1970 Plymouth Rapid Transit System (commercial)

[5inthehole]

Who wouldn't be more than proud to own one of those beasts? Short viewed suits killed Plymouth line....what a shame. The only real problems these old Plymouth's were known for was the back axel seizing up ( besides the starters of all Mopar's). They were great entry level cars for the "regular" person....and those butt-holes killed it.

[trafficit]

Fuck, I Just had a Cargasm.

[OxyFiend1982]

Omg I wish I lived back then I love mopars I have a 1970 Plymouth valiant duster

[silverbird58]

Plymouth could be back tonite IF they wanted. i'll take a plymouth neon with the new MYT motor under hood. the sales slogan should read "STOP SENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY OVERSEAS" /OUT OF THE COUNTRY.LET PLYMOUTH SHOW YOU HOW..

[silverbird58]

[kennyt1230]

I had a Plymouth Acclaim for 13 years and gave it to my parents with 360k on the Odometer. Not the hottest thing on the street but it got me everywhere.

RIP Plymouth--yep, would never buy a Benz

[jingq2]

umm may i have a AAR 'cuda please

[cuda540ify]

the best cars ever made.

[MattTheSaiyan]

Make cars similar to this but with modern-safety features and they'd sell like hotcakes!

[snoopydonvito]

If i could choose to have any car in the world 69 vitamin C orange roadrunner 440 liftoff hood 4 speed would be my one and only choice. screw todays crap, whos gona want any of the cars put out today in 30 years.

[65ludwig]

1970 Was the greatest year for mopar muscle. never was anything like it before or never will see it again. Thats it everbody keep saying the jap cars get better mileage , and see what happens to your job, all gone, keep buying jap cars and before you know it .thats all it will be.americans work in america.not Japville, so buy american cars. u think those boys in ww2 died for japaness cars.i dont think so

[JETZcorp]

I totally agree that 1970 was a great year for Mopar.

However, the Buy American thing is a little shaky. For example, while Fords are built in China (ever wonder why they didn't go bankrupt?), Toyotas are built in America to a greater extent than any other automaker. I'm not saying that everyone should go buying Toyota, but it's a point you might want to ponder. Personally, I don't care where a car is built, as long as I like the car.

That means Japan is out, Mopar and Porsche are in.

[bwild61]

Bingo! And guess what, those Japanese vehicles are not all that great!!

[The6000Sabre]

Who destroyed the US auto industry?

Well it began with that eunuch Ralph Nader. Then the dipsshits is congress got into the act. Assholes such as Nancy Pelosi.

Then the unions got too damn lazy & greedy for their own good.

OPEC played a role.

Then management hired all these idiot MBA bean counters to overrule engineers and designers.

Then Americans bought into the Madison Avenue fagot ass Euro craze of the moment. Later the cheap ass Japanese craze.

And BINGO Detroit goes in the toilet.

[5inthehole]

Plymouth....Sad day when the Chrysler corperation decided to axe Plymouth from the line-up. Look at some of the great cars Plymouth once had in their line-up.

[gqjohnny]

The scum at Daimler killed the Plymouth. Chrysler management was planning to revitalize the Plymouth name with the Prowler and the PT Cruiser was going to be a Plymouth. But then came the "merger" and Chrysler got raped and discarded. Think of that when you see a Benz on the road. Never, ever buy a Benz.

[firehawk400]

@gqjohnny As an employee of a Chrysler Corp. dealer, I can't agree more.

[galacticempire19bby]

@gqjohnny Daimler made a poor move, true enough. They should have never gotten involved with such a crappy company as Chrysler. Chrysler has made many bad decisions in the last 30 years and the merger cost Daimler its diamond reputation. Mercedes-Benz are the safest and highest quality cars on the road. Think of that when you see a cost-cut Chrysler on the road. Never, ever buy a Chrysler.

[The6000Sabre]

I know! Plymouth was Chrysler Corp.'s entry level brand. You never eliminate your entry level products.

What if Ford Motor eliminated Fords and only kept Mercury & Lincoln? Would that be a smart business move? Or GM cutting Chevrolet?

The asshole Krauts at Daimler were responsible for fucking up Chrysler. When Iococo retired, CC was doing fine.

[CamaroAmx]

@The6000Sabre chrysler went from the most profitable car company to near bankrupt in 10 years. then 6 years later they nearly went under. thank you fiat for saving chrysler. don't f' it up like diamler and cerbrus.

[70fury3]

Not a Rapid Transit comercial .. Isnt this Just a plymouth comercial??? ...

[steadfastcoward]

@70fury3 The Plymouth sales theme for this model year WAS "The Rapid Transit System" and selling cars at the BEGINNING of the year was a novel notion as you didn't really need to before 1973, Plymouth had great sales and still based on a VALIANT (mind you the most radical one you could buy).

That car will top 120 mph and 0-60 at an oscene pace with a 340.

I'd call that RAPID!

[70fury3]

@steadfastcoward Cool well I'll see what a 360 stroked to a 408 will do soon in my 70 fury, Speed O Motive will be done soon...Should be a real fun car

[70Kenny]

I want to marry the sport Fury!

[EdWatts]

Yeah! A long time ago, I had a 1969 Sport Fury -- get this -- station wagon. The original engine was a 318 LA, but I swapped in a '69 440 -- "built to the hilt" as we used to say -- and put L60's on the front and N50's in the back. My kids absolutely loved riding around in that barge; it seemed like there was room to play soccer where the third seat folded down.

Woodgrain sides, hood like the deck of an aircraft carrier, air conditioning, built Torqueflite, rims and tires...Oh, YEAH!

[lirr408]

I love these old Plymouths .They were solid cars. Actually all of these cars from the 1960s and 1970s were the best. I wish they were built today.

[HEMI440jsp]

Mopar Rules!!!!

[ThunderAppeal]

They had a Sport Fury?

[chuck2014]

I had a 1970 Duster. Shocking Green Color, with a 3speed on the floor, slant 6. I love that car.

[jettamangeorgeh50i]

I love these cartoon cars!! They were great! Mopar had the best car commercials during the 60s...

[harley145000]

meatman,try about 500,000

[PanzerAce88mm]

Mopar to Ya. Mopar or no car! Love em' all. 1970 Superbird gives me a hard on.

[DoomiteAsh]

I can dig it, baby! Mopar freakin' RULES!

[68chevelleSS396]

man, why can't they build cars like that anymore?

[MrFrankBullitt]

Cuda!

[josegomez101]

If this WERE a rapid transit system, I'll never be late!

[govanata]

negative PlymouthBassMaster I'll smoke you any day of the week in my 360 Duster. probably because it's around 1200 pounds lighter.

I aint hatin on roadrunner. Mopar or no car!

[meatman310]

If the general public only knew,..what these cars would be worth in less than 40yrs. In say 1989 someone sellin' a 70hemicuda or hemianything was askin around 25k for a complete decent restoration car. In 1989 that was a high price. NOW..AN ORIGINAL HEMIANYTHING GOES FOR AT THE LEAST 60-80K.

[lensattack13]

mopars rule..check out some of my home mopar vids !..rock on !

[L324RT12]

A 340 duster would smoke the shit out of many cars with twice the displacemnt, a stock 340 duster would eat a stock 383 road runner & shit it in a sack.

[PlymouthBassMasta]

sorry dude but the roadrunner would smoke that duster. maybe i say this just couse i own a 1969 Roadrunner.....or maybe just cuz its true

[jmarti64]

yup

[oldsmobileboy]

sorry but ur wrong, a 383 super commando road runner would woop the shit out of a stock 340 duster. my dad had one and he beat 340 darts and dusters

[silverbird58]

na, my 340 car lost to my 383 by a full front fender . then bill cosby,s twin supercharged

side oiler cobra wooped all our buts...

[joh2]

Hmmm, with Chrysler reviving the Dodge Challenger, perhaps one day they could revive the Plymouth brand again - A Barracuda twin would be cool - Although if they were to do a modern day Duster, they would likely base it on the Avenger Platform (which i'm surprised Chrysler hasn't released a coupe variant for)...

[mau7981]

yo estoy vendiendo un valiant duster 1976, veanlo aki en youtube, buscandolo por "mau7981"

[ZeeboLaywicker]

whoops "designed" smile

[ZeeboLaywicker]

You can thank your gov't and the insurance companies for taking all the fun out of cars. The old days are never coming back, tho with a little ingenuity, they have the technology to put 400 horses under an affordable hood these days, but look at it this way; the engineers who desinged the musclecars are long retired, and the engineers who design today's stuff grew up having 1990 cavaliers as a first car..pretty hard to get worked up about performance if that's where your memories are from.

[screwyou01234]

I'd take that road runner any day!

[Manwithjeep]

Holy Crap! I'll take one of each please. Does anyone now how to build a garage...a really big one?

[obscureluzername]

Is it okay to masturbate when I watch this?

[anhero86]

Whose name do you call out when you climax? For me, it's DUSTERRRRRR!!!!....zzzzzzz

[stevezilla68]

did they just describe the Duster as a 'supercar'? or do they mean 'super car' as in 'man, these tacos are super.'?

[gumper1986]

Hey man the Duster was a true muscle car like any of the other ones on that commercial. Just because it didn't come with a big block option doesn't mean it couldn't pound a few heads. The Duster makes a great all around car due to it's light weight, compact style and good yet all business looks.

[chargermopar]

Chrysler needs to get its head out of the sand and build a new 'Cuda with the look and feel of the original car (as close as possible) and a new set of engines true to its heritage. Use some of the new high-tech engines and suspension technology but keep the old look. They will sell thousands!

[joh2]

There is someone that has had a 'one-off' "2008" Cuda built, based off the new Challenger - although it is badged as the less catchy "Chrysler Barracuda"...

[ixelerate]

yea it was for SEMA...its not being sold at this years Barret Jackson

[AWFChris2007]

I understand why we have tuned our performance minded Detroit plants down, I just wish that instead of them telling us we have to accept it, that they instead let us choose what we want. Like maybe offer a line of cars meant to do what the 65 - 71 series of Mopars did as well as offering the newer more efficiant vehicles. It is communistic the way things are done these days.

[driver793]

yeah id dig them all they were bitchen ass cars back then i rember when i was a kid back in the 80s i was born in 79 the cars was'nt really as populer like they r now i grow up with some of them old cars my mom and dad had there share of old mopars i have the mopar poison in my blood lol

[jazzypants123]

Why can't someone make reproductions that are also Hybrids?

[71GOLDDUST7]

Hybrid this DOUCEBAG!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jadotch]

What the heck happened to American cars. I am salavating at the entire Plymouth line up. Today it is hard to find 3 or 4 I actually like out of the entire Big Three all put together.

Oh, well, I am slowly hot rodding a 1971 Duster.

[Paulyw86]

If I had money to buy a 2 million dollar Cuda, I'd pull the stock motor, build another stock specs 426 Hemi and race and drive the car like it was intended, then after a couple years do another 6 figure restoration. Also alot of people didn't know then what they know now, most people we're cracked out then or whatnot, smart people hung on to their cars haha.

[FirebirdFreak]

Its funny how back then a 'cuda was probably a few thousand, and now they are a few hundred thousand or a couple million!

[enigma413]

Wish I could get a GTX.

[Ebenoozen]

Ah, if we knew then.... What we know now. cha---CHING!!

[enzoz4]

long live mopar. long live the roadrunner.

[motodude1]

I DIG it!!

[rosenb37]

This commercial is for a sales promotion, not the Rapid Transit System.

Also, the Superbird indeed was a part of the RTS - it is a Road Runner, after all.

[84L69TA]

The Superbird wasnt part of the Rapid Transit System

[granujavitz]

Amazing cars,but where is the Superbird?

[bavarialand]

Mopar, Direct connection.

[ChargerDaytona]

I'd like to know what the guy says at all. Although I posted this video, I can't understand very well what he says...

[whokeithmoon]

@ChargerDaytona THATS EASY HE SAYS SHUT THE FUCK UP CLEAN THE SHIT OUTA YOUR EARS AND LISTEN.

[darkhouse1906]

The best part is when the guy says "dig this"!

[PajamasandMore]

Awesome video!!
