1968 Road Runner 383 sound check

[@bah1153]

sounds so good, I had a new one in 1968, Sliver out blue in, had tac on the steering column, but mine had a Hurst T handle shifter same 383 mag. engine, so loved that car! Wish I had it now!

[@mehmetmutluoglu1542]

I love the little one's mumbling behind the camera and running after daddy to catch up with...Great car, great sound.

[@daleandrews9356]

One of my best friend's mother bought him one while we were still in late '69 or early 1970. He convinced his naive mother that it was just a Belvedere with a few "dress up" items! Needless to say, she knew NOTHING about cars It was a factory 383 with a bench seat and stick shift. From the curb, it looked innocent enough and was factory bone stock. The factory h.p. had been seriously underrated(for insurance purposes, we now know) at 330 if my memory serves me correctly. For a full sized car, that thing turned out some serious acceleration/performance! We took my dad for a "spin" and he got the shit scared out of him when we got to a stretch of open road and he "aired it out". Oh, those were the days.

[@jimstrict-998]

330 was the gross rating for the regular 4-barrel 383. The Road Runner was given a "335" gross rating.

[@genius-no5sl]

I freaking love this car , with 383 and red line tires . It's just beautiful

[@williamurban7358]

Great Looking RR and I do love the lope of the Real "383"...

[@davidlane9138]

Beautiful color, luv the 68 model the best.💪💚😎

[@hdi1200]

My family had dual Roadrunners. My father’s electric blue ‘68: 383, A3, 3.23 open, PS, PB, AM, bench seat. My brother’s Vitamin-C orange ‘70: 383, air grabber, A3, 3.9 Sure-Grip, F60x15, buckets, console. My mother drove the ‘68 to her job as a teacher at our Catholic school. They sounded great when they were warming up side-by-side in the driveway! Have only a couple pictures of either one. Never thought to get a pic of them together.

[@robertroach1403]

Love the Mopar lope!!

[@922breezy]

Love the RR. Had one YEARRRRRRSSSSS ago. Yellow, black top and blacked out hood. Every time I slammmmmed 2nd gear my glove box would spring open and all my 4 track / 8 track tapes would end up in the back of the car. ;-)

[@loyalfan57]

When I'd pack 2'nd my left turn signal went on.

[@jdiguls2848]

I think someone's lyyyying

[@marklongo4847]

Aye you ain't lying man I'm 32 now but when I was 9 my pops had a 68 383 4 speed and man when he slam second that glove box would fall open every time lol daaaang man you brought back memories right there 😅

[@dscott130]

I had a '68 383 RR with Torqueflite - Gold with Black Vinyl Top. What great memories! One of my favorite boyhood cars! I want another one :-) Same color and everything!

[@danpals7678]

I know I'm late to this party. I've had several old Mopars. All 383 4 727 s and now I drive a 66 383 727 Charger. 90 % original. Sometimes I start her just to hear her rumble. My neighbors even like it, lol

[@peterjohnporquez3895]

Man that turns back time. My brother had a 1970 Roadrunner 383 High performance wished he would have kept in the family. Your's sound excellent radical, love the color and year

[@steveh9436]

Love that camshaft. 😀

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Beautiful ride and sounds great!

[@69moparman]

Very Nice !! Hard to beat a big block Mopar !

[@neilreynolds1865]

69moparman Not easy to beat a small block mopar either brother ! 😉

[@wisecracker1814]

OMG. Just like MY green '68 RR 383. Except for the black accent on the hood & the GTX wheels, looks... & sounds... exactly the same. I bought it a month after I graduated H.S. in July '70 and sold it when I got drafted in Sept '71. I LOVED that car, and so did the ladies:) Wish I still had 'it'. Wish I still had that RR, too... 🤣

[@jonathanmcgowan7746]

road runner is my favorite car. Just gotta nit pick those tips though, they should be oval. Square tips are for Dodges! Fantastic car and sounds great!

[@matrox]

I had a green 69 383 RR. years ago.

[@davidtrobaugh9798]

I had one in 1974. Nice Car.

[@andrewashington6462]

That 383 is sweat..super nice!

[@owentimo]

Awesome! Thats cool you included your kid in making the video, He'll remember this day!

[@vinskeeter]

One of the reasons why 68 was the best year for Mopar was, the chrome Magnum 500 wheels.

[@ervinthompson6598]

Careful - don’t wake the HOA with that pretty beeperbird !!

[@jasonparker5746]

Nice road runner! I like how you threw Bo Diddley's song in there too.

[@jeffscott8323]

Sweet music out them exaust

[@daleandrews367]

My best friend's mom bought him a '68 RR the year after high school(in 1970). Hell, she was naïve enough to think it was just a stripped down Belvedere with dog dish hubcaps. It had the base 383 rated at I think 330 hp. I don't know the rear gears but they were fairly low. It would flat shit and get it!

[@mikecarmean6446]

Looks and Sounds Great! 💥💥💥💥💥 Not Stock 383 🤔but like Higher Lift Cam! Killer 💥💥🇺🇸💥💥

[@ezrabrooks12]

BEAUTIFUL ROADRUNNER!!!!!!

[@milwaukeegregg]

This is what $2600.00 bought you new back in the day....Beep-Beep that ace......

[@turbo5124]

Sounds and looks great

[@marvingross8151]

Sweet ride

[@williambissell5943]

I think I have to adjust the carbs on mine. I am getting a Very Heavy Exhaust Gas Smell to her...The Carbs were rebuilt last year and only driven 50 miles... Mine is just like yours. Red with the flat black hood. Thanks!

[@johnmcgowan2585]

Beautiful car but if I had to nit pick I would say lose the square exhaust tips - those are Dodge tips! Mancini Racing has the correct oval tips for the Plymouth B-Body. Other than that I love this car!

[@tomquinn607]

Beautiful. Really like to know the engine/exhaust mods.

[@adriangarza8849]

Love that Bird 👍

[@SCfanIam100]

The tail light section on the 68's were gorgeous and then in 69 and 70 they went cheap!

[@thomasowens6041]

I like them both. Might be partial to the 69 though. Had one ....miss it still.

[@Moparmaga-1]

I don't know about cheap, the 70 looks pretty detailed

[@ezrabrooks12]

Dennis/// I HAD A 69 GTX,I LOVED THE GRILL AND TAIL ON THAT THING!!!!!! WISH I STILL HAD HER!!!!!!

[@Moparmaga-1]

Perfect cam tune

[@robertross4936]

GREATEST EVER.

[@JrGoonior]

I thought for sure he was going to try and scare the sh!t out of that little white dog the lady was walking! DAMN!

[@miltiadesbrouzas6576]

This car man with the exhaust and also the headers it sounds like it's bigger than a 383 but I'm sure but it was tight- your car-t muscle cars the only way to go-best of luck bro

[@stevehartz4615]

My 2nd fav car!

thats the sound of a 268 284 split cam 474 lift,dead stock

[@jerrygilbert3273]

sorry guys. i had a new 383 road runner and my exhaust was a little loud, but my stock engine did not lope that much. i had a little help in 1968 because i had a 4:11 gear. had to guess my speed until 1969 when i could get a speedo gear

[@tomcurley6965]

Yeah I agree with you I had a 1968 Roadrunner I got in april of 1968 and it didnt have that kind of cam lope.

[@bandittweintraub]

definatly 383 RR motor with the 440 Camshaft. :P

[@christianandrews1328]

sounds good !!!

[@johnstafford2402]

😄👏👏👏 I’ll bet that’s not ‘emissions compliant’ 👍 awesome car.

[@SorryWereOpen247]

I was just gettn ready to say..."How is this car emission legal with a pulse that hard" ?...Especially a California !!!

[@haroldmccormick5044]

Cars on the road today only have to meet the emission standards of the year it was manufactured.

[@ezrabrooks12]

John//// IS ANY THING REALLY COMPLIANT IN KOMIEFORNIA??????? GRASS DIES DURING A DROUGHT,YOU GET A FINE,WATER YOUR GRASS SO YOU DON'T GET FINED,YOU GET A FINE!!!!!! HEAVEN FORBID THAT THE WIND BLOWS ANY WATER AND IT GETS ON THE STREET,BECAUSE THEN YOU ARE WASTING WATER AND YOU GET ANOTHER FINE!!!!! I KNOW THIS FACT BECAUSE MY BROTHER WAS TRANSFERED OUT THERE,HE'S HAD ENOUGH OF THESE BASTARDS!!!!!! HE KNEW IT'D BE BAD OUT THERE!!!!!

Can you name the upgrades you did to it like kind of exhaust, I have the same 68 383 all stock and would love this sound.

[@daytonasunset]

WOW

Sounds good, what cam?

probably not the wisest thing to show your license plate in the world we live in today....great sound though....enjoy!!!

[@LoneWolf-yp2mo]

Mine was white with a blacked out hood. It got TOTALED while I was siting at a red light. Almost got killed because of some IDIOT that was high and driving WAY to fast. Never even hit the brakes for the red light, rear ended me at about 60mph, I put the lady in front of me through the intersection. All I needed to do was make a right turn and drive less than a 1/4 mile to my home. I had JUST finished a true ground up resto 2 months before. It was 1994. I still don't walk right. The idiots daddy owned half of the city so guess what ... Does the name Manafort ring a bell ..... pretty sure he paid off my lawyer to burn me .... yeah, try to PROVE it ... Glad the MF'r's in prison now

[@jarrodg70]

what paint color is that? really pretty what did those floor-mats read? surely not Ford? lol

[@davidson2004fatboy]

ORIGINAL BLACK CARPET ! READS "ROAD RUNNER "

[@ImBrockatron]

What cam does it have?

[@jeffscott8323]

69 steering wheel

[@omahadave]

My 383 was a joke compared to my 440.

[@AmericanIsraeliJew]

I use to chuck 440's right and left. never lost a race to a 440. The only car that ever beat me was a Mustang Mach 1 390 - 1969

[@AmericanIsraeliJew]

I had a Yellow 1968 roadrunner 383, Mallory dual points, stock gears, Arvin Glasspacks, Delco Air Shocks, Peerless wide tires on slotted mag rims. Went through three clutches always the fingers pressure plate that were breaking from power shifting not the disc wearing out. The reason the stock 1968 383 was so power full was because it had 11 to 1 compression ratio where as most of the later mopars were 10 1/2 to 1. I bought that car with money I earned from my paper route and later what I earned working in restaurants. I had it in 10th grade in High School. I scored all kinds of gash in the back seat of that car.

[@omahadave]

Unless your 383 was built and you were running against stock 440's your story isn't possible. Just mechanically isn't possible.

[@HorsepowerDr]

383's NEVER came from the factory with 11 to 1 compression....10 to 1 was the highest n it was down to 8.5 to 1 by 1971

[@hanksmithjr5044]

Had em' both. A 68' 383 Roadrunner 4 speed manual and a 70' Challenger 440 Mag R/T Auto both bought new. Looking back I miss the Roadrunner more than the Challenger. The Roadrunner was faster and it handled better.

[@miltiadesbrouzas6576]

What's the name of that color

[@sleger74]

Check out sleger74 thats my roadrunner 440 4speed..I love the roadrunners best looking ass on a muscle car ever
