1971 Plymouth Road Runner Walkaround With Steve Magnante | High Octane Classics | Burnout and POV 

Of course a 4 speed hemi car would be better but with this color, the interior, the graphics ..... this is a perfect 2022 cruise night car. Just stunning!

You can't score a much better walk-around than one from Steve Mangnante . . . and this Mopar deserves it!

Love the '71 Roadrunner. That iconic wrap around front bumper was a pretty cool design feature. The '71 never got the same love as the earlier models.

Steve Magnante is the absolute best! That is a sweet looking Plymouth!! And the sound it makes? Oh my!!!!

Had the 68 as a young man. These are something special! Nice MOPAR!

That's 1 mean machine you got there. Take care of her she is A masterpiece.

Looks and sounds fantastic

I've got a '72 RM. Factory pistol grip 4 speed. 383 out of a '68 Sport Satellite. Built it to '71 spec. B5 Blue. Love it

Absolutely gorgeous. I grew up in a Mopar family. In 1965 Dad bought a 1965 Plymouth Belvedere. Then in 1971 he bought a 71 Plymouth Satellite Wagon with a towing package. I fell in love with that body style from then on. Then of course King Richard said that the 71 was his favorite.

Never seen a 71 with that type of paint scheme! Nice ride!

My uncle had a slap stick. I am getting an 84 T Bird 5.0 delivered on Thursday. 10 thousand miles. Cheers

makes me miss mine back in 1988.... I miss her so much

Liking the addition of exhaust/engine sound and drive-out.....👍

My sisters 71' Road Runner (383) has the column shifter. That console shifter looks like a 73' Barracuda. I didn't know there were different configurations in the automatics. Good to know! BTW, hers is in Burnt Orange . She bought hers in Frankfort Ky. for $600 in 1980. Still has it. In the middle of a 40 year restoration project. lol

One of the best body styles ever made

My favorite car

Fuselage styling really set these apart from the previous boxier design. The first Satellite I’ve seen at Jim Riehl’s Roseville Chrysler Plymouth in October of 1970 was a beautifully styled coupe.

Diggin this format....

Beautiful car, odd that it has a 120 mph speedometer, would have thought late 72, 73 & 74. Thanks Steve, love the clips and your shows.

Ahh… love it!!! I got a ‘72 with 400/white strobes. thanks for the video

LOL I had a 71 Satellite with a 318 and it was a blast. Triple green.

1971 Roadrunner was the only year to have the roadrunner head in the grille, love this car.

Really enjoy the videos. The in car driving experience is a nice addition.

Good looking car!!

My friend Mark had a 71gtx with a slap stick automatic I love it 🎉

Love ‘71

Definitely healthier than my 72' SE 400ci Charger!

Well said! I always find myself looking for these experts to make a mistake when going over a car I happen to think I'm very familiar with too. And although he did skip a few things I felt are worth mentioning like the "air grabbers" on the hood aren't functional in 71' and the front grill RR emblem and rear bumper being unique only to the 71' RR as well. I thought he did a real good job going over it. What a sweet package - I even like the color. I saw @2:52 some idiot had hammered the "pos" battery terminal onto the battery post. I can't help but wonder what else is done poorly; or if the next owner will take care of it the way it deserves to be cared for. I hope it finds a good home and will be driven.

I know it isn't a "Kowalski Car," but I'd still feel like "Kowalski" driving this down the road. Thanks for the in car "ride" starting at 6:36 and sounds great when you hit the accelerator at times . . Take care.

Que engenhoso, que máquina linda, um puro sangue das pistas, parabéns rapazes.

Nice car! Looks to have the stripes cleared with the paint. Not original but nice touch.

Beautiful 'runner! Love that Halloween interior! Righteous car with very little amenities! They way a muscle car SHOULD be

YEAH THAT ONES COOL

Um verdadeiro e autêntico corredor de estradas.

Very cool car, love it.

Never did like these bodies, but if I bought one that be it, awesome example of one

4:11 They have a stripe decal kit on over the old one. That is nice workmanship!

Gorgeous automobile. 🧡

it was also a California car by the look of the tailpipes. emission standards called for downward facing tailpipes back then

With the VIN (from the HOC) website, we win: R for Belvedere/Satellite, M for Medium price class, 23 for two door hardtop, N for 383 V8, high performance, 1 for 1971 model year, G for St. Louis, MO assembly (Fenton) and the rest is the production sequence. The Fenton plant operated from 1959 to 2009.

Love this car but a few things that are off about the car. Overall, awesome

Very cool!!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍

Beautiful. Only thing missing is a 4 speed. Come On Man! lol

I bought it!

Pulled the engine- Changing to Serpentine Belt System, Front Disc Brakes, Power Brakes, New Gauge Cluster and Steering Wheel and much much more...

How ironic to be the 426th like, this is my absulute dream car, I had a 73 roadrunner with a 340 I in california in the Marines.

That's a faking nice car!!

oh yeah!god bless the american power

Nice!

I had a 71 satellite Sebring almost identical to that would a 318 wish I still had it

Those rear wheels look like 15x8s to me. Idk😊 super nice car

My friend has same with like 10 crazy options even a tape recorder and microphone

This car and i are the same age ...the car looks better. 😂😂😂

Love it Steve, I had a 70 Limelight 383 air grabber, I still smack myself for selling it.

I had 71 satalite 318 big block was a lot of fun..

kick ass car, and it has a/c

I had a 73 318 no real go. Different here in the U.K., though!!!

The fuselage body was the best I rekon. Don't like the boxy ones. Real shame it wasn't appreciated more.

Rather have a 340 than a low compression 71 383.

I would add the machine gun exhaust tips, if available.

Steve why is there a ghost Roadrunner in the bottom side stripe? It looked like it was put over an older Roadrunner

sooooo much better intro thsn some crappy music ..... thank you!!!!

Is that a 120 MPH speedometer? If so, should be a 150 MPH version.

Those were the days. RAD

I owned a 72 RM23U GTX. Great car but was a low compression 440 by then

With nitras

Looks good but where is all that oil coming from that’s right under front of car.

Had a 71 Satellite, "Sassy Grass GREEN" but otherwise looked the same.

Steve has accurately provided the information on this beautiful Road Runner. The information on the insurance industry war against muscle cars is correct, however he was wrong about the OPEC issue. The OPEC generated oil 🛢 embargo/ oil crisis didn't occur until after the 1973 Yom Kippur war between Egypt and Israel in October of that year. It was the Arab response to the western powers support of Israel. It was this action that put the final nail in the coffin ⚰️ of the 60s/70s era of the muscle car epoch. Know your history people!!!!!! Again, here in 2023, history repeats itself, and in this past October 2023, 50 years after the '73 war, the Israelis and the Arabs (Palestinians) are at it again. The question is, will OPEC do the same as 50 years ago especially with Russia now a member and the poor relationships that we now are in with the Russians and Saudi Arabia due to the incompetence of Joe Biden and his village idiot cronies!!!!!! Ponder this!!!!!!!😊

Missing the 150 mph speedo?

Rear strobe very badly applied, too far back on the pillar.

A guy here in ottawa had a beautiful white 440x6 barrel 1971road runner with air grabber hood knew another guy who had a 1971 b-5 blue r/t charger 440x6 pack car this guy Rick owned a 69 daytona white with black stripes was rough wonder what ever happened to that car one time in the west end a beautiful midnight blue 1971 cuda convertible with white 383 billboard stripe went by this guy and his dad were restorers of 1970 cudas and I got to see them build a 1970 tor red 383 shaker hood black vynal roof car

No weak men😊

In today’s world, the best never rest! Put a HEMI in it: but leave the badging.

Me to that was my error

Send it

Did Chrysler have a problem putting power brakes on overpowered monsters?

👍🌠💪

I bet they want a lot for it.

My 340 / 4 speed Road Runner would eat that 383 car for lunch.

So many things are wrong about this car. Having owned 3, let me point some things out. First the Speedo is a 120 MPH unit only found in the 1973-75 models. It doesnt belong to this car hence the mileage is also incorrect. "All these items are original" is an incorrect statement!. The strobe strip is in the WRONG position across the roof. The bottom of the strobe should be between the wheel arch, this one has it way past because the person installing it didnt realize that the upper portion is closer to the rear window. It looks ridiculous, and the person installing it should do something else. The 383 decals above the marker light are incorrect (originals are a more square design and 2 tone) The strobe coming from the call outs on the hood and going down the front fender were NEVER an option for this car, instead they were an option for the GTX. 15 x 7 rally's are not correct unless it was ordered as an option. Instead a stamped steel wheel was the flavor of the day and finally looking at the test drive, when accelerating the steering wheel is canted to the left to keep the car going straight but when he lets off and applies the brakes the steering wheel is now centered indicating play in the front suspension. I am assuming (even though you come across as knowledgable), that the speedo and hence the mileage is an honest mistake instead of someone trying to deceive the buyer into making the car out to have far less mileage than it probably did.

All those ugly black stripes on the hood and front fenders, and that awful "ricer" spoiler really ruin the looks of it. I also notice it is a CA car, as it does not have the correct exhaust tips. Also it's not a manual. On the other hand it does not have GHETTO REEHUUMS, it actually has the correct wheels and real tires.

Too many stripes.... one or the other, never both.

Not a "True" Road Runner, badgeing is not completely authentic! I know, I had a 71 myself, and knew the original owner.

Nice, except for the tires - they are ugly and poor performing. Why?

I was about to give this video a dis-like because no one meep-meep'd the horn, but right at the end there it was :)

Auto. Bummer.

So much is wrong with this car, incorrect in so many ways, and this guy sure doesn't know MoPars very well, lol.

B.s. car.

Love the car hate The motor I’ll take it 340 or 360 over 383 any day… To me the 383 is garbage but that’s my opinion for whatever that’s worth but I’ll argue that the previous motors at forementioned are a lot better than that
