The only problem with this Road Runner is that it's not sitting in my driveway......love it!

1:58 Nick: "I'm gonna take it easy, take it for a drive." Proceeds to smoke up the neighborhood. Love it!

I graduated from high school in June, 1962, just short of my 18th birthday. I was there on a daily basis for the whole muscle car era, beginning to end. I watch videos like this, and its like these cars are at the local Steak 'n Shake or Wild's Palace of Poison on a Friday or Saturday night. My old 1956 Chrysler Windsor 4dr ht that my dad bought for me knew the path over to Alton Dragway by heart, and its where I spent my Sundays (or Friday nights during the heat of the summer). One of my buddies who was a year ahead of me in school bought a new1963 1/2 Ford fastback with dual quad 427 that we would drive around with. I personally ran into a deal in 1967 of taking over payments on a 1966 Ford Fairlane 2drht with the factory 427 package, 4-spd and fiberglass lift-off hood, and the payments were $106 per month. Insurance was another $75 per month. MoPar hemis were thick as weeds, Chevy 409s and then 427s, everybody was in the game. Nick, I thank you more than you would know for your work on preserving these cars. Your videos are the highlights of my week.

I've never been much of a MOPAR fan, but Nick and crew are certainly teaching this old GM guy a heck of a lot!

Luv it when Nick gives that 6 barrel a shakedown,wide open throttle the proper way.

I worked at a shop that had many mopar customers amongst our many other customers and accounts. I was on a test drive in a 70 blue 440 automatic roadrunner. I watched it turn 5000 original miles on the odometer. It was my dream job. Had it for almost 20 years. Blessed to have test driven every muscle car i saw and ised to dream about when i was little. Cause i got hired there.

Check transmission kick down linkage. Transmission is shifting too quick. Pretty car.

Cool !!!, Aussie here, Nick, you LEGEND !!, thanks for blessing our country with one of your masterpieces :):):), truly a magnificent example of your professionalism :)

That takes me back to 1978 when a friend and I restored a 1970 Roadrunner 383 Magnum hard top. A shotgun had gone off in the trunk when the previous owner had it so we had to do a quarter panel. The outer rockers were rusted out so we welded in all new metal. The engine was built by a local machinist/engine builder and dynoed at 436hp and 423lb/ft of torque. We took it on a shakedown through Montana (no speed limit back then). We painted it rootbeer brown. Good times!

Ha ha, “safety first!” as he backs out and burns rubber.

Rareness of a 70 roadrunner convertible with 440 6pack engine is so worth it.

I just love the this is really good Snicker by Nick!

Your door isn't shut Nick!! 🤪👍🏼😎

My first exposure to a Mopar was a 64 Barracuda, 283 4 speed then the friend that had that bought a 1969 convertible RoadRunner numbers matched 4 spd 383 air grabber too! Wow what a blast that car was and still is. Yes he restored it too, I was 15 then now I’m almost 65 and still have that love for anything Mopar.

Tuesday morning in Adelaide Australia. Best way to start my day Yasoo palikari

What a beautiful machine! Almost too nice for a public road full of distracted drivers. Excellent camera work too guys! Thanks

The attention to detail that Nick does. Out of this world. 👍

Perfect! What a lovely car. If only they made cars like that today.......

Beautiful 70 RR and all the add-ons or improvements were great additions for that car. The air-grabber is the best design for forced air that any manufacturer ever came out with ! PERFECT ! Not sure if a shift kit was installed (doesn’t really sound like it) but I loved a Trans-Go in my 727…

Theo's Road Runner is finally match fit Nick's got no problem getting the rear tyres lit The time has finally come for it's final shake down run but first Nick'll clunk n click like he does on every shakedown trip Theo is a lucky He's now got a stroked out 383 It's a car you can feel through it's brand new steering wheel It's even got an Air grabber to seal the deal It's got the Sure grip so Theo can let rip Properly done up by Nick and the boys It makes an unmistakable Mopar noise Sticking with it's original motor was an inspired choice For a muscle car fan it's a reason to rejoice Thanks Nick and George and to Theo a big thankyou for sharing too! It's been wonderful watching it being spruced up by Nick and the crew!

At 26:47 that's what we love!! Great job on that car Nick!!

That Last Burn Out was "SICK" that Road Runner has the perfect tire wheel combo/stance and color it's perfect 10 out 10 Nick Beautiful Job.

Just a splendid example of what Chrysler engineers worked so hard to attain. A rock solid car with nothing but beauty and muscle front to back. Outstanding Nick! Love the motor footage! The parking lights are perfect with that Vitamin C paint.🎉❤

That car is a piece of art

I love it when class is in session and Dr. Nick teaches. That's what first hooked me to his channel back in 2019. 😁👍

It's a beautiful car Nick, you and the gang did a fab job on it!! I sure hope it make the trip down under unscathed...

Dr Nick, Thank You for the stickers, you ROCK!!, cheers.

Great job! I had a 70 440 Six Pack Charger and a 68 R/T Coronet and those cars loved a 3.90 gear. I will miss the 70 Roadrunner. It’s been like an old friend for a long time.

I remember when it came in too!

That’s a great looking color combo on one of my favorite convertibles

Gorgeous 70 Road Runner.

I was 19 working for Georgia Power, making good money for 1970, went to the Plymouth place in Savannah and bought a 1970 RR. That thing was a ticket magnet.

I love this car. I’ve been waiting a long time to see it on the road, but it was worth it. Nick you guys knocked this one out of the park. Simply stunning

Air Grabber is the coolest thing ever!

Thats a fantastic car.......by the way, what happened to the "Black Diamond" Charger?

The car sounds good!

Awesome job on this classic beauty guys, well done! 🚗💨 🇨🇦🇦🇺🇺🇸🇬🇷

Work of art. Love how the 6 pac works and sounds.

In 1970, I was 13 years old. I remember this car well. Fond memories of the Muscle car era. Love the sound of this car. Theo will be overjoyed Thanks to Nick`s Garage.

Hi Nick, man that Roadrunner sure is one sweet ride everything one wants in one, does what its supposed to wow! Theo will be more than happy with this one and George that video was spot on man.

The green charger on the left looks awesome 👍🏻🇦🇺💯⛽️.

You did a superb job restoring this classic. Love the road runner decals and the power house engine - Just the engine sound tells me all I need to know about it's power. You are one bad ass mechanical genius. You just need more runway Bravo -

Awesome under hood video George!! Beautiful car! Nice job guys! Love it!

Another incredible masterpiece Nick. I loved watching the linkage operate and yes that sound is music to my ears. Thank for sharing that..

The 1970 Road Runner just might be my all-time favourite Mopar. Theo's convertible is a great example.

Nick you the man keep doing what your doing keep resurrecting those muscle cars back to life.

Nick has the best job in the world.

Juuust want to test that the carburetor(s) are working properly. This could take awhile..HeHe. Nick really doesn't want to let this one go.Thanks Theo for making this one happen. It's been a real treat. I'm glad Australians appreciate this piece of Americana.

Awesome job guys! What a team, what a car! Theo will be pleased I'm sure! :-)

Beautiful car! Thanks for taking us along for the test drive.

Giasou Nikola, Well done in achieving the impossible. The end result speaks volume of your workmanship & pride. Hopefully I get to see this RR if anything at Chrysler on The Murray 2024. By the way you are invited. Cheers Louis Kats your number 1 Fan in Australia ( Melbourne ). 🙂 👍 🇦🇺 🇨🇦

Beautiful and tough-looking at the same time, always loved this exact model and year just as much as the more popular 68/69 charger. The fresh cold AC will feel good in the hot Australian Sun!! Good job Nick and crew! ✌️

Love this car , the prettiest year for RR

The Top Goes Down, The Price Goes Up! Beep Beep

I love the old industrial neighborhood your shop is located in

Awesome car! Just love it... Nick is one cool dude... He's Kowalski!

As soon as you said " I'm gonna take it easy" I knew I'm in for a treat!!!❤

Absolutely beautiful. Fantastic job Nick. Just can't help thinking it would look so much better with 15 inch rims. Just my opinion.

I remember many of these brand new on my block and lusting after them and the GTX's

Here in Australia some mechanical garages have a trade plate that carries rego put it on a car and it's plated,rego and insurance, so if anything happens your regoed and insured, awesome car ,thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones

Beautiful car,but I would have kept the factory Rally wheels and beauty rings.

Aaaaahhhh, another fantastic Monday at Nick’s garage!!!! That Roadrunner is running sweet!!! Theo will really have to watch himself, lol!!!! Great job as always, Nick, and great week to you guys!!!

HELLO EVERYONE, Nick ,George, and Krew do beautiful detail work there . The attention to detail to every level is amazing. That cars brings back many memories, have a friend back in the 70s had a Red RoadRunner with the Air Grabber ,and pistol grip shifter . Me and him would cruise around in his car and switch over my ol GTO ...on the strip back in the day ....hope everyone is well . Take It Easy ... PS George, LOVE The Six-Pack Carb Cam !!!!!!!

A work of perfection!! The Ultimate Cruiser 👍😃Well done team. Convertible, AC and Stroker. That will quickly become the Pride of Australia.

What a great car, excellent job on repairing and upgrading. Nick cracked me up , when he was putting on seat belt. He said " safety first" and then headed out to do his famous test drive, we all know, that is wide open throttle on the back streets. Thanks for video, George you are bringing Nick into the modern techy age.

Sweet ride she will love the Aussie weather! I bet Theo is dying to get it over here in Oz. Congratulations

Nick, I was watching some of your vids from a couple years ago. You were teaching a young man how to install freeze plugs. You mentioned how difficult it was to put them in the back of the heads with the engine installed. Next time, get a large f-clamp, commonly used in woodworking. Place the shellac covered plug and the driving socket at the hole, the stationary jaw of the f-clamp behind that, place the jaw that has the screw clamp in it to the same spot on the front of the cylinder. Screw the handle tight enough to drive the freeze plug in. It will take a large and strong clamp to work. I welded a 1/2 square from a damaged ratchet to the dedicated clamp to hold the socket. This made it possible to do it without helping hands. Paid for itself with the first use. I was a Chevy dealership mechanic who drove a 1969 Formula S 340 4-Speed Barracuda to work. Chrome headers came shipped in the truck, or so I was told when I bought it in 1978. Thanks, 354Larry

Absolutely gorgeous car Nick. Beautiful work. I could never afford a car like that but she is amazing. Well done.

It's neat to see the smile on your face doing a burnout.

I love a car that pulls hard and sounds great. I love that it just goes in stead of spinning the tires off! Keep up the great work Nick & crew.

.........💥💥💥 {PLYMOUTH ROAD RUNNER} 💥💥💥💯% AMAZING 1970 Built at NICK'S GARAGE❣👍👍..... Thanks Nick my friend.... Old Navy Flying Shoe in a F-4 Phantom 2 ✈

Beautiful RR! Nick really ikes this car he just wanted to keep driving it!

Thanks for remembering the microphones.

My brother build a 72 Nova SS with a NASTY 427 and 5 speed standard. I asked him recently if he had top-ended the car - to find the top speed. His response was, "no, because the speedo only goes to 160 (kh/h, 100 mph). Besides, with a car like this it's not about how fast it goes but how VIOLENTLY you get there!" I think Nick subscribes to the same philosophy.

Awesome thanks always great to watch you both rebuilding and testing the engine's,on your Dino

Beautiful!! You guys do beautiful work ,hats off to all parties involved

This is the exhaust sound, I grew up with and love. I despise the sound of these cars today.

Great job guys. Very nice 👍 car. Someone is very lucky to have this beautiful car. An you are very lucky to have been the guy to build it. Thanks for sharing 😊. Very enjoyable video.

If I was the owner I would have had Nick put 4.10 gears in the rear , makes a night & day difference 😀

Well done Mr Nick! Very well done sir

Would be awesome if someone made a 8 speed auto transmission to fit in a 727 case , the 8 speed in my Ram truck rocks , it would do wonders for these older Mopars ...

Beautiful. The street in front of your shop is definitely too short for that Runner. Theo found a great car.

Outstanding! As long as that car has been in the shop, it is still hard to let it go! "I should have bought more fuel" LOL. Chrysler did a great job with their orange colors. Other companies, not so much, even today (Ford). What a gem. Kudos to everyone involved.

Hey - tighten up that transmission shift linkage. That thing upshifts right before it starts getting after it.

what is not to like about this Road Runner getting SPANKED, is it how this Mopar looks?, how it sounds?, or is it how Dr. Nick is having a good time?, cheers.

The roadrunner from the cartoons on the steering wheel is awesome.

Beautiful car, especially after you worked on it !😊

Dana "60" Glass. Love the camara shot under hood George. Just like the '69 A12 Roadrunner.

There’s no license plates……so we’re just gonna do a little burn out 😂 we think alike 👍

"Now, THAT's a Burn Out"!!!

Evenin Mr Nick! Have a Great week!!

It sounds really good I like it

I would have thought that car would be able to smoke the tires without power braking it

Awesome job❤ what a ride/colour/sound💪 epic’70 RR❤

Easy Nick, the Kowalski car is getting jealous!

So cool you stayed with the 383 Nick. It sounds so good with 6 barrel now!! George greatly filming man 😁👍👍 Theo going to be one happy owner when it arrives.

My 383 has a 6 pack on it. The sound is well worth the price of admission!

Nick, now that's a good looking and sounding car, thanks for lighting it up! Love the carb cam! Wow!!! that engine makes some serious torque!

That car is beautiful. She sounds amazing too. Nick, you are so fortunate that you are doing something that you love for a living. Thanks for the video.

Dream car going home to make noise and awesome memories. Thanks to Nick and crew. George put it on the web for everyone to see👍🏻
