U hope to add a 69 runner to me and my fathers mopar collection (73 340 duster,70 383 runner air grabber hood and 69 440 gtx)

[DIMEBAGJIMMY426]

Just found one of these forsale 69 383 4speed car same color minus the vinyl roof, I love that I can always find a video of these cars I find on here. Oh @ sixter01 your a douche for not fixing your car, glad you decided to wait till 72 to buy a mopar after all the good ones were sold to good owners

[CaptKrev]

Truly a Mighty Beast!!

[Sixter01]

Plymouth's did not have MAGNUM MOTORS. MAGNUMS only came in Dodges at a additional charge. You have a very nice Road Runner. The GTX came standard with the 440 SUPER COMMANDO. In 69 you could get the optional 440 SIX PACK in the Road Runner. I ordered a 1973 440 MAGNUM Charger in late 72. Owned it for 15 years. Was caught out in a Hail storm and the car was destroyed beyond repair.

@Sixter01 @Sixter01 Dude, I'm VERY well aware of what DODGE & PLYMOUTH callled their engines. MAGNUM rolls off the the tongue better than SUPER COMMANDO & always has been how we refer to Mopar HiPo engines. Just like most people say Plum Crazy instead of In Violet and Panther Pink instead of Moulin Rouge, etb, Oh, and just for the record, PLYMOUTH called their tri-carb 340 & 440' SIX BRARRELS. not SIX PACKS. Thanks for checking out the video but we're aware of what's what in the Mopar world.

[OneBadSuperbird]

@Sixter01 A hailstorm damaged your car beyond repair? Are you kidding me? Sounds to me like you didn;'t know anyone competent enough to make the repairs. Oh well, whatever...

Outrageous sound! Just awesome.

I had a couple of '69 Roadrunners back in "the day". They were beasts! One had the 4 speed with Hurst Shifter and the other was the good old Torqueflite. The Auto was faster but the 4 speed was more fun! Wife and Kids replaced the Roadrunners in the early '80s but what sweet Mopar Memories...

[426brandon]

such a cool car! and a wierd color combo with the interior!

[Cricchio427]

MOPAR RULES.

[eddierools]

Hehe, you got that right, my dad an his brothers have one of these too, same motor, but it's painted yellow with black rally stripes.

The fender mounted turn signals did not come on a RRer. Satellites had them; not sure about GTXs. Remember, the RRer was an inexpensive racer. It did not have dressup features. It was not uncommon to find someone added them to add pizzazz.

Another example is the tail lamps: flush mount. The GTX, which was a more expensive car, had recessed tail lamp assemblies.

Nonetheless, I love to see old Mopar iron.

[OneBadSuperbird]

Well, I hate to be the one to burst your bubble but the A01 Light Package WAS available on Road Runners (and GTX's) and this particular Road Runner was indeed coded (on the fender tag and build sheet) for the light package. MOST Road Runners were fairly basic but not ALL Road Runners. My old red '69 GTX (shown in another video) was also coded for and equipped with the A01 Light Package. Time to do some more homework on your Mopar trivia!

[CaptKrev]

@robkal56 Yes,I had the turn signals on my 69 rr.It was a special order package with GTX interior.

[robkal56]

@CaptKrev Thanks for clarifying. My 69RR (later in the 70s) did not have them. The conversations back then (young punk kids that we were) I recall was a RR was supposed to be cheap and fast. I did add the deep Gettux tail lamps and they looked good!

[NoLongerFooled]

How come there is no hood scoop? I thought they came stock with a fiberglass hood and scoop?

[OneBadSuperbird]

Only the 1969 1/2 440 Six Barrel Road Runners came with the scooped fiberglass lift-off hood. All 383 and Hemi Road Runners came with the hood shown on this car or the identical hood with the air inlets opened up and underhood ducking to feed fresh air to the engine. That was the "Air Grabber" hood and was coded N96. The "Air Grabber" inlets could be opened and closed via a cable push/pull switch inside the car.

[NoLongerFooled]

Ah, I see. Thanks for the information. Do you ever wish that you had the fiberglass hood? Or do you like steel better?

[OneBadSuperbird]

Well, I sold the car over 20 years ago so I guess it doesn't much matter! I like all Mopars so it really wouldn't have mattered to me one way or the other.

[thiswasatest]

Has this car contacted Weight Watchers for a consultation?

[OneBadSuperbird]

Huh??? The '68-'70 Dodge and Plymouth B-Bodies were comparably sized with other mid-sized cars from G.M. and Ford of that era. I could see if you were talking about Chrysler's C-Body line of full-sized cars but these cars weighed around 3,700-3,900 pounds depending on options. That's hardly an overweight car when you consider that the last generation Camaros and Firebirds weighed 3,300-3,500 pounds.

[ferretsareawesome121]

nice car

[queenoftheprom]

not 383 magnum, plymouth called it 383 SUPER COMMANDO

[OneBadSuperbird]

Hey thanks but I am well aware of that. The 440 SUPER COMMANDO air cleaner pie tin off of my 1970 Superbird hangs on my garage wall. In case you didn't know, it is much more common to refer to the Plymouth SUPER COMMANDO's as MAGNUMS and I will continue to refer to them as MAGNUMS. Thanks for checking out the video but try to enjoy the videos rather than get all anal about details.

[OneBadSuperbird]

Just to further illustrate my point, it would be "incorrect" to refer to a factory purple '70 Cuda as being Plum Crazy whereas it would be "correct" to refer to a factory purple '70 Challenger as being Plum Crazy. But then who calls a factory purple '70 Cuda "In Violet"? Same thing with Panther Pink and Moulin Rouge. Who calls a factory pink Cuda "Moulin Rouge"? Catch my drift? This ain't my first rodeo in the Mopar world. I've been around the Mopar block more than a few times.

[acalthu]

The guy mentions it's a 383 magnum, not 440 as the description says.

[OneBadSuperbird]

The car originally came from the factory with a 383 Magnum. Somewhere along the line between 1969 and the time I bought the car in 1988 or so, someone dropped a 440 in the car.

[peelerboy]

Sweet Runner! Awesome videography and especially liked the commentating! ;)

[69moparman]
