When I got back from Vietnam in Dec 68 bought 1968 Road Runner with a hemi it was a bad ass car for less than 3k. No Chevy ever passed it

You didn't get a hemi road runner for under 3grand. You got a 2door post car with a383vand a 3speed don't lie to the folks. I'm of that age and I owned them.

I love the plymouth road runner . Im 69 now , but when i was 17 i bought a 1968 road runner 383 4spd. canary yellow ,( not my favorite color ) . man that car was fast . I am seriously considering getting another one .

I'm 76 now , but when I was 21, I bought a 1969 road runner 383 4spd. Yes it was a fast car, fast enough for any young kid on the block. If I ever thought it would have turned out to be the classic it is today, I think I might have treated it to a whole lot more respect than I did back in the day.

The Beep-Beep horn was a detuned Volkswagen horn! The interior was from the Taxi cab. In 1970, under 25, stationed Ft Monmouth NJ, insurance was impossible to purchase for a RoadRunner. Even as an E5 most of my salary would have gone to pay the insurance, if any company would even sell me insurance! 1969 Satellite, 383ci, 335hp, 4 speed, posi-tract, carpet, bucket seats AND roll down rear windows.... It only weighted 300lbs more than the RR. Insurance, Two dr. hardtop, std. transmission and military discount, less than my wife's VW bug! Thank You Hot Rod magazine!

Road Runners base model was base but they had several different deluxe interiors to chose from...Most Road Runners were not the Taxi Cab interior versions.. You could get a loaded Road Runner,a/c,rocker trim bunch of chrome/stainless trim and 2 tone interior that the price was as much as a base GTX! You could get a bench or a slpit bench and 2 bucket seats and a buddy seat or those 2 same buckets with a console and floor shift automatic..

Great memories from high school times here. The Ford Torino GT boys would cry like babies when they got smoked by one of these true factory hot rods.

I own a '69 Convertible RoadRunner. I grew up with it ( I'm 50 now) and it was my late Uncle's and I inherited it. Will never sell it.

@dr.kennethj.sacchetti2765 14 күн бұрын

I am sure that you know that you have a very rare model in the convertible, and an even rarer model with the 4-speed manual transmission. I wish you many more years of good health driving your prized possession well into your nineties!

When I got home from Vietnam in April of 1968, I bought a ‘68 Roadrunner post car with 383/4 speed and one option: an 8 track tape player. This car was $2,900 plus tax. The Hemi Roadrunner was an additional $713.

Couple things wrong.. It was not based off the 1950's Plymouth!!! B bodies never came out until 1962..B body was the cars platform.. Dodge Super Bee came out in 1968 same as the 1968 Road Runner and the name Super B was a play off the cars platform a B body that came out in 1962 and changed /upgraded by 1968.. They shared the same name as the 50's car but it was not a 1950's Belvedere..totally different chassis/platform/everything! True base model Road Runners were stripped out versions but the majority had deluxe trim and chrome/stainless trim..Bench seat..Split Bench seat,bucket seats with buddy seat and same bucket seats with a console.. Its actually hard to find a plain Road Runner they made a very small percentage of base model cars,most had carpet,deluxe interiors and more options.. 1971 Super Bee was changed to the Charger body as the Coronet that was the Super Bee's body just went 4 door and wagon no 2 doors. The 1976 version is a F-Body again different from the B body 9but similar)and 100% different the 50's cars...The 1976 Dodge Aspen and Plymouth Volare the Road Runner was a trim package on the Volare..The 318 and 360 could have loads more power by removing the lean burn computer,adding a vacuum advance distributor and Mopar orange box ecu and swap the carb,you gained 50 hp! The lean burn and smog carb just slowed them down tenfold..remove the cats restrictive exhaust manifolds,either pre smog manifolds or headers..I had a Volare Road Runner with the E-58 360 and gained 2 seconds in the 1/4 mile by doing just that..I do have a 69 Super Bee 383 today and a few more! I have a 68 Road Runner needing restoration that we will start next summer once the projects we have now are done!

I have a ‘70 Satellite convertible cloned up to look like a Road Runner. I also have the Coronet fenders and hood, hood extension, nose cone, and tail with wing washers and trunk supports. A few more bits and pieces, and I hope to field a one-of-none “convertible Superbird”.

Thanks: great Car stuff! Interestingly, I ordered a early FALL 1968 RR(?)Green Ext/ *Black Deluxe int (* the no CARPET,TAXI Cab style was to austere even, for Me !!)/* Fan Declutch(?) , Power Steer/ Brakes ( oddly, if Memory), rest Basic : anyways, reneged good dollars , Deal & losing my $200 Deposit…Though, some Friends & I checked the Special Order out, appeared to be a fairly good ROAD RUNNER PRODUCTION; dealer selling immediately…There was a lot of hype &advertising around Purdue Campus & Lafayette, INDIANA for the “ ROAD RUNNER CHEAP PERFORMANCES “…….

Ps:: oddly, do NOT* remember having *HURST SHIFTER , for the STANDARD 4SPD: the other brand?? I heard some ROad RUNNERS were non- Hurst . And, Rethinking, it may have beeN A $ 250 DEPOSIT, I LOST…..BY RENEGING….

I’ve heard that crap about the Superbird many times it was virtually impossible to convert a SB back to a regular RR. The SB had 70m Coronet front fenders and would not have been feasible to do so. Very bogus crap. Yep I’ve forgotten more about MOPARs than you will ever know.

Thanks, yes ..l interestingly, I seen SUPERBIRD in downtown Lafayette Indiana Spring 1970…. Way to long for parking, & Kitschy Looking. THOUGH had **test driven a new DART GS (??a pursuit Build, tires/ Shocks/ Disc Brakes,Etc upgraded , but Dodge Green)….. Dart was Incredible fast & tight Handling. interestingly, I bought a new 1970:Coronet 500/ loaded 383/Duals Exh/ Snorkel, was a March 1970:BUILD, keeping for 16 years ( rusted out BAD,n Indiana )….
