When I got back from Vietnam in Dec 68 bought 1968 Road Runner with a hemi it was a bad ass car for less than 3k. No Chevy ever passed it
You didn't get a hemi road runner for under 3grand. You got a 2door post car with a383vand a 3speed don't lie to the folks. I'm of that age and I owned them.
@@saddletramp6935 I did buy Hemi 4 speed RR for under 3k. The car was famous from the town I have lived in my whole life I have plenty of people to back me up not words
I had a '69 Super Bee back in the early 80's. As of now I have owned my '69 Road Runner for 23 years already. It ALWAYS turns heads and I get thumbs up!
The Beep-Beep horn was a detuned Volkswagen horn! The interior was from the Taxi cab.
In 1970, under 25, stationed Ft Monmouth NJ, insurance was impossible to purchase for a RoadRunner. Even as an E5 most of my salary would have gone to pay the insurance, if any company would even sell me insurance!
1969 Satellite, 383ci, 335hp, 4 speed, posi-tract, carpet, bucket seats AND roll down rear windows.... It only weighted 300lbs more than the RR.
Insurance, Two dr. hardtop, std. transmission and military discount, less than my wife's VW bug!
Thank You Hot Rod magazine!
Thanks, same Here.. my Insurance SPECT OUT reasonable, , as keeping Car in my Parents Name, &/fairly cheap & low optioned , ROAD RUNNER (** the Hemi was Way to expensive in all Ways)……& , I was “pausing “after two years ARMY ROTC (1965-67, SSG, HONOR GUARD, PURDUE Cadre): ordering my RR in late 1967(** actually forgotten EXACT DATE), unfortunately(** or fortunately depending on Viewpoints) I decided to STAY IN PHARMACY School & be a 1970 GRAD…
Road Runners base model was base but they had several different deluxe interiors to chose from...Most Road Runners were not the Taxi Cab interior versions..
You could get a loaded Road Runner,a/c,rocker trim bunch of chrome/stainless trim and 2 tone interior that the price was as much as a base GTX! You could get a bench or a slpit bench and 2 bucket seats and a buddy seat or those 2 same buckets with a console and floor shift automatic..
I love the plymouth road runner . Im 69 now , but when i was 17 i bought a 1968 road runner 383 4spd. canary yellow ,( not my favorite color ) . man that car was fast . I am seriously considering getting another one .
I own a '69 Convertible RoadRunner. I grew up with it ( I'm 50 now) and it was my late Uncle's and I inherited it. Will never sell it.
🏆I had a 69 Super Bee 383 4 speed & 69 Coronet 440💥 wish I had them now 🍀awesome cars 😎✌️
🧐You teamed up with ⚡ fusion kid ⚡ well I'll be 🍀Golly😆✌️
Great memories from high school times here. The Ford Torino GT boys would cry like babies when they got smoked by one of these true factory hot rods.
The most iconic muscle car. Long live Beep-Beep!
Motor Trend Car of the Year for 1969.
When I got home from Vietnam in April of 1968, I bought a ‘68 Roadrunner post car with 383/4 speed and one option: an 8 track tape player. This car was $2,900 plus tax. The Hemi Roadrunner was an additional $713.
My favorite Mopar!
More road runners
Thanks: great Car stuff! Interestingly, I ordered a early FALL 1968 RR(?)Green Ext/ *Black Deluxe int (* the no CARPET,TAXI Cab style was to austere even, for Me !!)/* Fan Declutch(?) , Power Steer/ Brakes ( oddly, if Memory), rest Basic : anyways, reneged good dollars , Deal & losing my $200 Deposit…Though, some Friends & I checked the Special Order out, appeared to be a fairly good ROAD RUNNER PRODUCTION; dealer selling immediately…There was a lot of hype &advertising around Purdue Campus & Lafayette, INDIANA for the “ ROAD RUNNER CHEAP PERFORMANCES “…….
Ps:: oddly, do NOT* remember having *HURST SHIFTER , for the STANDARD 4SPD: the other brand?? I heard some ROad RUNNERS were non- Hurst . And, Rethinking, it may have beeN A $ 250 DEPOSIT, I LOST…..BY RENEGING….
I have a ‘70 Satellite convertible cloned up to look like a Road Runner. I also have the Coronet fenders and hood, hood extension, nose cone, and tail with wing washers and trunk supports. A few more bits and pieces, and I hope to field a one-of-none “convertible Superbird”.
I would like to see Mercury Cyclones
Couple things wrong..
It was not based off the 1950's Plymouth!!! B bodies never came out until 1962..B body was the cars platform..
Dodge Super Bee came out in 1968 same as the 1968 Road Runner and the name Super B was a play off the cars platform a B body that came out in 1962 and changed /upgraded by 1968..
They shared the same name as the 50's car but it was not a 1950's Belvedere..totally different chassis/platform/everything!
True base model Road Runners were stripped out versions but the majority had deluxe trim and chrome/stainless trim..Bench seat..Split Bench seat,bucket seats with buddy seat and same bucket seats with a console..
Its actually hard to find a plain Road Runner they made a very small percentage of base model cars,most had carpet,deluxe interiors and more options..
1971 Super Bee was changed to the Charger body as the Coronet that was the Super Bee's body just went 4 door and wagon no 2 doors.
The 1976 version is a F-Body again different from the B body 9but similar)and 100% different the 50's cars...The 1976 Dodge Aspen and Plymouth Volare the Road Runner was a trim package on the Volare..The 318 and 360 could have loads more power by removing the lean burn computer,adding a vacuum advance distributor and Mopar orange box ecu and swap the carb,you gained 50 hp! The lean burn and smog carb just slowed them down tenfold..remove the cats restrictive exhaust manifolds,either pre smog manifolds or headers..I had a Volare Road Runner with the E-58 360 and gained 2 seconds in the 1/4 mile by doing just that..I do have a 69 Super Bee 383 today and a few more! I have a 68 Road Runner needing restoration that we will start next summer once the projects we have now are done!
Good job.
How does the 68 and 69 charger and challenger compare to each other 1:50 pm
Beep Beep!
I had a 1969 Black Roadrunner 440 six pack. Stolen:(.
Why are you showing the sixty nine, Sixty eight was the best year, My opinion, The original bad bird
I’ve heard that crap about the Superbird many times it was virtually impossible to convert a SB back to a regular RR. The SB had 70m Coronet front fenders and would not have been feasible to do so. Very bogus crap. Yep I’ve forgotten more about MOPARs than you will ever know.
Thanks, yes ..l interestingly, I seen SUPERBIRD in downtown Lafayette Indiana Spring 1970…. Way to long for parking, & Kitschy Looking. THOUGH had **test driven a new DART GS (??a pursuit
Build, tires/ Shocks/ Disc Brakes,Etc upgraded , but Dodge Green)….. Dart was Incredible fast & tight Handling. interestingly, I bought a new 1970:Coronet 500/ loaded 383/Duals Exh/ Snorkel, was a March 1970:BUILD, keeping for 16 years ( rusted out BAD,n Indiana )….
