It's great to see Stevie Mags back at work!

[@lonnyjaw]

Hey Brother Steve, we missed you doing what God created you to be - a very cherished educator in the field of automotive history and we thank God for answered prayer on your behalf. Welcome back Brother!!

[@shanechristensen4689]

Amen

[@FYMASMD]

You religious kooks just can’t help yourselves can you. Keep praying. That guarantees nothing happens.

[@davidp2888]

Always enjoy seeing Steve in front of the camera.

[@zzzoo2]

Thanks Steve! Even the name “Road Runner” told the story. Absolutely love these things, and that color is perfect!

[@Daniel-fd3wp]

No kidding I see those pop up on Craigslist every now in the here in San Diego and it’s usually a heaping pile off you know what and they want stupid money. They are very nice cars. 👍

[@Sebastian_Dinwiddie]

"Just say no to encephalitis kids" just cracked me up. Great attitude Steve!

[@kc-6837]

Good to see you back Steve. The greatest muscle made!

[@brentnearhood8874]

Thanks! Steve You could sneak a lot of people into the Drive-In with that huge trunk.

[@michaelstrafello7346]

They fixed that towards the end of drive in heyday they started changing by the carload

[@mikemichaud5048]

Thank you Steve!👍

[@fishgeralding9224]

My favorite year was to 70. I had a buddy back in the day that had a 68 sedan 383. We put a gear in it and had it running mid 13's, no problem. Keep em coming Mags. 👍

[@frankjones4094]

"Just say no to encephalitis kids" cracked me up. Still have that dry sense of humor. Love ya Steve

[@scottyboy60098]

I remember seeing my first Road Runner on the road in late 1968. Driving with my dad in his 318 V8 wagon. Great memories!

[@davidhechler5882]

Good to see you back Steve. Wanted to impart that all the evidence I could find shows that Plymouth paid 50K for the rights to use the roadrunner cartoon.

[@richardbarkley9909]

So great to see Steve back in action!! 1 day at a time Sir!! we're just glad you're here!! This said a friend had a real sleeper back in 1973 when I met him; He had a '68 SPORT Satellite with a 383 & 4speed. Loved that car!! My Cousin is drag racing a '78 Roadrunner nowadays, 360, and runs mid 11s....

[@charlesdalton985]

The meme that shows a guy looking over his shoulder at another woman, while holding his girlfriend's hand - that's how I feel as a dyed in the wool Chevy guy when I see a Road Runner. Man I still want one - optioned like this. Thank you Mr Magnante and High Octane Classics ~ Chuck

[@garyslentzii2796]

Im glad you mentioned the resonance of the horn. I bet not many knew about how they got it to make the sound it makes. Beep-Beep!

[@golson1098]

Great video Steve! And thanks to High Octane Classics for the video as well!

[@fmswatchdo2373]

Really enjoying these shorter car reviews by Steve, I miss him on the auction shows.

[@BoB-yb3wx]

I had a 69 Road Runner when I was a teenager. It had light weight plastic (bondo) quarter panels lol. 383 4 speed, I loved that car.

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Man what a beautiful car! And more special when is a manual transmission!👌🥰👍 continue healing ❤️‍🩹 Steve!

[@debbiebermudez5890]

Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍. Professor Steve 📏📝📓🎓🍎. It’s not the yard & it’s nice to see them in one pice !

[@mlj6419]

Steve, you are the GOAT. Your knowledge is off the charts. Thanks!

[@googleusergp]

Once again, another day closer to being 100% and you getting back in full swing. Yup, 1969 model year with the VIN for the win (from the HOC website): R for Belvedere/Satellite, M for Medium Price class, 23 for two door hardtop, H for 383 CID V8, high performance, 9 for 1969 model year, A for Lynch Road, Detroit, MI assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Lynch Road plant last produced "R" body cars and closed in April 1981. We got (from the HOC website), the tag, we can brag: F3 for Frost Green or F8 for Ivy Green exterior paint (the tag is in poor condition), D21 for four speed manual transmission, V21 for performance hood treatment, possible E63 for 383 CID V8, among other codes. Not really correct. GM put trunk spatter paint inside of the trunk, and painted the underside of the lid.

[@user-xk4vt9ye8j]

My first car was a 69’ Plymouth Satellite 2 door with a 318. I always wished I had the 383 but if I had I probably wouldn’t be here to post this.

[@richdorak1547]

Great to see you doing what you do so well ! Steady ahead , our Brother .

[@jcat96]

Beautiful spec. and I'm glad to see you in better health and hope it continues that way!

[@MikeJBlues]

Awsome car Steve, I drove one in high-school, 1978. Wish I still had it.

[@stevenwolfgang2744]

Steve’s introduction hits home, when I worked at McDonald’s in 1971-1972 our manager had a 1970 SS454 Chevelle, our grill guy had a 1969 SCJ 428 Mach 1, our fry guy had a 1968 GT 500 Shelby, I had a 1966 K-code Mustang GT. These cars were our transportation and it was common to see Roadrunners, Boss 302s and even Hemi-powered Mopars in our parking lot. Little did we know how historic this era of American muscle would be.

[@chiefbobdavis99]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@davidchristensen6908]

There is no one better the Steve M. To present the car at High Octane videos .

[@airforceveteran71]

A used car dealer in Riverside had a yellow '69 RR for sale back in '74...I took it out for a test drive...had a 383 auto...asking $2,400...but I passed...like many did due to the gas embargo crisis at the time...thanks for sharing Steve...nice ride.

[@mikefrazier3826]

Glad to see you back in action Steve.

[@stevethomas760]

My best bud in high school had one of the first Road Runner in Atlanta. We thought we were something. Fun times, thanks Steve!

[@J-Obot]

Steve, the way you can talk about these vehicles makes me think of a classical composer or a renaissance painter and their works of art. You are a maestro and a genius of automobile knowledge! So glad I found your channel just a year or two ago and am now hearing you again. ❤

[@terryrochfort3803]

Wonderful to see you back Steve!

[@johnkranyics281]

Great see you doing more videos Steve. You did a great presentation on a great muscle car.👍👍🇨🇦

[@jamesmisener3006]

[@user-RustyBill]

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

This is my kind of car. Base model, manual transmission, bench seat, and a big block. Man I wish I could afford it. I love this era cars

[@svenlarsen9732]

Love Stripped basic early RdRunnerz

[@mooosestang]

[@MikeTheSlacker]

Great video Steve! Another fantastic offering

[@IndridCool54]

Hey Steve! Nice car! 👍🏼

[@SolamenteVees]

Keeping the algorithm working, from SE Arizona- where Roadrunners are actual yardbirds. 🌵☀

[@5666mike]

I had a 68 just like it back in 70. Bright blue with a white top. Mine was not a roadrunner, it had a 273 and automatic. Looked good, sounded tough, we called it a "Street Walker."

[@Drogar0204]

Ordered a very similar 69 Same color blue same white vinyl top My car was automatic with 3.91 gears buckets and center console My dad won’t allow me to order the hemi however that’s the worst thing he ever did Thanks for bringing back amazing memories!!

[@ronaldmills7525]

Hey Steve nice Road Runner I love you you're a good guy you like a walking encyclopedia keep up the good work bud

69 Road Runner is my favorite Chrysler musclecar!!

[@JL-rj9fl]

Awesome. My dad had one of these, it was a 383 4-speed car with positraction. It was Turquoise with the black hood. He loved it, it was geared for speed (not sure on the ratio) rather than acceleration. It was the first new car he ever purchased, exactly the target demographic for this.

[@rickciaburri5722]

I remember a client, some years ago who had a 69 Chevelle SS with a six, so to learn that a RoadRunner could be had with is six cylinder is not surprising. Thanks for these great videos!

[@waynebrumley2315]

hey Steve, good to see you!

[@jayczyzyk9707]

Welcome back

[@ScottOnDrums]

My father had a 1969 Plymouth Road Runner in 1970. He was the 2nd owner. It was a 383ci 335hp 2 door hard top auto on the column with a bench seat. From the only photo we have of it it looks like it was F8 green. No hood stripes, No vinyl top, No Air grabber. My father did install exhaust dumps or cutouts after he bought it for drag racing. He got rid of it in 1971 cause of the high insurance and gas. But mainly cause he wanted to marry my Mom. Don't the where abouts of the Runner now or even If it still exists. My father was told that the car might have been wrecked sometime in the mid to late 70's but it was never confirmed.

[@timbrady6473]

You’re sounding and looking like your old self Steve . Good on you.

[@installwebercarburetorsona6159]

Go Steve!

[@michaelstrafello7346]

What a jewel thanks Steve

[@johnbauer5298]

Although this Road Runner wasn’t restored to OEM specifications it’s still a nice looking car. I sold my numbers matching 383, 4 speed VO2 paint code RR at the Mecum auction in Indianapolis in 2013. Sad day for me.😢

[@papabash]

So glad to see you up and doing what you do so well Steve ! You are a walking talking encyclopedia of automotive knowledge .... I had a similar condition to yours caused by a mosquito bite (west Nile virus ) just say no kids ! you haven't lost your sense of humor

[@davehad-enough2369]

Thanks Steve ..... nice car.

[@matrox]

The 69 hemi RR was car of the year. I bought a 69' RR in 75' or 76'.

[@craigbenz4835]

Great car.

[@nerradnosnhoj5122]

Good to see you back here Steve , Thank You for the video

[@anthonylaspisa6992]

Wow who owns this car that is my dream car the color I've been looking for this will look beautiful in my collection thank you Steve on with the show

[@GarrettFrey]

Steve's back!!!!!!

[@Chris-ho9pq]

Good to see you Steve.I always learn something new from your videos.

[@steveg1833]

Looking good Steve! I'm 67yo I will never be able to get into this because of cost the closest I got was my dad's 69 Satellite when I was 16 my dream will never come true because I was just an honest working class stiff all of my life.

[@mrozboss]

Good to see your getting better mate in 68 and 69 Chrysler Australia introduced the valiant pacer aimed at the youth also a very cool old car not many made

[@diegohorton869]

Fantastic Work Steve 👍🏽

[@VerifiedVIPMember]

Mr. Mopar should point all the details that indicate this was an incomplete or a rushed restoration: Pitting on front inner fender wells/hood, numerous items under the hood are painted blue that shouldn't be, i.e. shocks, cambers bolts, inspections covers, etc., door jam hardware is painted blue, rattle can black paint in the trunk, fender tag is rotted, no pics of undercarriage (no resto on it), etc. Most likely, this car was heavily rotted and has had a lot of body work. How good is the quality? Most likely, you're looking at a huge money pit down the road.

[@pmafterdark]

They want $55k for that lol. Love Steve but I consider HOC just another one of those over priced, sub-par quality for the money, big boys toys dealers.

[@VerifiedVIPMember]

@@pmafterdark Yup, just another ripoff car dealer....

[@johndavis1789]

My man 💯 grand keep it going do what you do best

[@kc0lif]

nice car. hope to see you in burniston.😊

[@ralphhorst3682]

Love the video! Keep up the great work!

[@johndavis1789]

I had a 73 440 yessir it was bad to the bone I installed headers high jackets and ladder bars hickey Thomson tires and more

[@danielsee1]

Yes, they were not being niggardly with trunk space. It was indeed commodious.

[@Wooley689]

Steve would have been the perfect high-volume seller.

[@danaglass5394]

Dana "60" Glass. Can't keep a good Man down. Still have that sharp mind when describing the cars features etc. Keep fighting!

[@sjupicudacuda898]

Bring back junkyard GOLD!!!!!!!

[@alansimpson6847]

Good job😊

[@richardbarkley9909]

Looks like the shifter originally came with the pistol grip and it now has a ball.

[@rickpatton8281]

The Pistol Grip shifter didn't come out till 1970.

[@CaptainJerry-]

[@tedlawrence4189]

Real bargain. I have a '68 post coupe. 383,4spd,radio,373 posi and that is it! MSRP was under $3000.
