I thought you'd like a look at this 1969 Plymouth Road Runner in action. It's powered by a 383 V8, with an Edelbrock intake, 4 BBL carb, coated headers, and Air Grabber induction. All the power is being funneled through a hurst shifted four-speed manual back to an 8 3/4 rear. This car runs out strong and it's in absolutely immaculate condition. It's as clean in the engine bay and underneath the car as it is on the outside. The interior looks showroom new as well. This car is a proven show winner as well. I hop you find it interesting....thanks for watching!

I was 17 in 1974 and a friend told me about an old guy that had a 1969 Roadrunner for sale. I worked on a golf course for $2.50/hr and I bought that car. My first car. It was yellow with buckets, had the posts, no AC, AM radio only and a black vinyl top. The engine was a 383 and a Hurst 4 speed shifter. Looked like new. I was so proud to own it. I think I waxed it every weekend. The years passed and I went off to college and sold it for what I gave for it ($900) in 1979. I think back to those years. The fun I had. The girls, the parties. If I could go back I wouldn't change a thing. Man was it fun times. Sorry for carrying on.
Hi dave, sounds like a fun time, wish I could've lived through that era.
Wow, great story! , I was 18 in 74. Bought my 69 RR in 72. Got caught sneaking it out of the garage when parents weren't home. Had to wait till I was almost 18 to get my DL.,
Like you, I cherish my youth driving that RR for many fun years ( and many tickets ).
We lived iit up back then and didn't even know it. Great time to be a kid. Here's to our beloved Road Runners. Cheers
I hear you !
I wasn’t allowed to get my own car until I was 17, but I wore down my parents and got mine at 16 and 8 months 😊 Damn near exactly like this one, but white with slotted mags and BFGoodrich Radial TA’s. I really concur with your last six sentences!! 👍
When I was fifteen my friend's parents bought him one of these for his seventeenth birthday, it was 3 years old with only 5,130 miles on the tick. Black in color inside and out, 383 4 speed in superb condition. I'll never forget how good the original exhaust sounded, just a beautiful car. Two weeks later, it was in a wrecking yard. It was two rows back from the 65 mustang he'd crashed a few weeks before.They'd bought it new and drove it for awhile and saved it for his sixteenth birthday and he ran it through a store window. Believe it or not, that's how we lost many of these muscle cars, in the hands of drunk kids. I remember it well.
Of all of the cars I drove in my youth, the 69 Roadrunner, 383, four speed, heavy duty clutch, and a 66 289 Mustang were the best. The feeling of the power behind the wheel of the RR was beyond words.
It really is one of the nicest to ever roll through that place. The car is near perfect. Thanks for checking it out.
Gorgeous Road Runner ! I grew up in the 1960s, American car manufacturers were at the top of their game back then....style & performance sold lots of cars !
Miss those cars completely. Liked nearly everything about 'em. Good times, good memories. Now, if we'd only known (back then) to hold on to 'em...
This is definitely one of the nicest I've been in. It really runs out pretty strong. Thanks for checking it out!
This car brought back good memories of my youth........ made my eyes water up 🙂
I had a 1966 GTO, , lets see I bought in 1969 still in high school, oh ya I had a great Job at 17/18 worked in the grocery business, started working at 16 and put 20 yrs in that job
@Charlie Miller by the way my name is also Charles W Miller funny unnnn
Just get a stupid smile
Coyote catches you your through road runner
Not the rich smell of the exhaust
3rd. gear rubber. GOD BLESS AMERICA!
I heard that tooo...absouloutly killer
Agree
Yup... a squawk and a pinch. I bet it could actually do more when it hits 3rd...
+Arthur Hilliker you are talking about a 335 hp motor.
It's like an average v6 now.
Not very fast.
@@heatherslut5333 You know that motor Is not original Very little needs to be done to get 400 horsepower plus . You have to put a supercharger or something On a V6 to get that much Also let's not to mention the torque that things putting out there's no way you could turn the tires over in 3rd gear if that car had a modern V6 in it
loved my 69 roadrunner 383 and a beeb beeb roadrunner horn!!
This is the real Beast. A proper Muscle car.
It's design reflects pure robustness and freedom- the kind that says "If you stand in my way, I ain't drifting past you like a tuner or shooting past you like an exotic...I am running you down, you sick little B*tch".
This car is wild, untamed and free. Blessed are the ones who have it!
I was 16 when I bought my 69 RR in '82 and still have it
Thank God you didn't sell like I did.its been haunting me for years I'll get one soon I hope.
Rich parents?
Bought a 1970 cuda in 1978. Rebuilt it back then. Still have it.
I'm 62.
@John Carboni cool, back then a dollar would go a long way
Mine looked just like this one. But I had the Automatic. Sure wish I still had mine.
That is music to these old ears!!luv that sound, AMERICAN MUSCLE FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you liked it....thanks again for watching!
Grew up with a 1969 1/2 Plymouth Roadrunner in the garage. All white...383 Magnum, all original...54k miles and completely restored. Dad's toy and is one awesome car.
I bought one new. White with black hood stripes and black vinyl roof. Duane
Never heard of an A12 Roadrunner with a 383 Magnum engine
I agree and unlike most new cars, this car has the potential to be worth more, years down the road. This one really is a beauty and it sounds amazing. Thanks for taking a look!
Awesome car man!! I bought a brand new green 1969 Roadrunner for $2,850. 383 CI and 335 HP. Four speed Hurst, sure grip differential, heavy duty brakes, heavy duty clutch. Funny thing was it did not come with a tach. I never did put one in. Just shifted by ear. I loved that car. My wife learned to drive a stick on it and she got rubber out of all four gears!! I had to go to Fort Knox for Basic Training in 1971 and I was afraid she would wreck herself and the car while I was gone. I traded it in for a 1971 Super Beetle. I almost cried as I walked away from the car. The bug was also a fun car to drive and great in the snow, but it was no Roadrunner. I still have the bill of sale, window sticker and some fond memories. Thank you Chrysler Plymouth!!!
You did the right thing. I briefly put my wife in a 67 Coronet 440 with 383hp bone stock, 727, 3:55sg rear, and skinny oem white wall radials. Car ran mid 14s/low 90mph in daily driver trim.
Wifes first car with some power. Shed drove nothing but 4cyl cars at this point...
I warned her about passing other cars. "Always pull into the passing lane first before flooring the skinny pedal"...
Morning rural commuter traffic and a local farmer pulls an arsehole move driving down the highway on a tractor.
Im not sure what happened but she got angry and matted the skinny pedal before pulling out to pass. She didnt crash the car but she did have to return home and change clothes.
Put her in a slope 6 Dart after that.
I'm sorry but that would keep me up at night. If my wife didn't have enough common sense to drive a fast car with respect I would find another wife. You could have parked it for 40 years and made an easy 30 grand. I bet that would have paid for half your house if you bought one when you were younger.
@@gordongreninger6109 Well at least she still had 145 HP.
At least in the bug ya get good gas mileage but still not the same having a V-8.
It was one of the best cars I looked at all year. It is beautifully restored and as you can see, it runs out really strong. Thanks for watching!
RamblinAround omg are you kidding? BEAUTIFUL !!!! I love the paint job just gorgeous !
RamblinAround : what was the horsepower !
I still have my Roadrunner jacket from 1969 when I belonged to the Van Nuys Roadrunner car club. We would meet at a Pizza place on VanOwen and the BLVD. After the meeting we would cruise the strip. Club night was always on a Wednesday night and would get into races with other club rivals. ity of Van Nuys closed the BLVD down and no more cruising. We still did it anyway! To much fun in the old days!
Does the jacket still fit? Lol
Between 76 and mid 1980s I owned Two 1969 Roadrunners. Both had original 383 Magnum with 440 heads. One with built up Automatic and other with 4 speed, Hurst shifter and beefy Clutch that my strong wife couldn't push pedal to floor. 12 bolt Dana rearend and basically stock otherwise. 2017 cars are faster and easier to drive, also better brakes and a lot safer. Still, this 60 year old would prefer a 1969 MOPAR to all the Muscle cars built last year. Can't even explain why.💝
Because they had CLASS, style and were all DIFFERENT instead of all looking alike. Also, you could actually work on your own car instead of having to take it to a dim witted mechanic with a big "Sun" computer to fix it!
383 & 440 came with the same heads, the "906". The only thing that changed was valve springs depending on installed camshaft.
Plymouth had the Road Runner engine/Super Commando, Dodge had the Magnum and Chrysler had the TNT! The 383 and the 440 both used the same heads, cam, carb, intake and exhaust! My first car was a '70 GTX when I was sixteen, in 1979-80, with a beat 383 Road Runner engine in it and an auto on the column, the original 440 4 speed was swapped with the Road Runner as the Road Runner was switched to the 440 4 speed with the 6bbl setup on top! I built up the 383 pretty good and won five out of seven races with it, and then, I lost second gear and sold it to another kid who had a bunch of MoPars in his back yard! They all landed up in the junkyard about twenty years later when he moved back in to his mother's house after she died! He got the house and several months later, the city caught up to him and made him clean up the property! He told me the story when we ran into each other a couple of years later! He had my '70 GTX, a '70 Coronet 500 383 Magnum 4 speed, his mother's '71 Road Runner 383 4 speed, a '69 Charger R/T 440 Magnum auto, a '70 Challenger 340 auto, a '71 'Cuda 383 auto and a '72 Challenger 340 4 speed, if I remember correctly! The '70 Challenger 340 was his street racer and he used to describe it as almost a Hemi!
If someone offered you a free 1969 Roadrunner would you want the 4 speed or the 727?
@@thegoldensaber4531 That's easy, I would take the 4 speed all day long.
what a gorgeous car
Absolutely incredible car. It was a bargain too!
Wow, this brings back Memories. I had pretty much the same Car. Mine was painted Hemi Orange, had a Black Vinyl Roof. She was a 69 383 4 gear with 410 gears, Edelbrock Torker Intake, Hooker headers, Weber Street/Strip Clutch, Holley Elec. Fuel Pump and Track Bars. Also switched the worn out Factory Shifter with a Mr. Gasket one that I shortened 4 inches. Best time in the 1/4 mile was at Dragway Park Cayuga, Ont. where she clocked a 14 flat e/t. at 99 mph. Not bad for a 383. I preferred the 69 383s cause they had the 440 heads and had more Torque! I had a Ball with that Car.
Absolutely stunningly BEAUTIFUL Machine!!!!👍. I sure miss those days and those fabulous Mopar's.
It doesn't get much better than this one. Thanks for checking it out!
I hade a 1968 383 auto, a badass hopped up 1969 383 auto and a 1970 383 4 speed. Loved those cars and wish I had just one of them now.
I was eleven when this car came out, and I was captivated by it. It was the perfect combination of a beautiful and powerful car with my favorite cartoon character. It was like magic to me.
In 1973 my dad bought may sister one like this except in orange. It too had the 383, 4bbl, 4 speed. She decided she didn't want and old car so she sold it and bought herself a 1973 VEGA!.....Women!
+Michael Evans Man, she really didn't understand what she had.
+brobicho Free country.
Yeah, leave it to a woman. They are why I lost all of my beautiful old Mopars damn them.

In 1968 my brother was in the Army and just finishing up a 13-month stint in Korea. He ordered ahead a new '69 Road Runner to have waiting for him when he returned to the states in November for his 30 day leave, before reporting to Ft Sill Oklahoma. It was the base 383 4-speed, gun metal gray with a black vinyl top. I was 16 at that time and had just gotten my license. This was the car that I learned how to drive a standard transmission. Easy car to learn the clutch on....never had to worry and about stalling while you were still learning the coordination of easing the clutch out when starting from a dead stop! To this day my brother and I still reminisce about that car. My senior year in high school my dad bought me a new Duster with 318 3-speed. A few years later I built a tricked up 340 and put in it along with a 4-speed and 3.55 posi third member. My brother no longer had the Road Runner so we were never able to run them off but he and I both agreed it would have eaten up the Road Runner. I'm 68 years old now and always been and always will be a Mopar fan. This is why I love Nick's Garage on TH-cam.
Somebody find me a time machine, I wanna go back!
Yeap !!
Those wheels are just perfect! This and the Belvedere GTX were the best looking muscle cars, IMO.
The 69 dodge coronet is nice too 😮.
@@geoffreydy9739 Yep..we had one and my Dad went with the 2 barrel version for what he said was because of "fuel economy"..the 2 barrel 383 was still rated at 330 hp and gobs of torque at fairly low rpm's. he knew to get rid of it before I got to legal driving age !
That 383 runs strong and sounds great too. It's also one of the cleanest cars that I've seen in a while. It really is better than new. Thanks for checking it out!
They have a few more that are beautiful
My buddy had that exact car . Same color also . Tubbed rear end and 426 max wedge intake . Had a room full of trophy’s too !!!
Thanks for the memories. 👌👍🙏
When my Brother came back from Veit Nam 2nd tour. He tock me to a dealership, It was a Plymouth Dealership, A-men. But we went around to the back and there was a row if SUPPER BEES!!! 67- 68??
But they were all colors, He asked me, Witch one Brother? I said, the red one. He paid cash, his fighting money. And they said come back in 1 hr. We will clean it up.
A yr. later we were comming out of Va. And he hit the gas, the hole car was SHAKING LIKE A GIANT HAD IT IN HIS HAND!!!! I looked over at the odometer, and the needle was banging against the little red pun at the bottom. 160 + mph...... That car was FAST!! He never it beet,, as far as I know?? 383 magnum. Great MEMS!! For me though, I am SCARED of speed!!!!
GOD BLESS
That's a beautiful piece of machinery, brings back memories of my moms car and mine. Mom had a red with flat black 383 auto with console and front bucket seats and mine was a B5 blue 383 4 spd with front bench seat. That's when cars were built better and priced more reasonable than the cars of today.
1968 to 70 roadrunner, my dream car.
Talk about having a very pleasant flashback. I had one of these back in 1977 for about 2 1\2 months. Basically cuz it needed a major tune up, I sold it for $75 & a couple days later went to college out of state.
Two times from a dead stop I gave it everything it had & both times I found myself losing control hitting 2nd gear. I've been mentally kicking myself in the ass for selling that car ever since then.
The Roadrunner was the 2nd car I had as a kid with the 1st one being a 1968 Dodge Coronet SE. It too was sold real cheap but at least I have a bad excuse for it. Apple trees are more solid than the front corner on the driver's side. The headlights ended up on top of the tire.
Those 2 cars are\were my favorites by far.
Thanks for reminding me of the good ole days, even though I was a dumbass.
Sounds like a non-stock cam, the intake may be a high rise, with headers, of course. Probably a few more go-fast goodies. Very nice automobile! I envious!!
I owned one of these wonderful machines ... new ... in 1969. Brought it home ... next morning started it to the worst sound ever. Called dealer ... had me bring it back ... that afternoon, they called me, I picked it up ... and it turned out to be the most exciting, joyful ride ever. A valve for some reason had dropped the keepers ... they reassembled them, and it never coughed aafter that Like a buckboard, my dad said ... but what a thrill to stomp the accelerator. Had it to 110 then chickened out, It didn't have hood tiedowns ... and the hood was getting really nervous about then. Backed off. But, again, what a joy to own. Those WERE the days.
Absolutely stunning.
Thanks for sharing.
+Tyler Durden Glad you like it. Thanks for watching!
That's when cars were cars and men were men
...and music was music!
I’m offended by that comment lolol
No shit sherlock
Men were men and women were gals
i think cars still are cars and men still are men actually
Wow thats a beautiful Road Runner. Love the grumpy idle and the chirp between the first 3 gears. Real nice car!
This is one of the nicest that I've found. It's a great car all the way around. Thanks for watching!
Yeah, I wish we could still buy them for that now. Thanks for checking it out!
Thanks for posting this. I just LOVE the 383 'B' engines, had one in my '65 Coronet 500. Free-revving like a small-block and put out torque like a big-block, they made the big ol' MoPars one fun ride, for sure. The power steering in those cars was another matter entirely, however- it took every bit of your concentration as you couldn't feel where the front wheels were since they deliberately eliminated all of the feedback to the steering wheel in them.
I love late 60s mopars.
Bought a bright red 1969 Road Runner when I was 17 years old. Great in a quarter mile! Sold it and bought a 1971 440 Cuda. Sure wish I’d kept one of them. Love the sound they made. Joined the Air Force because I was about to be drafted and had to sell the Cuda. Loved both of them!
Yep, this one is particularly nice...runs great too. Thanks for checking it out!
If I'm not mistaken,the last Roadrunner Plymouth made was 1975 or 76.It was a Volare' with Roadrunner decals on it.A complete piece of junk the way went out.Think of the last Dodge Charger,it was nothing but a Dodge Omni with Dodge Charger decals and had a 4 cylinder engine.What a shame and a waste of metal and money making them.Really miss the good old days.
Man I love them old Roadrockers, I once had a '70 383 and sure wish I still had it today.
My hometown! Graduated St Charles H.S. in '70 & bought my '68 RR 383 a month after I graduated. Sold it in Sept of '71 when I got drafted.
I've owned several nice cars since, but that RR is still my fave.
I know, I know. s
Souldakeptit...
am I the only one who thinks Roadrunner and Barracuda should come back under the Dodge name and replace the Challenger/ Charger?
i second the motion, bring back the Road Runner !!!
I seen a old barracuda didn't work and was Rusty but I could imagine how fun it would be to see it working.
#WeWantRoadRunnerBack
Sweet car. I’m not sure how a proper way to bring it back
uppittyup just like the Challenger: classic-ish design, new V8 engine and a reasonable price would work
I agree. When I was 18 I didn't know better! I can proudly say I got my share of "Exhibition" tickets on (guess where?) -Van Nuys Bl!
By then they were driving AMC Matador, 401 engine & "Torque Command" (read 727 TF) I would love to see a video on that! The civilian version was AMC Javelin! (Handcuffed to the driver's door of 65Cutlass, in front of everyone! ) I don't remember why, in 1975! You could buy a 5-10 year old 60s car for $1000! Seems like yesterday! & I can't deal with the changes!
nothing like a mopar
this is one bad mo fo
no radio needed
my husband cliff lynch had a 69 roadrunner, when he was 21, he lived in acworth georgia, a place called bells ferry mobile home park, everyone in 1987 around acworth knew who was the fastest car around, it was cliff ,lynch, and his 69 roadrunner, cliff raced all comers, and beat them all, people came from everywhere to try to run with him, no luck, no ford, chevy, or pontiac could hang with the mopar..
Absouloutly!
Mo Par or No Car..☺🐦🎆
Here in So Cal when i was i hi school in 70s in 10th grade i had a 68 390 GT fastback Ford Torino w 428 Cobra Jet cam and springs which i totaled . My buddy had one of these 69 Orange 383 Roadrunner he took out 80 feet of chain link fence after "get'n on it" on a freeway on ramp and it was totaled . Lot's of bad ass cars were lost in the 70s
Great looking car, lots of detail in the body
I had a '69 Charger, sister to this car. 383 4Bbl, 4 speed Hurst, manual steering(many turns lock to lock), skinny tires....thanks for the memories!
When gas was .25 cents a gallon!
I bought a new '69 RR. Hi Test was 32.9/gallon back then. Regular leaded was 26.9
When I started smoking, cigarettes were .65 cents a pack and I was too young to drive but lived by three gas stations and I remember seeing the price of gas as low as .36.9 cents a gallon!
And 103 octane leaded.
And the minimum wage was $1.60
I remember paying .25 cents a gallon.
Cheapest that I seen it when I was growing up was .16 cents a gallon for regular.
The 383 Magnum also used the same camshaft/cylinder heads as the 440 Magnum and was more 'oversquare' (ratio of bore to stroke) than the 440, too. It revved nicely and was only about .4-.5 seconds slower in the 1/4-mile, all else being equal. And, like all Mopar engines, it offered the tinkerer/tuner ample opportunity to increase the power for a very modest amount of dough.
17 dislikes, probably tree hugging prius drivers that think you're killing the planet.
What they don't realize is that their factory put out more pollution making a new Prius than this beautiful Plymouth has put out since it was built! Matter-of-FACT, if this Road Runner had a half-million miles on it, it STILL wouldn't have made as much impact on the environment as that Prius did in it's manufacture.
Looks like it has 100,784 miles on it, (notice the uneven 7 at 4:01 in the video.) though that could mean 200K or even more multiples of 100K.
Dislikes are probably by the "fast and furious" babies. This car would stomp all over those.
Good reply!
I was going to bitch about how slow he was stirring the gears but it seems he figured it out.
I got a Prius but always had hot cars...56 Chevy Bellaire 327ci Hurst 4 sp muncie trans ,4:11 rear ...1970 jaguar e type 2+2 4.2 liter retro 4sp so all Prius drivers aren't wimps
My very first car was a 1969 Road Runner. 383 with a 3 speed automatic transmission, no AC but I didn’t care much. I was only 17 years old and in high school. It was gold with a tan vinyl top. Love that car. BEEP BEEP.
Yeah, it's gets down the road pretty well. Thanks for watching!
A friend of mine from high school bought one of these for $1200 in 1982. His had a 440 and was blue with white leather interior. That was a beautiful and very powerful Road Runner!
In 1969 the yellow and black roadrunner was just absoutely beautiful. I was 19 but just could not afford to get one. They were about $3,500.
same here so I waited till the 80's when you could get one of these for a thousand bought a 69 coronet 500 and a 70 cuda for 3k on the test drive for the coronet we buried the speedo at 120 and she still had more, loved those cars
@@magneticpulseengine3605i’m so jealous of older people for stuff like this
Bet you wish u could have bought two !!!!
Absolutely stunning and gorgeous. What a beautiful classic. AUTOMOTIVE ARTISTRY !
MOPAR OR NO CAR !!
It really is an all around great car. Truly one of the nicest I've seen. Thanks for watching!
I had one looked exactly just like that, except it had a 1/2 black vinyl top. And it had 440 heads, 440 cam, loped like you would not believe. Never beat in a quarter. It had air-shocks in back, set up 3 feet, front set about 6" off the ground. Monster wide tires in back, small narrow in front. I loved it. Negative - it had power steering, took all your power to steer it. :)
Beautiful car. Bought one brand new in 69 except it was a convertible. The price thsn was $3,100.
Wow, that's really nice. Still with factory parts and interior. What a gem!
Under the Plymouth badge were the RR, GTX, Cuda and the Satellite. If Plymouth was still an active player they coud make retro cars as well. Just saying this as an old guy whom has had in my past a fair share of old muscle cars. Nice RR in the video.
Since I was a kid, my dad bought new Buick Riviera GS every 2/3years. I learned how to drive in them with all the available seat,steering adjustments. But, 1 of my cuz returned from Vietnam & had 1 exactly like this 1. It was blue, though. I learned to drive manual transmission in this pup. The only thing I fear was waiting for a green light on a hilly road. To avoid rolling back & avoiding the car behind, I would rev it in 1st & chirp the tires. I loved it.
Roadrunners will always be in my blood...:)
👍
That makes me want to learn more about classic cars like the Plymouth roadrunner so much. And one day, i will get one and see what it feels like in my point of view, period.
The car is so BADASS
My ‘69 had black interior, black vinyl top. I’ll never forget that exhaust rumble.
I had one just like it I loved it it looks better with Keystone Classics on it like mine had Offenhauser high-rise
What a wonderful motor car. I'm 76 now, my first new car was the 69 RR. Nothing that came after it could come anywhere near the perfect sleek design of the 69. "I still wish i had it today"
Thanks for checking it out!
I'm having a panic attack; lol This is a car I NEVER SHOULD HAVE SOLD, me an my brother B&B'd it I had a Weiand tunnel ram and 2 Holly 650 double pumpers, and everything you could imagine to increase speed, even cut out every other impeller in the water pump, it had so much torque I had to have a mechanic weld me a special heavy duty alternator bracket because it bent the original like it was licorice; lol
I was beaten by 3 cars as long as I owned it, it ran low 11's, god I miss it, beep beep
Brings back the memories. I had a '68..383 4 barrel 4 on the floor. I miss it so much 😥
FREAKING BAAAAAAAADDDD ASSSSSSSSS!
The exhaust is a very sweet perfume, unmatched by any big chain department stores. I love Road Runners.
Fuel turns into goosepumps ...
I'm fixing to install a 383 in my 74 Dart Sport. That 383 69 Road Runner is one Bad to the Bone mean machine. Awesome!
Can’t beat the sound of those pipes. 🥴
I had a 69 Runner that I bought from my cousin in 1972. he was the original owner and it had 13,000 on it when I bought it. Blue with black stripes, 383, automatic, I really miss that one.And that road test brought back some nice memories. I had one good race with it and beat a 340 dart, not by much I blew him out of the hole but he almost got me at top end. Those 340s could wind.
I bought a brand new 69 Roadrunner exactly like this one. Everything is just like mine. The wheels are different but even the color, Red on White. I built my engine up too, withe a 426 wedge cam. I put the Ansen slotted aluminum wheels 0n mine right after I got out of the Navy. That was in 1975 and the car only had 10 thousand on it then. My Dad kept it for me in southern California during my four year stay in the service. Wish I had this one, is it for sale?
Lance, I still have dreams about my old Roadrunner! Got mine brand new in 1969, brand new, well, it was a demo, from Duval motors in Jacksonville, Florida.
I once loaned it to a friend of mine who raced stock cars. He came back maybe 20-25 minutes later giggling about how he had just outrun a state trooper. After that, I got stopped all the time by FHP, thanks to him!
Have a buddy that had a 69 Bee 383 automatic back in the day. We had a lot of fun in that car.
That is one of the best looking car that I have ever seen! My first car was a 70 chevelle and I can say that those were the days and the cars back then were amazing !
Everyone was making amazing cars back in '69 and '70. Thanks for taking a look, we appreciate it!
My dad's '69 Satellite didn't look that good in 1970.
No Chrysler product had an OEM paint job like that in 1969/70. Beautiful car.
One of the most beautiful sounds and car you’ll ever hear and see
nice lines, 383 is plenty of motor
OMG! My best friends dad had one of these! One of the purple ones. He would take us all over the place in it. He must have known how much we enjoyed it. And he'd jump on it to! Those were the days man, treasured memories. Thank you for the memories Mr. Larry Albright RIP.
Beautiful!
duradim1 Thanks for taking a look!
Mine was a '68 383 same color with Cragars... ohh the memories, Drag races, License suspension,Girl friends, Drive Inn Movies, HS Dance's, out door keg parties and many more....it was a great era
Nice back when cars had personality and weren't egg shells on wheels like today!..
Exactly mate.
Amazing. Those muscle cars were common when u was a kid in the 60/70s. What a treat
my dream car right here !
It's so refreshing to see a 383 car. That's my favorite engine.
Remember when cars were real.
Like men and women
Beautiful. I had a 70. Now I have an all original 66 Charger 383 with the torqueflight. Original paint and interior with a few goodies under the hood and of course bucket seats and console in the back.
This clutch must be very manly xD
Thanks for checking it out! It really is a great car.
My Dream Car...
Mine too, my dad had one and I am trying to find it now.
