Ok, another first!!! When do you see a truly FULLY LOADED Plymouth Roadrunner??? Roadrunners by definition were the stripped down model of the Satellite lineup. The original owner special ordered this car with every single option on a base model platform. Super kewl! You never see this configuration on Roadrunner.

These cars bring back memory's. I started working in a Chrysler Plymouth dealership in 1969. So I worked on these when they were new. The 440 six pack cars were fun to drive but hard on rear tires. I remember a 1970 Cuda' with a 440 six pack that had to have the rear tires replaced before it was sold! I almost bought a 1970 440 six pack GTX but my Dad put the kibosh on that because I was 18 and the insurance was more than the car payment. I ended up with a new Plymouth Duster powered by a 225 slant six!

Thanks, again, Lou! Cool car! It sounded pretty good, but it might have sounded better if it had newer gas in it. Orange with a black hood is a cool color scheme, though I don't think I'd like the "removable" hood feature.

american brands will have to go back to their basic if they want to survive... cheaper , bigger, simpler, old fashion low cost. with direct injection engine like that today would rake in 30 mpg... at 7500$ they'd sell like hotcakes everyone and his cousin would own one. the problem is they dont care as they get subsidy from govt, a modern car cost a little bit under 4000$ to make in modern plants, and you guessed it they get a govt subside of 4000$ for every car they build...so the car you see for sale in lots with extravagant prices are already paid for by you. thats why they dont care about sales number anymore or competition among themselves: cars are already paid for and if you consider all the raw material subsidies , employement subsidies, energy subsidies, taxes subsidies. they make money without selling a single car. that will kill the car industry, the day they really have to fare for themselves like in the days you will see great big cars for sale under 10K brand new, you can believe it. from time to time the govt pass an order for police cars and various trucks... this now count as a huge slice of their profits, again all away from the regular consumer(+military)
