It's not often you see a second generation Plymouth Roadrunner going down the quarter mile, but to see two racing each other is quite a treat for the eyes! What makes this more unique is that two friends Steve McDonald and Jim Leach both from New Lennox, Illinois are the owner of these two brightly colored mopars. Pick your favorite as Steve's is a '71 that was an original 383 4 speed car but now has a 498ci/440 engine that he bracket races but still drives on the street while Jim's is a '72 powered by a 440 magnum that he describes as a fun street car. #musclecar #mopar #roadrunners

I have a white 71 w/ a 383 and a 4-speed. Always thought the front end was the coolest design. Nice RR’s !👍🏼

Awesome pair of road runners.. I had the reverse of the same 2 cars back in early 80s. Mine was a orange 71 383 4 speed, And I gave my better half a Yellow 72 with the factory 400/727. Brought back good memories if mine. 👍👍👍

I had a similar 72 Road Runner and the hood mounted turn indicators were on the hood but a Satellite had fender mounted turn indicators.

I had a 1970 Roadrunner with a 383 and 4 Speed with a Hurst Pistol Grip. Loved that car. Of course I had to fix the second gear syncros a couple of times. Top speed 80 at 5000 RPM. You could see the gas gauge actually moving. 😢😂

My 1st Mopar was a Red and Rust 72 Satellite, 400hp/4spd. I've had 4 of that body style all total, and I don't think anything Looks Better, just Slick as grease. Nice Beepers 👍👍💯

I'll trade you that pedal assembly out of your yellow 71 for the one in my '72. It's an automatic that I'm converting to 4-speed and I could sure use that manual pedal assembly that you aren't using. Both cars are AMAZING!!!!

My first car was a '74 Roadrunner with a 318. Same hood as a 440 Magnum... Dudes would rev up next to me, I'd rev up with my 'thrush' mufflers, give 'em the thumbs-up, the light would change... They'd leave me in the dust, because I would never even accelerate!!! LMAO!!!!!

It was about 81 or 82 I think,It was originally a small block automatic car.The boy was near perfect and the only thing the interior needed was work around where the put the 4 speed in.

The red one is gorgeous, but the 1/4 mile times are not very consistent. The yellow one is clearly set up for the drag strip, and not as clean as the red one. The two quarter mile runs shown are nearly identical, however.

First time out for the red one and yeah the yellow one is set up to drag race.

@stevemcdonald2722 Жыл бұрын

If you’re referring to the yellow one I drove and bracket raced it for several years with the original 3 spd manual then a 4 spd but it was killing parts! I did very well racing it 3 rearends 2 driveshafts and the windshield started to separate I decided to go with the automatic! Saving a numbers matching car I’ve owned for over 30 years!
