This episode finds us back at Fusion Motor Company (Fusion Motors) shooting the true definition of a "restomod." This is a fully restored 1969 Plymouth Road Runner with some modifications that make it an incredibly fun driver. Tubular A arms, big disc brakes, 707 hp Hellcat power plant, 6 speed Tremec transmission and a few other things. It looks almost factory but is so much better than what it was in 1969 so sit back and enjoy the ride...

Rallye Green for Plymouth and Chrysler) was only available for a limited production run in the spring of 1969. The seasonal availability of the color not only made it incredibly rare, but also earned it the nickname “Spring Green”. Even at the most prestigious of auto events, you’ll be lucky to find an original, real-deal “Spring Green” car.

Street raced a 68 Roadrunner with a 383 and a four speed in the mid 70's. Put a Hurst shifter and a Hurst T handle on that car and then you will really be impressed! It weighed about 3/4 of a pound so it gave mass inertia and going from second to third, well, like punching someone in the face with heavy brass knuckles.

EF6 Bright Green/Rallye Green, In the spring of 1969, both Dodge and Plymouth debuted one of the first and arguably one of the rarest High Impact options. Only available on a limited production run, Dodge named it Bright Green, while at Plymouth, it was called Rallye Green. No matter which name it goes by, EF6 is a rare and desirable color.

I owned a 69 Road Runner 383 4spd, and I miss it when I see another one. 69 is my favorite yr. I do not like vinyl tops but when you put a HEMI in one I could fall for most of them. I love the whine and giddyup Thanks Shawn you made my day. I hope the clutch pedal is softer than my old 69, mine was like a very heavy spring and made a sound of its own. I let some folks drive it and would giggle if we had to set at a stop light too long lol. You could see their leg shaking anticipating the release. Fond memories.

When I had my 69 RoadRunner back in the day when you would see 5 or 10 of them on the streets every day I was running Cragars at all 4 corners, then later around the mid 80s I took the Cragars off and put the black steel rims on it with the dog dish hubcaps like this but said Plymouth on them.

Cruise Control was available from the factory in 1969, my 383 automatic Sport Satellite had it. The option code was N88 if I remember correctly. It stands out in my brain because it was an uncommon option, especially in a Plymouth. That said, given the choice between an original, numbers matching Road Runner and this car, I'd go for the original. But then, a Pistol Grip in a '69 sticks out like a sore thumb to me since it wasn't available until the '70 model year.

Make a wire mesh to cover the opening of the openings (I would also remove the passenger side interior headlight) and paint the mesh a silver white to blend in more with the headlights. BTW, I LOVE the white interior. My first car back in the 70’s was a 1970 Mach 1 with deluxe white interior.

Every week I wait for this program, Shaun; I never know what you'll have on it but I know that it will be cool. Love everything about this Roadrunner and am presently asking myself why in hell I ever sold mine. Little things make the car.....subtle, like the pipes running clear of the back bumper. Hey, if you're getting rid of exhaust fumes; get rid of 'em! The dog dish hubcaps, white striping, white vinyl top all coordinate to make this car stand out in a way that is different and one of a kind. Keep the Faith, Buddy. Tom P.S. More Mopar, if you please.

Love this. Had a green 1969 Road Runner in the 1990s and I’ll never forget how that thing jumped from a rolling start and the growl of its 383. Hope the next owner restored it and took it to car shows like he planned. Hawaii car with no heater from the factory if I remember right. Hope he got his $1500 worth. 😂.
