Simplicity Perfected - 1968-1970 Plymouth Road Runner

“Which was, subjectively, the best looking charger series ever built.” I agree with that 110%.

My brother bought one while on leave nov 69..his 70 was burnt orange..3 weeks later he was in Vietnam ..it had the pistol grip 4 speed shifter..man that car was fast..70 chevelle's couldn't touch it..he made it home safe..USMC 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I am the current care taker of a 68 Roadrunner (RM21 383 Four speed). My Old Man purchased it in 78 and held on to it for dear life and I am glad he did because there would be no way I could touch a Mopar from that era now. She is not pretty but does drive and I can attest to the AWESOMENESS of the Roadrunner. I love the down and dirty simplicity of the car. I would always talk about taking it to the Strip and my Dad always said "It doesn't belong on the strip because it is a Street fighter built for stop light to stop light action." Super fun to drive and gets looks, thumbs ups, and respect every where I go even though she lacks in the looks department.

When I was in college, a first cousin allowed me to take his brand new 68 on a date. What fun I had. It was dark green.

Always wanted one

I have always loved the roadrunners. Any Mopar from the '60s but the roadrunner has always held a special place in my heart.

Today, you cannot touch these on the Barrett Jackson auction they bring crazy money. But they sure are cool❗

After he returned from Vietnam, my uncle bought a '69 Roadrunner with the 383 and a manual tranny. It was a beautiful Vitamin C orange. The car had a pretty spartan interior with bench seats. What I remember about it the most was the sound it made. My uncle put Cherry Bomb glasspacks on it and you could hear it coming a mile away. It had a ferocious snarl that has stuck with me all these years. Unfortunately, my uncle totaled the car but it made an impression on me while he had it.

About time you made a video on the true king of muscle cars.

Back in the 1980's, I pulled in to a gas station in Riverside California to gas up my motorcycle. A car pulled in behind me It Was a Blue SUPERBIRD! The paint was shot,but the body was complete and dent free. I looked in in the interior I was pretty rough but complete. I remember is had a for sale sign on it.....$2,200! I knew about these cars, but a few yrs later, I wish I would have bought it.

My Dad was a clay modeler for Plymouth back in that day and helped the engineers put their designs into clay models. He quit in about 1969 and went to GM to work in sales for Detroit Deisel, Allison division. He was extremely good sculptor and loved the creativity involved in working with clay modeling of autos back in the mussel era.

A neighbor brought home a 69’ Road Runner, equipped with the 383 cu and manual in a nice medium blue. The car was stunning to look at, just loved the front and rear facias. The car is still today one of my favorite muscle cars ever produced. Meep Meep 😎

Thankful for that notification! Keep the awesome content coming. Mopar did make the most beautiful muscle cars in my opinion

Well done, I am the caretaker of a restored Vitamin C Orange/Black Int. 4 spd. '69 RR for over 25 yrs. Great video, keep them going.

Thanks for doing this video.. my dad had a 68 RE with the 383...

A 69 RR,I believe,turned me into, a muscle head. At the age of 5,my Mom's best friend,Helga,pulled up in front of our house in a brand new bright orange 1969 Road Runner. It had the two wide black stripes on the hood and fatter,factory tires in the rear. She seemed proud when she said she loved the car and had just recieved a speeding ticket for doin 90. She was from Germany, wanted to take it to the Autobahn. I've owned a muscle car ever since I turned 17.

I always wanted a Roadrunner but ended up with a 70 Charger 500 it had same drive train as a Roadrunner but insurance was 1/2 the cost because they said the Charger was a family car! I never did figure that one out but I didn't complain.

A friend of mine bought a 68' Sport Satellite, green vinyl roof, white bucket interior (no console), 4spd with a 383HP engine. It had the Magnum rims to set it off. It was super clean considering it was in New Jersey. Body was straight with the usual small dings and the interior was immaculate. The car was for sale right before I got my license in 1975 for $800. My dad wouldn't help me get it, so my friend grabbed it. I actually ended up getting a 65' Pontiac 2+2 with a 421/4bbl and an automatic. His car was stolen and I wrecked mine. I am 63 now and the memories of those cars, along with a Burnt Orange (I always called it a root beer color) 69' Charger R/T with a 383 and a TorqueFlite that roamed our town, are some of the best I have of my youth. There are a few others, but I'd be here all day reminiscing.

The carnof my dreams, in any year, color or equipment package. So beautiful it brings tears to my eyes.

I had a 1969 Dodge Coronet R/T with a 440 in it back when I was in my last year of high school in 1991. I sold it after restoring it in 1997 for $7,300. One of my biggest mistakes I've ever made was selling that car.
