My dad worked at a Dodge Chrysler Plymouth dealership as a mechanic and body shop technician in the heyday of the late 60s early 70s muscle cars glory days indeed.
In '72 I had a 69 Z28 and my Buddy had a 70 Roadrunner 440 six pack pistol grip shifter, We raced one time and by second gear all I saw were his tail lights.
The 69 Z is a great car (my brother has a LeMans blue one) but not much could run with one of those big block Mopars. They were monsters. About all you could hope for was for the Mopars to break loose on launch (which they did a lot). The big block Chevys hung with them fairly well.
I had 5 Plymouth Road Runners. My first was a 71, then Two 73s. I had a 77 that didn't impress me at all. Next I had a 74. Mixed in between was a 70 Challenger a 70 Super Bee and a few other interesting cars. By 1985 I switched to building Street Rods. I picked up a 1945 Dodge 1/2 ton. I currently have Two 1940s Chevy pickups one is a 46 and one is a 44 Blackout. The 46 is a Flat Bed that is setting on a Highly Modified 95 Caprice Classic Cop car that belonged to the Madison county Sheriff here in Idaho. Though I no longer have any muscle Cars I did stock up on a few old Mopar V8s and transmissions. I get quite a Kick out of the Chevy people when they say they never heard such a good sounding Chevy, then when I open the Hood they see a Mopar under it. I personally look back with some regrets however. One is the because of my Addiction to going Fast I spent most of my money and nearly all my time with my Machines. My second regret is that though I had several Women who came into my life they didn't stay with me very long. They were looking for a Man who would settle down Marry, and have a Family. My Third regret is that my lust for Speed cost me physically. I was pulled out of my Challenger, and one of my Road Runners by Paramedics. I had a Blast when I was Young, but If I could go back I would have done things differently. If you look around you can still find some of these old Mopar Muscle Cars. One of my current Girlfriends Boys just sold His 68 Dodge Dart GT that was 90% restored. I'm relatively sure that He didn't get much more than $4000 out of it. He got married and had to sell it. The way I see it is that there is still time for you to get yourself a dream car. 😎✌

How I miss those days. I had this exact Road Runner back in 1973-1974 by far my favorite car. Lime Light Green, except mine had a 383 CI engine. The memories this brought back are some of the best of my life. Life was free simple and happy living.
Lucky man. I really miss mine, traded it off 46 years ago for a stupid mustang II during the seventies gas crunch. I had just got married and could no longer afford the high gas prices.

He had a friend who had a 1970 Roadrunner 440,they raced a marked off 1/4 mile and my dad beat him every time,the Roadrunner was coming but he just ran out of real estate.This was back in the days growing up in Detroit was fun and packed with good ole boys out of the south who came to the D to work in the factories.They were drag racing or sitting around picking good country music.
Guy around the corner from me in the late 70's had a orange 440- 6pack Super Bee with N50's on the rear......was parked all the time because he couldnt afford the insurance for it 😱
I agree with you on prices and style, but I sure wouldn't call today's cars underpowered. Not in these days of 5-6-7-800 hp motors. Not when 400 hp won't even get you mid-pack performance nowadays. Not when a Honda Accord, Toyota Camry or Nissan Altima with their optional motors will outrun a stock 383 Road Runner. Shoot, my wife's standard issue 2012 E350 Mercedes is as fast as my old Duster 340 was, with only 210 naturally aspirated cubic inches (and 4 valves per cylinder, direct injection and 12:1 compression ratio). You're at least 20-25 years behind the times. . . .
That's not to say you can't make the old stuff run. Because of the pandemic, my 67 Barracuda has been sitting for over six months. Took it for a drive yesterday, and DAMN it was so much faster than my wife's Mercedes or my Ram truck that it scared the poop out of me. Will have to drive it a few more times so it starts feeling normal again.

who else looks at all the other cars in the back round with all these old commercials and such...Interesting bumper i never noticed the big fog lights before and reverse
I especially like the bass playing in this song, the tone, the feel, the ghost notes. A lot of top 40 pop from this era had bass like this, they had some very good session players laying tracks down for a living back then.
When cars were built like cars and if you crashed them they didn’t crush like beer cans and you could literally see the gas gauge fall as the gasoline disappeared
These cars from 50 years ago did *much* worse in crashes than new cars today. The drivers and occupants were also much more likely to be seriously injured or killed. czcams.com/video/fPF4fBGNK0U/video.html
Today's cars are designed to have the engine compartment or the rear deck absorb most of the impact/energy from a crash, rather than the passenger cabin. Or would you rather have your engine in perfect shape while your body gets crush & mangled?

Look at the 400 horsepower six pack 70 Roadrunner... My air grabber looked just like the one on this car, and where this one says 440 on the back of the hood rise, facing the driver, where the turn signal indicators are, mine said HEMI... That motor was gone when I bought it in 1979, and it had a 383 Magnum, but it had been an original HEMI car, and that makes it hurt even worse, that I wrecked it in that drag race in 1980...

Sigh, that was back when cars were real cars. I remember when you could work on your own car without having to check with the computer first. I remember buying a Chevy K5 Blazer and the first thing that I did was take off that crappy Rochester carburetor and put a Holley quadrajet on it.
Computers are great, I love them. I’m from a different generation than yours. But computers are a live saving, it tells if something is wrong and what is the possible defective part.

I never could understand why Hippies smoked dope and protested the system when they could have been driving these bad boys. It would have required them to work.
Right? I'm not against hippies, but thanks to all the burnouts that didn't take advantage and buy these back in the day, now they're very limited to find, expensive and rare!! There could've been millions made if people actually dropped some balls and wanted to go fast!
Funny thing is that a lot of musicians in this era smoked... and could afford a whole stable of these fine cars. And some did. Oh, you meant be a slave to the system though. Right.
You are right about one thing, you don't understand. We could do all of the above, work or protest & smoke dope or walk into a dealership & buy one of these for $3000 or wait a year & pay half that for a used one, a good time to come of age.
The pistol grip shifter is legendary. My brother just got his Challenger Hellcat built for drag racing at a high performance shop in Delaware and he had them put the pistol grip shifter in. It's not as tall as the original and has a much shorter throw.
I work part time in a restoration shop in san Francisco Bay area,we store a 1970, yellow black stripes 440-6 in our shop since 2016,it has tennessee lic plates on it
When I was a teenager, I worked at a gas station and the manager had THAT CAR, same color and with a 440. He had it for sale ( gas prices were going up) but my parents were not interested in buying it. Gee. I wonder why. What’s wrong with a 16 year old country boy driving a car like that? 🤣🤣

He's not going fast but still looks pretty badass.
whoa, groovy tunes maaan. the tambourine is like soooo heavy. dont take the brown acid dude!
Great lines and all around daily driver 👍
If lived in the 1970s I would buy this car right after I saw the commercial
Did you ever meet George Washington?
@@curtisgeorge1566 lol I meant 1970s
Love the song and the Roadrunner.
Vaya el Plymouth Road runner de 1970 Uno de los Mejores Muscle Cars de todos los Tiempos
Si,. Bueno.
1:20. SO BADASS!
This is almost exactly what I bought in 1971. Except mine didn’t have a vinyl roof. Slightly used. Paid 3,000. Damn I miss that car.
what more is there to say? the writings on the wall. FANTASTIC car.
A car that sold itself... No words necessary
I think Roadrunners are kind of cool. My dad had traded a Toyota that had just jump time for a Dodge Dart Swinger. Sadly the car wrecked when a drunk fell off a snowmobile in winter.
Plymouth Road Runner with the 440 Commando V-8. Nice!🤟😎
Love the Sublime Green ! so glad white interior ended with the cold war !
For sure about the interior. Looks great, but a nightmare to keep clean!
Look at that car , man is that pretty
My turn signals didn't flash in the hood like that , must have been an option.
Did you check the small wires,under the hood that go to the lights? They're quite frail... especially after aging.
+71 Plymouth. I don't remember it having any wires but that was back in 1973 , it could have and I just didn't see them . I gave 1200.00 for it Wish I had it back.
Yep,i'm sorry you don't have yours... I've got a 70 GTX but the hoods' all rusty and that just might be why I see my wires to the hood mounted turn signals showing...
I was thinking the same thing. I currently own one and never knew them to be there. I know there aren't any wires.
Robert Williams 70 Road Runner or GTX? And congrats on having one friend,hahaha: Thumbs Up.
Less sitar, more 440+6 rumble
Wow man that tune is trippy!! I can dig it man......let's go to the beach in the Road runner and find some groovy chicks and get high and screw!!! Far out mannmn... Lol
@Bruce that sounds like a good idea how are you today be blessed my bro
Sigh, that was back when cars were real cars. I remember when you could work on your own car without having to check with the computer first. I remember buying a Chevy K5 Blazer and the first thing that I did was take off that crappy Rochester carburetor and put a Holley quadrajet on it.
Hey I love the Rochester in my 67 Impala! And my SS 454!
Me to I put a Rochester carburetor on my 67 el camino, thing ran like bat outta hell!
The Quadrajet was made by Rochester.
Computers are great, I love them. I’m from a different generation than yours. But computers are a live saving, it tells if something is wrong and what is the possible defective part.
@@Abdulaziz5777 don't need one on these old cars you can hear what's wrong
VERY disappointed that the “Beep beep” Roadrunner horn was not featured.
Hermosa maquina
🎶Drop your silver in my tambourine
Help a poor man fill a pretty dream
Give me pennies, I'll take anything
Now listen while I play.....
My green tambourine🎶
I like the GTX so much more then the road runner but the Road Runner decals are so awesome that I would buy one over the GTX
I love Roadrunners i got 7 models
Funny, the song was by The LEMON Pipers!
I´m glad americans are making great cars again.
Were*
Los Mejores comerciales
I was 13 then someone in my town had a new Orange one. Pretty.
The 70 was the best..beep beep...
I wanna go back !!!
Too bad this isn't a commercial. This is a Public Relations film where the soundtrack has either been lost, or simply replaced with The Lemon Pipers' version of "Green Tambourine".
Exactly. Fidelity doesn't match, too long, not shot like a commercial, on and on. I hate stuff like this.
Wow. Thanx for pointing this out
Awesome.
I miss chrome bumpers!
I owned a 70 GTX 440+6... Bad azz ride.. the RRs were fast too.
You were damn near the top of the pyramid!
@@katazack them wedges are super fast and better then a commando
This is filmed at Westlake Village Ca !
Type 3 torsion bar front suspension, Genious!
I never could understand why Hippies smoked dope and protested the system when they could have been driving these bad boys. It would have required them to work.
ahahaha,i actually agree. Mopar had enough goods to make them through the dope away:Cold Turkey...
Right? I'm not against hippies, but thanks to all the burnouts that didn't take advantage and buy these back in the day, now they're very limited to find, expensive and rare!! There could've been millions made if people actually dropped some balls and wanted to go fast!
I think you answered your question.
Funny thing is that a lot of musicians in this era smoked... and could afford a whole stable of these fine cars. And some did. Oh, you meant be a slave to the system though. Right.
You are right about one thing, you don't understand. We could do all of the above, work or protest & smoke dope or walk into a dealership & buy one of these for $3000 or wait a year & pay half that for a used one, a good time to come of age.
I thought the 70 road runner was the coolest car on the planet when it came out.
When Detroit had big BALLS !!!!!'
"There's no replacement for displacement"
Where’s the audio? I would have loved to hear the original commentary.
That was the original audio. It’s a promotional piece, not a commercial.
Beautiful car, but that song was brutal!
70' Road Runner the epitome of a muscle car....440+6 and pistol grip 4 speed..Chrysler sure did it right back then.
The pistol grip shifter is legendary. My brother just got his Challenger Hellcat built for drag racing at a high performance shop in Delaware and he had them put the pistol grip shifter in. It's not as tall as the original and has a much shorter throw.
@@johnnyduplantis Right. Those tall boys had a lot of seat height to clear. They sure looked great!
Had a 1970 GTX 440 Commando 4bbl 4 speed Go man go
I’ll take it!!!!!!
Ready for a funeral in that vinyle top.
Hard top all the way
Looks best and no rust fr leakage
I had one Identical to it but it was yellow with the black stripes.
I work part time in a restoration shop in san Francisco Bay area,we store a 1970, yellow black stripes 440-6 in our shop since 2016,it has tennessee lic plates on it
The lemon pipers
Yep ''My Green Tamberine'',goes perfect with this RR... I'm going to play it with my 70 GTX.
I had a 69 383.
I seen this car 1 time in all of my life it was yellow and black if I can recall correctly
Well, I was expecting for the Actual Cartoon Character to pop up ( the Road Runner bird) . 😃
....i wish i lived it
When I was a teenager, I worked at a gas station and the manager had THAT CAR, same color and with a 440. He had it for sale ( gas prices were going up) but my parents were not interested in buying it. Gee. I wonder why. What’s wrong with a 16 year old country boy driving a car like that? 🤣🤣
That might be the reason you still are alive today!
Too cool.
Whares the big wing?
BELLEZON DE AUTOMÓVIL 👌
This has to be the most inappropriate music for this badass car.
Sold I'll take one
It's one of those old cars.
Was the 383 the standard engine with the 70 Roadrunner?
@Paul Kersey That was what I was thinking. How close of an estimate can you give us as to 0-60 times for those cars?
Yes, with 440's and Hemis optional.
Nice.
