The Plymouth Road Runner is a mid-size car with a focus on performance built by Plymouth in the United States between 1968 and 1980. By 1968, some of the original muscle cars were moving away from their roots as relatively cheap, fast cars as they gained features and increased in price. Plymouth developed the Road Runner to market a lower priced, basic trim model to its upscale GTX.
The 1973-74 models received completely new sheet metal and had more conventional squared-up front-end styling and changes to the rear that more closely resembled the four-door models than the 71-72s. In addition, the interior options included retaining power seats and windows as well as offering plusher carpeting and seat covers, moving the car to a slightly higher level of luxury. The restyling helped sales which were up 40% over the 1972 models. In testing 1/4 mile times were getting close to the 16s, top speeds had dropped to barely over 125 mph (201 km/h), and the car moved further away from "musclecar" status. The base engine for the 1973-74 models had dropped down to Chrysler's workaday 318 CID V8 but equipped with dual exhausts which bumped the power up to 170 hp (127 kW). After 1972, no 440 with four-speed manual cars were built. The code E68 400 cu in 260 hp engine was the biggest Plymouth offered with the 4-speed, which could also be had with the 340 (1973), and 360 (1974) engines. The 318 was equipped with a 3-speed manual transmission as standard (though very few were built), and the TorqueFlite as an option, though at least one 318 engine 1974 car was built with the 4-speed manual transmission equipped with a Hurst shifter. The 440 cu in engine, boasting 280 hp was still available for 1973 and 1974, but only mated to the 727 TorqueFlite automatic, with 3.55 sure-grip 8 3/4 rear axle gearing available. (Some info from the Dodge and Plymouth Muscle Car Red Book, by Motorbooks International.)

Pretty cool build. You forgot to try the mudge podge trick for the headlights I told you about. lol If those left over wheels are the basic hubcaps, I think that Round2 missed an opportunity of putting more decals on the decal sheet to be able to downgrade this car into a base Satellite. But that doesn't take anything away from this kit. I've seen many people have fitting issues with previous releases. I guess Round2 fixed the molds as to fix those issues.

Very nice build!!!! I’m pretty sure that these are the same molds as the old Daisy’s Road Runner from the Dukes of Hazzard line by MPC. All you have to do is paint it yellow with black stripes and you have Daisy’s car from the show.

Great Job Chris. That's one I definitely have to get. As owned one. Mine was Black with white stripes. The only thing I see missing is the chrome resonator exhaust tips, they had slots in them with red interiors .... which came stock. Looks like a pretty cool kit.

Even nicer to see after the build....its a well rounded kit overall....for an mpc pretty nice really. Love the additions of the super nice decals an pad printed tires to these older kits.....and those factory rally wheels are really really nice! Very rare too....those particular ones in kit form not sure if iv ever seen em in a kit. Also the 400 decals....like em.rare

If you covered any of this in the video, I apologize. I have an ear infection and can't hear squat. Good news is, this includes my wife as well. Is this a retooled kit? I built this years ago and the detail seems better. I also remember several fit issues and it seems to have more parts, i.e. mirrors. You did a hell of a job on this, she's beautiful.

Chris, this is a very cool build period. Nice job. I absolutely love the crazy colors that the MOPAR people used in the late 60’ and Early 70’s. As you know these colors are returning today on the modern Chargers and Challenger cars. Was MOPAR’s sales pitch “ The Rapid Transit System” ? Very nice build Chris! Keep doing what you do. Thank you! BEEP BEEP !!

i made quite good expierence with a little trick, i read about once. if you start spray, maybe even with primor, just do first a real small coat, like not even one. just like 30 sec. of spray. Then wait another quarter hour, and go on with the paint job. It's a great little trick thing imo. Maybe someone gains technique out of my comment. lol love them old kits

paint it yellow with the black strobe stripe and you have Daisy Duke's Road Runner car. They used a 1971 Plymouth Road Runner for season one and then used a 1972 Plymouth Satellite with a black Road Runner Stripe for season 2. You can notice the difference in the cars by the different front grills between the 71 Road Runner and 72 Satellite.

I just picked up the kit. My very first car was the 73 Plymouth Satellite Sebring Plus v8 318. It was triple green..dark green body, green interior and a dark green vinyl top and I am going to turn the 74 into that 73 I had. Same exact body, grille and back bumper! Can you do more videos on how to put on a vinyl top and rust body and fading? Thx love you vids!
