Fantastic car. What a treat to see older cars kept in superb condition. :-)

I remember the stories my daddy told me about his road runner. He said he raced that car slot on Friday and Saturday nights. He said he would whoop any car that raced him, untel..... a guy in a 68 chevelle came up to challenge him. He accepted, they raced and he got beat. Lol! But that's my story about a Plymouth Road Runner. I miss my daddy telling me those stories about his high school years in the 70s. RIP Daddy I miss you more everyday. 😔

A Mellennial into classic muscle cars! Who woulda' thunk? We may have a future after all.

that kid gives me hope for the future of car culture

You ever meet someone that literally "looks" like the car they're driving? Like a melding of man and machine? This is not one of those times.

My very first car was a 1968 Road Runner! I was 16 at the time (61 now) and bought it for $150. It had the 383 with 4sp transmission. However the car itself had the optional Hemi suspension and heavy duty brakes. The previous owner beat it to near death though. lol! I had an accident (someone pulled out in front of me) and the insurance totaled it. But I was able to "buy" it back from them. It lived on for quite a while, but there was another accident and it ended up getting scrapped. I still have the original 4sp transmission, and the original cast iron bell housing "out in the shed". I also still have the original "beep beep" horn that I still use today in my daily driver. Thank you Scotty! This video brought back some fond memories. ;-)

”MEEP MEEP!” - The Road Runner

In 1969 I worked at a little Chysler Plymouth Dealership in Missouri. One morning the owner said it was time to bring in the 1970's to the showroom from the sales manager's barn where they were stored out of public sight. I got to drive the Road Runner. Orange with black stripe, black interior. Hurst Shifter with 4 on the floor. 383 ci. Wide tires all around. I was 22 years old and was in heaven. What a beast. Sounded like a wild animal.

I remember, my twin uncles who are now 86, one had a 1970 Roadrunner that was Gold with black strips and he’d come show it off. The other had a barracuda. I love those old cars

I had a 71 with the 383 H.P. nothing but Fun, that thing would burn rubber all day, even the neighbors enjoyed hearing it light up the pavement, they told me so  !  Love Mopar  !

Maybe another answer to your question, "Why are we not still talking about this car" is that there is a scarcity of intelligent people with excellent communicative skills who have taken the time to become knowledgeable about them. This was a really well-done video! Thanks for taking the time to create and share it. Enjoy your Roadrunner! --- Rick

Im 20 and i remeber the day i told my dad i would never work on a car " they are too complicated" i said. Then i learned about the cost of labor now i work on all my vehicles and encourage others to do the same. With such a vast wealth of knowledge so easily accessible there really is no excuses

REV UP YOUR OLD PLYMOUTHS!!! MEEP MEEP! I love old Chrysler Corporation products! Scotty, you have yourself a FANTASTIC Sunday, as for everyone else!

Graham is absolutely right, the Roadrunner is an under-appreciated muscle car. Definitely worthy of keeping or restoring to good working order. They were fun cars to drive, especially if you had the 4 on the floor.

“Original values of affordability, V8s and simplicity”😂 you know your doing something right when one of your core values is a V8

“You gotta really plan ahead where you’re gonna stop.” Ha! Nice vid.

Love this car man!

Wow! Really nice to know there are millennials out there that appreciate these true classic rides from the era of the original muscle cars. I'd always thought that the millennials were only about the here and now. Thankful for guys like this who appreciate the kind of machines the Plymouth Roadrunners are!

This car and the Duster were my favorite Plymouths in the the early '70's.
