This old bird is absolutely stunning! I love the 71' body style, you just don't see these anymore, Uncle Tony would be proud!

[@robertgrant4501]

Yes he would.

[@kenwink6353]

Mopar or no car! Sweet man bro had me 2 roadrunners 1968 ,69 now I have a nice 1970 challenger with a 440magnum hemi orange yours looks like mine nice!

[@K1ng1995]

Man I would love to have one of these, nice blue. But everything underneath is a 392 Challenger, Brakes, Reliability, Safety etc.

[@carguy1979]

This guy nailed it with the small touches here and there. That’s a sharp Mopar 👍🏻

[@loganstolworthy7946]

I love the way it looks, it's the perfect touch of modern and classic. Modern style rims but still has sidewall. Led lights that look so good. The fact that he kept the old motor and trans. Love it. It's awesome.

[@madkrixna]

My stepdads brother had 72 road runner. I remember as a pre teen how cool I thought it was. Love this episode.

[@thejoshbtv]

The more I see these Roadrunners, the more I appreciate the look.

[@MAGLtd-hh3ct]

That stroked 400 doesn’t fuck around! Super clean Runner sir! Hats off to you for being able to keep your ride all this time!🇨🇦

[@deopersad2915]

Awesome he kept his first car , and great it's back on the road and better but still original 😀👍🏽👍🏽

[@AutotopiaLA]

Great story with this one

[@nosbike1]

Perfect. Not a huge fan of modern wheels on classics but the Weld's with that rubber are bang on.

[@mikewozawski1634]

I agree not always a fan of modern wheels or big wheel on old muscle

[@jonnydarkoe9101]

Everybody’s always a critic 😂

[@christopherhill6064]

Cool car. Love the not so common Mopars.

[@John_Conner222]

I love his headlights. I like little futuristic details on a historic car.

[@jblovell9065]

Gotta give them Mopars respect

[@arthurroy1463]

Awesome Roadrunner. Love the sound and look. Killer engine, I have a 72 with a 440 6 pack, 4 speed and Manuel brakes.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Awesome!! I love his story with this car

[@cf5341]

That style of Roadrunner has such a unique look. Old Chargers and Challengers are awesome, but I'd pick the '71 Roadrunner over both of those.

[@shaunclifton5281]

Same here ! 71 / 72 Roadrunners are too Cool

[@markkushba5960]

James what a awesome car. I love the older mopars. Nice, nice, car.

[@andrewipp426]

Very cool driver without too much custom work, especially since he’s had it since 1975.... great story behind the connection he has with it!

[@supersport57]

Great looking Mopar

[@proskills2168]

This has become a time machine. Great cars/stories. Nice intro.

[@melvinburwell8202]

Cool. Kept it since high school. Wish I had done the same. Very nice. Rare body style. 👍😎🤩😛

[@paultucker1272]

Cool car, cool story, cool guy!

[@rogerwilco71]

That car will put hair on a baby's chest! Daaa'aamn!! Beautiful car, thanks for showing us cool cars as usual 👍

[@__AverageJoe]

Always been a fan of the 71-72 Plymouth satellite road runner gtx’s . Never get the full respect they deserve such as the 67-70 roadrunner’s

[@kerrygatling663]

It's coming tho.

[@marcusthomas6655]

That thing sounds terrific.

[@DeathToGlobalistsDavidSmith]

Great engine build and mods to the car. Sounds amazing too.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Definitely and I love that he’s had it since 1975! 2nd owner

[@RaiderX948]

Column shift KILLER, beautiful car my friend.

[@alainlajoie443]

First time I see a T/A hood scoop on a B body it’s actually looks awesome on the car. The 400 strokers are the best big block mopar combos.

[@kerrygatling663]

That is a BOSS move ,Air grabber would have been it tho.

[@2dirkjan]

Very nice car. I like it when a car is a long time with one owner. It is close to original and in very good shape. And I have a lot of power.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Great story of ownership with this one

[@2dirkjan]

@@AutotopiaLA indeed and you can see this dude love his car. It's rare that you have a car so long. Thumps up to the owner.

[@stevepick9527]

Gawd I love this car! Can’t beat the sound of a NA engine… really like your vid’s, you encompass so many different builds and various cars. Love that he kept the interior theme close to stock.

[@sillascaballas7902]

what a great Roadrunner...! 71-2 Roadrunner are my favorite cars. congrats to the owner of that car

[@CJColvin]

Man thats one beautiful badass 71 Plymouth Roadrunner.

[@Freebird67]

Really nice car and history nice a nice guy like that having fun respect from Uk fan

[@jorgejefferson8251]

Bold move putting the Challenger T/A style hood on, It looks good.

[@skxj]

No kidding , it sure looks good and keeps it Mopar. nicely done.

[@SigmaStoicGemini]

Sweet bird! 71/72 Roadrunners are totally badges. Meep meep!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Cool ride with a great story

[@thorxxx3130]

Realy nice car💪👀

[@bambammartin1556]

Built a 71 with my grandpa over the course of 10 years. Finding the yellow marker lights and taillights without cracks was the bane of our existence. Gotta love the orange with the factory style stripes.

[@farmboybentley5399]

Thank you autotopia La you guys are awesome and the cars y'all cover are great y'all's videos are amazing I love cars and it makes my day watching y'all's videos thank you and God bless y'all

[@plymouthdie-castreplicas]

Wow! That's an incredible street muscle! It would be the ideal machine for Dom Toretto;-)

[@AutotopiaLA]

Perfect for Dom. He could make it do wheelies too 😂

[@jamespepper2541]

You're never to old to have fun!!! 😆😆😆

[@AutotopiaLA]

Nope!

[@SHOdown13]

Always loved this vintage of Roadrunner

[@paulhammond3488onetime]

Beautiful, one of my favorite cars 71 Road Runner, its set up is perfect. I love that body style wouldn't change a thing. Thanks again Sean 👍

[@bluesmoke218]

I love this car…

[@LoyalistIronWarrior40k]

1 of the best big block muscle cars in history.

[@macombmissile]

BEAUTIFUL ride. Very tasteful.

[@keithlewis9691]

Love everything about this car.

[@MikeJBlues]

Bad ass Mopar !

[@DetVen]

From 1971 when these were released to today...if your dad drops you off at school in this car, you're the coolest kid in the school.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Truth!

[@Trapper50cal]

Two different motor head buddies in high school drove these...a 1971 and a 1974. They're big but they can be made to boogie. It was fun going out on weekend nights and trolling for challengers.

[@steveadams5190]

Lucky man! Not everyone still has their car from high school.

[@AutotopiaLA]

I know! Wish I still had my ‘70 Mustang

[@lagerbeer1974]

Love this!!!

[@kyleforeman4543]

Sweet ride ,all nice touches, glad he kept it..

[@sundown...7718]

[@glennbelfiore5776]

Kick butt Bird!~ Waytogo that thing looks to be completely - Set Up! Love the Flat hood with the added T/A Challenger scoop.

[@vinniecorleone62]

[@jimmyc6686]

Beautiful ride!!!

[@matthew1973]

BEAST!! That car is baller!

[@olsfield]

Beautiful old school muscle 👍

Love it

[@johndavis1789]

I love it👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@akdoc2003]

That car is AWESOME!!!! Would have loved to be his friend in high school! Thanks for sharing!

[@akdoc2003]

@@rickstorm4198 Never a bad time to start! At the time I was referring to when I drove my '72 Plymouth back in high school. I was the only Mopar lover in Ford and Chevy land.

[@colinwhite5355]

Love the story - the car, the people, that’s what it’s all about.

[@tyronewalker1482]

Meep meep BEAUTIFUL ❤️

[@justlistening9463]

When patience pays off garage kept 30 year keeping it rust free. This car's resto mods are tastefully done so nice 71 bird road running no doubt .

[@usmilitarytags194]

I love this car. I had a 1971 Satellite Sebring Plus in high school.

[@vinniebux007]

Dope

[@lucasr6587]

Those leds through that grill look wicked

[@nicholasiadevaio3854]

I prefer the 73/74 Body style... but wow.. this is amazing... I could easily live with this... 😀 .. enjoy in good health.

[@jaggedsleepy1229]

Always making good content with bad ass cars

[@kerrygatling663]

Like everything about this car, but the T/A hood it's your car tho.I like the fact that you kept it old school with very little change.I 'v own a 71 sassy grass green GTX at one time with a hemi sticker(but it had a 383) like the fact that you've brung attention to the 2 nd gen B-body. Cool A$$ car tho.

[@horacehenderson6202]

The car is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@dennisonfamily8839]

Brother your car is absolutely mind blowing, Awesome thanks for sharing your gorgeous investment 👍🏼😎

[@TJs_76Maro]

This is what I like. I did modified stock with my 76 Camaro. I hate restomods today. They debadge the whole car, lower it, put ugly rims on it, it just doesn't look good. This on the other hand is a beautiful machine. Nicely Done!

[@JedemPoKucama]

Such an awesome machine..the only things I would change is the exhaust and the trans

[@joseguadalupecadenamunoz6340]

Diablos amigo que belleza de auto para disfrutarlo manejando por la carretera 💪😎🍺

[@JoseAguirre-ri8tg]

That's a sweet-looking ride

[@richardlevy7328]

Nice car, Cool Guy...😎

[@admanharv8575]

awesome he kept the car all these years, no a/c and a column shift, nice job on the build

[@johndyson4109]

Also to cut the hood from stock makes it more functional but I'd take stock hood scoops and point them FORWARD!

[@papakazas]

I love it each time Shawn gets excited like a little kid with those beautiful cars, I wish I had a job like that too! :-)

[@bruceh92]

The fact it's not a '68-'70 stands out a little more but overall a mean lookin' machine. Congrats man!

[@orangeisthenewblack1012]

Socialism now that sounds good.

[@runslaTe]

man this thing has balls

[@mikewozawski1634]

I love muscle cars

[@mitchellferre1652]

I love this car ! I'm having a hard time believing that it has 650hp with a dual plane rpm intake. Lots of tasty mods here.

[@oldskool1979]

When the juices get going you gotta get er done !

[@DanielAlvarez-xl4qy]

Daaaaamn thats a sick as road runner love these cars i would prefer some cragars on it but thats just me lol great car nothing but american muscle

[@tylerstephen6053]

Gorgeous. Smiled the entire video. Sounds on point as well

[@-Barracuda-426]

😍😍😍meravigliosa

[@platec4798]

Beautiful car! Plate C

[@johndyson4109]

Nice a stroke 400, All of the big 3 made a 400 cui V8... I like the 440-HEMI with a good racing cam. in it.. 6-Pack.. NOS equipped.. The biggest MOD. I'd make to a Road Runner would be a INDEPENDENT rear suspension.. Keep the rear a bit lower for handling.. 10:1 ratio at the MOST! Same size tires in front and back. The fat rear tires make it look kinda like a FUNNY car to modified for me..
