thanks for sharing. OUCH!!!!
I ❤ RR Beep! Beep! 😁
same here partner!
Awesome!!!
Thanks man.
