B5 looks great on the Roadrunner. My 69 Dart Swinger 340 is the same color with the white bumble bee stripe around the ass end. Dodge and Plymouth had some genius designers back then -- look how timeless they are even today. I'm sure it's being enjoyed to the fullest!
My second car was a 69 road runner; 383 automatic in Rallye green with matte black hood strips (that spilled over on the front fenders) and a black vinyl top. Wish I still had it.
Ah Man, pure Muscle car Bliss. The way those engines sound are Music to my ears. My Dad got a 69 Roadrunner exactly like this as a gift for graduating High School!. Wish he still had it. This is my dream car. 🙏❤
I had the same 69 in B5 blue , 383 auto coupe with that tape stripe ! Have only seen a couple other 69's with that color / stripe combo across this great country in many years !
Two of my best buddies, when growing up, each had one of these. I can remember stuffing 10 or so people in the trunk and sneaking into the drive in. Still my all time favorite car.
I was in high school when all of these muscle cars came out from Plymouth, Dodge, Pontiac, Ford and Chevrolet. I doubt we’ll ever see so many timeless classic cars emerge simultaneously again!
I really miss those times. I had a 69 runner, the guys that we hung out with had a 71 Demon 340, 69 Camaro Z/28, 67 GTO, 70 Rally Nova, , 70 Superbee, 70 Boss 302 Mustang. One guy even built up a 63 Plymouth Fury. We thought that they would never stop making cars like that.The only new type car that I like is the Demon Challenger, pretty impressive with 808 horsepower from the factory.
my father had one just like this but it had bucket seats with console and a four speed. He had so many stories about that car. He bought it new right off the lot. Sure it was a magical experience for your dad.
A friend I had in high school had one just like that in 1983. We rode to school together in it, it was a beautiful car that sounded great, and with the 440 it was fast!
I have one exactly like it, same color, seafoam turquoise metallic. I love it, me and my Dad totally restored it in 1992-93 when I was 15yrs old. It's put up in the garage.
My first car at 17 yrs old was a 69 Roadrunner, same color with the 383 ,slightly oversized cam,headers, fat tires ...I thought my dad was the MAN when he brought that car home for me!!
Wow, that is my exact same story! Same car, same color, same age , same dad in 1974. It had 39,000 miles on it. Paid $1500 at a Dodge dealer. Still kicking myself for selling it a couple years later.
I have a 73 Plymouth one owner need some help slant 6 motor I need somebody work done to it I need some body work done to it and I'm looking for parts or a 340 motor with the tranny and everything look me up on Facebook
I have a 68 satellite that I cloned into a roadrunner convertible 4-speed big block teal white top white interior would probably get rid of it in the spring
Love those cars they look bad ass especially with big wide tires on the back with a high stance!!! None of that setting low to the ground bull shit!!! Sweet car!!!
Beautiful Road Runner with a great sounding V8 engine, could be the famous Chrysler 383 cubic inch V8. Car and interior are in super great condition. Nice.
I had one just like that one w/o the rally wheels .....hypo 383 auto on the floor and bucket seats. It was a very fast car and I still love it. Great memories.
My 69 Roadrunner was the same color blue. 383 Automatic, had black hood stripes. Bought it from my cousin in 1973. He was the original owner. Car had 18,000 on it when he sold it to me.
Ya I was there too me my best friend in 85. 86 87 88 89. Had both of us 70 chargers with Hurst pistol grip shifters 383 magnums. Lol fun fun fun we would get a case beer and go looking for muscle cars. 😀😀😀😀no lie 700. To 1200...$$$ would buy u a beast of a car in the 80s. Lol. We found many never forget. Those days. Wow Wow 😀😀😀😀😀Still drive those same rds....every now and then although it's changed a lot now. New houses everywhere I still see us and those fabulous mopars we had sipping on beers at 2 am. Metallica. Pink Floyd. Billy squire. A c. D c. Etc. Blaring. Through the radio and my buddy saying punch it to the floor lol lol Wow miss it but. Never forget it. 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😂😂😂😂😂🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠😀😀😀
I used to have a red 69 Roadrunner Hypo 383 with a factory 4 speed. That car was so fast it scared me a few times. I would like to have it now. I watched one sale on Barrett for 140k and that was at least 15 years ago almost made me cry.
Back-in-the-day, a co-worker had a '68 Hemi RR 2dr-post. He'd just picked it up @ a local dealer & absolutely HAD to show it off before our shift ended. Ashamedly, I can't recall if it had the A833 4-speed, or the A727 Torqueflite. I DO remember the hole shot he pulled outside our loading dock! It just axle-hopped its way up the street!.....needed shackles on those leaf springs like RIGHT NOW!
Charlie Christie if only we knew back then what we know now we would never parted with it. I was in the army had a 67 chevelle didn't know much about a car the clutch went out I traded it for 70 VW every time I see one now I get sick
I had a 69 super bee just the shell when I was 19 I’m 27 now. One of the biggest regrets of my life. Has to sell it to pay my mortgage. Tough times. I’ll get it back again. But beautiful car. Mopar or no car baby.
My cousin came by one day in a brand new 69. It was orange with. 383 4 o t f. Took me and my dad for a ride. It was coolest car I had ever seen or ridden in I was 10 yrs old. Lol
My uncle bought one of these before he went to Germany. When he came back he took me for a ride and being only 3 years old I bit his leather dashboard because I could taste it by smelling it, needing to confirm what I smell-tasted. I had Synesthesia as a child, I could also do complicated mathematical equations by a unique light sequence I see in my mind's eye.
I just aquired a '69 last week. My Uncle has terminal cancer and he wanted my brother and I to have his car. She has a lot of his own personal choices as far as body/interior and let alone engine. Car was an ultimate mess when my Uncle first got the car and did a full on restoartion of it and figured, it wasn't #'s matching when he got it why bother and built the car how he would've. All I can say is she goes like hell and handles like a new car would (as in 2019/2020 model). Cool having some of the original emblems and such (383 hood badge but she's rocking a bored out cammed 440
There was an old black guy who was buried in his old Cadillac. When you gotta go...go happy! Saw an old cartoon showing 2 angels standing on one cloud looking at another old angel on his cloud riding in his big luxury convertible with some hot angels riding along. The caption was, "And we believed them when they said you can't take it with you."
Had a fire engine red with black vinyl top I bought used in 1972 with 29,000 miles I paid 1900 dollars and thought that was a little expensive....within a year I flipped it 3 times at 90 mph and survived.. I've owned many fast muscle cars but this was the fastest stock car I ever owned..
My wife and I had one when we got married 39 years ago, same color, same interior, same side stripes, same wheels but ours had a white vinyl top that I dyed black. Paid $400 for it, drove it for a few years and then sold it for $650. Beep! Beep!
Love the double reflective stripe. Had a performance red one with those stripes. Had the black hood stripes and an air grabber. Was also a 4-speed. Car also came with GTX/Sport Satellite taillights from the factory. Amazing how they stuck whatever they had in them on the assembly line back then.
Jeff Barker Exactly! Everyone who saw the car always said “that cars got the wrong tail lights in it.” Like they would deduct points for a concourse restoration. Nope, actually if I took those out it would actually be less original!
@@jackgtx440 Right??? Lots of "Experts" out there these days. This one has a dual snorkel air cleaner on it, and I have lost count of how many people tell me "the air cleaner is wrong"! I've seen pics of the same thing on other Road Runners also, so who exactly would ever know for sure what it left the factory with? All I know is that it's a kick ass car, and I'm lucky enough to own it! Best to you my friend!
Jeff Barker my old road runner also came factory with Plymouth Division full wheel covers. I never saw another one like that either. We know all the 68 road runners came with the unsilenced air cleaner and the 69 came either with unsilenced or air grabber but that doesn’t mean they weren’t out of unsilenced on the line and some went out with dual snorkels
And that's exactly what's needed now. Cars today are over-engineered plasticized junk. We DO NOT need all the electronic BS in cars today either. Maintenance and repair costs are ridiculous. I'd kill to have my '70 Chevy Nova SS 396 back ( but without that monstrous, gas sucking 396 though. :) )
@@OneLastHitB4IGo I think you're having selective memory my friend, new cars are much more reliable than our old cars, it's seemed like I was always working on something, I never went anywhere without my tool box in my trunk, those cars are beautiful but they were a handful to drive, all that said, I'd trade my newer car that RR in second, what a beauty.
@@bigredc222 Your point taken but, wasn't it nice that back then you could at least work on your own car if you wanted? Today's junk(and that's just my opinion) is designed and built so you cannot do that yourself anymore unless you've got a very expensive, fully equipped garage and the knowledge. The electrical/technical systems alone are a nightmare. I haven't seen a new car yet that was worth anywhere near the prices they want for them, either.
Back in the day things like PB, PS and A/C were still considered expensive luxuries to a lot of working class guys. Nowadays we take them for granted. I had a '69 Nova with a transplanted 454 engine once and pulled the engine, tore it down and completely rebuilt it except for the valve job, which I took to a local machine shop to be done, and did it all myself with a little help from my dad in about three days while on leave from the Navy. I wouldn't even try it on a modern vehicle.
The infamous Plymouth Roadrunner I like it at End the infamous" beep beep" roadrunner and Bugs Bunny cartoon back in the 70s when they put the commercials out beautiful baseball apple pies and Chevrolets🇺🇸😊✌GOD bless America@
@@tex3578 oh my dad was cool too. He special ordered a 68 belvedere with a 383 w AC vinyl top from chrysler for $3600 it took 4 mos to delivery. I was 6 yrs old but remember how fast it was BTW B5 the nickname was electric blue the dealer told him and white vinyl top.
That poor car I had [RR] was a accident magnate ! Only had it 3 months & was rear ended slam into a line of cars in Washington state , was repaired ! Then when I moved to LA Cal. was side swiped at a drive in , later on was hit head on at a intersection [ new nose section ] ! Then after I moved to NY / LI after a couple years sold it a guy who a year later sold it to a young guy who later t-bone a big tree to really wreck it !!!!
I had one when in collage, 1969, same color, 4 speed and 383. Fast car, wished I still had it. The trunk on this one don't look like mine, mine didn't have that inset
I had 1 of these when I was 15 I wish I would have held on to it.mine was a 2 door with the wide post between the 2 side glasses vinyl top 383 with hurst4 speed it was dark green I got it in 1979
MINE HAD HOOKER HEADERS AND 3 BOLT FLANGE THRUSH MUFFLERS AWESOME SOUND GREAT CARS NOW A MUSTANG GUY ALMOST BOUGHT A ROAD RUNNER IN PIGEON FORGE A FEW YEARS BACK $27.000 NEARLY TEN TIMES NEW COST
