To the motorheads it was the 283 engine, and 12 volt electrics…

paint and stickers do not make a road runner. total junk

I wanted one of these so bad, back in the day. (with a condom dispenser)

The 1970 model was an updated 68-69 body. Am of opinion that was the high water point. This “bloated” body debuted for the ‘71 model year. Meaning Fall of ‘70.

The panel gaps on these old cars are so bad, build quality was 😱

This 1974 example has a big block. Someone may have swapped it in it's fender tag says 318.

The "fuselage" body style began in '71, not '70.

I sooo got the hots for a 1958 T bird.

My wife's mom and dad had one in 1990 1978 model it was the silver with the orange strip I can remember it well had the BF.GOODWENRC.TAs all way around it .but my wife was 15 then she's 50 now took her a little ride one morning with our any one be home but her so she took her a little ride but not far from home she took out a fence .that was all of the pinto curzer.thanks for your great vids you do awesome job why don't you do one on the Chevelle like from 64 to 67 then 68 to 72 be great video I .

Looks like an 8-track...

Man, it would be nice to be able to bring a few of these wagons home. There's enough parts between 2 or 3 of them to build a decent driver. Of course it would need upholstery and carpet. But pretty much everything else is there

So much glass!!! Like driving in a snow globe.

My parents had one exactly like this when I was little. I've seen old pictures and it's orange with portholes just like that one. I would love to have it just to see my mom's face when I pulled up in it

Jeff Dunham has both.

How much are they asking for it?

Ive been to that location..❤ I just wish I could find an AMC car still decent enough to put back on the road.

70 was by itself , 71 to 74 was the next style

Thank you Rick

Awesome! The bad part about this Pinto…I can remember these!!

Beautiful Ford Wagon. I love the 64 Galaxies

Did he just say the Mustang was built on a Firebird chassis?

Chevy had the Vega Panel Wagon that was like this.

Can I have it?

Damn fine American made cars. Everything was better in the 70's. Let's make America great again!

That was a nice looking black Z28 Camaro. Either 80-81, though with n90 rims likely 81. If its a manual it's somewhat rare too.

I believe the comedian Rich Dunham. Has the cruising pinto wagon and the cruising Ford van

Turn those early 70s the Mercury Capri had the gas tank behind the rear seat. I always thought that was safer

I remember those

I had several pinto's. No Cruising wagons but a pewter color and 1 green with wood grain. A hatchback Runabout, white and orange with a Competition Cam (Crower) Hooker header and Edelbrock intake and 4bbl Carb. Just to name a few! They were virtually indestructible! By the 80's you could buy them for $100 or less. You have to remember, the type person that bought the pinto, were people that only put gas in them...and drove. No mntc. With only idiot lights, you only added oil or coolant if the red light came on!

Had a '74 GTX i bought right out of high school in 1985 for $1000. Sadly, it's gone now.

A few decades ago the 57 was the one to have. Today not much interest in them, muscle cars are more in demand

6:27 I wonder if you noticed that it has two fuel gauges? o_0

They were pieces of junk and that's exactly where it belongs. They were never good and they showed how the American car makers went into the small car market kicking and screaming and the results are what you see here. No VIN, can't win. No tag, can't brag.

Hi Rick. As a native Arizonan, I watched you on the boob tube forever! Good to see/hear you talking cars here. Also a lifelong car guy myself. I’ve had 183 cars and trucks! 😊 Well done sir. Just subbed……💪🏻

Great job and great content Rick! I see your subscriber count is climbing and rightfully so. I really enjoy how in depth your information is.

I had a new 74 Roadrunner … equipped with a 360-Carter Thermo-quad 4 barrel carburetor .. automatic slap-stick transmission …. I miss it tremendously 😢 .. sadly Connecticut winters took a toll on my RR .

Hmmmm 2 fuel gauges on the orange one. The one on the main cluster is huge.

Had a Hotwheels Poison Pinto.

I've always liked the 71-74 RR , those were the ones I seen the most when I was a kid 😊

Love these vids ! One of the few channels that i allow to alert me of a new video. Anxious for the next...

The 71 and 72 is my favorite body style of the road runner/ gtx/satellite. I have a 1972 satellite sebring plus that I’m making roadworthy again. I also have a 1970 Chrysler newport I drive every weekend.

Never trash Chrysler's, save them all

The Mustang was built off a Falcon chassis originally.

🤔👉 How much 💲in '74?

🤔👉the "Beep,Beep" and cartoon sold this car

Mopar / Chrysler build qualiy was junk and the styling wasn't near as cool as Ford and chevy

Only a fascist nazi would drive a Volkswagen.

Ive seen the first and second 1967 Pontiac Firebirds!

The death of the station wagon and the replacement with things like minivans and SUVs had to do with the CAFE standards. It wasn't because the newer vehicles were better at moving families. [edit to pluralize "standards"]

I've owned several Firebirds, but my all-time Favorite was my '68 Firebird 400 ragtop. It had an Muncie M-22 Rockcrusher 4- speed, a 350 posi rear end, with a Moroso sub-frame & suspension. It handled like a sports car & was fast as Hell. Lotsa good times racing around in that car back in the early '70's
