Wrecks to Riches | S2E4 | Plymouth Satelite Roadrunner

The Road Runner made the Coyote look stupid in cartoon land. How will Barry and the team go with their SMC version?
This no-frills speedster was a favorite with moonshiners; it could outrun any police car. Barry doesn't plan to break the law, but he sure wants to break the rules.
Helping him are some more guys from O'Reilly (Tim Porter and Scott Jensen) and MOPAR guru Ronnie Jenkins. It's the A-team turning this ugly duckling into a swaggering swan.
And Barry has another auction brainstorm: "Sell it on the internet!" Barry's entrepreneurial spirit is ignited by his DIY auction, now he's putting his next creation online, hoping to flush out buyers from absolutely everywhere.
Bidders can watch the build progress on Barry's website as they contemplate how much they think it's worth. What's more the last two days of auction will be watched at SEMA, by Barry, his team and thousands of SEMA visitors who have a chance to bid themselves through computers at the TURBO stand. A big screen projector and loud auctioneer calling the online action will be a SEMA showstopper.
Then it's out to the SEMA skid pan to smoke up the Road Runner before adoring fans.

Ron reminds me of a little bit of Fabio and big part of Sam Eliott. Greatest respect for Ron and the knowledge that he gives to the power he loves. Forever MOPAR.. PEACE CAM.

[@billolah1372]

69 Hemi Roadrunner is my favorite car of all time . So beautiful well done , great job fellows

[@billolah1372]

I would have went as high as 100 grand if I had to , to get that Roadrunner .

[@jayjohnson4843]

I would have bought that first Road Runner. That Orange Road Runner

[@jayjohnson9128]

Look Dumb ASS. FOR ONE. LOOK AT THE GRILL. LOOK AT THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS. IT IS NOT A 1969. IT IS A PLANE JANE FACTORY 1968 PLYMOUTH SATELLITE ONLY.

[@brucewayne9483]

Read very closely. You think you know your Mopars huh. Try it's a 1968 Road Runner Not a 1969. Look up the rear tail lights & grill. There's a big big difference in 1968 & 1969 Road Runner, Satellite style Dumb ASS

[@martyk4593]

Ron seems like a really clever passionate guy. Enjoy seeing him in these few episodes

[@Scrapla1]

He is and he still pops up on the show Grave Yard Cars which focus on the restoration of classic MOPAR muscle!

[@Scrapla1]

He is and he's been on many other shows. He most recently was on the show Graveyard Car's and installed one his trick suspensions on a car.

[@michaelhood1291]

I’ve got a numbers matching 69’ 383 hard top 4spd Road Runner in Rallye Green. She is my baby... but I’d sure love a 440. You always want more than you have 🤣

[@jayjohnson4843]

I have a 440 Six Pack. With a Pistol Grip 4 Speed. And a Dana Rear end. & a 1969 Road Runner 426 Hemi with a Pistol Grib 4 speed and Dana Rear End. I'm selling both. Both have less then 98,000 miles. Selling both for $18,000.00. Will Ship anywhere in the USA FOR FREE

[@imaniwilliams9151]

16:59 that’s B5 Blue for you. I painted my 71 SE B5, and blotches everywhere. It’s just a hard color to get to lay down.

[@jayjohnson4843]

Its called. You do not know how to paint. Give it up

[@perrybrown7447]

Nothing beats the buyer's first few reaction to the roadrunner

[@albailey4307]

The engine was a nice addition to this machine 👌

[@jlpolcat13]

Awesome rebuild on the Road Runner loved the blue solid paint job and the wheels really sets the build back to the day of factory birth. Really a beautiful job. SEMPER FIDELIS

[@davidwood1923]

GEEZ!... She's a Really Beautiful Machine. The Right Parts and the Right People. Thanks for Sharing

[@johnallen2771]

Yeah, I'm one of those "hardcore" Mopar fans. I've had a couple of old Dodges and Plymouths over the last 55 years or so. We routinely beat supposedly fast Camaros and Mustangs. That '69 Charger was a nice car and I like this Roadrunner. I liked the '68 Satellite with the 426. That was a fast car. I would like to own a GTX.

[@Anuskasv0]

They should give Ron his own show, most knowledgeable guy in the series.

[@funtyes1970]

i seen Ron on grave yard cars few times to..

[@c3dweston]

Ron has his own shop

[@doacarnage]

Ron is also a ripoff and doesnt stand behind his products.

[@jayjohnson9128]

No he is not. Its a fucking episode script he reads. Its a TV Show. Nothing more, he does not know shit about cars

[@jayjohnson9128]

@@c3dweston oh really. Hummmm. Prove that statement. I've goggled it. There is no such person. He's as with this TV show. All bull shit fakes

[@davessparetime83]

This was a 1968 and that sold it as a 1969. Fenders, rear quarters, tail lights, doors were all 1968. Cute that they put a 1969 front Grille in though.

[@w41duvernay]

Once the new trunk floor was welded in, I would have coated the whole floor with POR 15 to make sure it didn't rerust again.

[@c3dweston]

I'm sure they did just not on camera

I wish that "Wrecks to Riches" was still in production. Every car build is a learning experience without the reality show production stunts that get in the way on so many reality car shows on Motor Trend and Discovery.

[@cliffniiranen1044]

Most people miss what they are doing on here. Great point.

[@jayjohnson4843]

Over Haulin Was Tbe Best. This comes down to 99 in my books. Over Haulin never had the Bull Shit Drama this Show Had. No one Blamed anyone if parts were hard to find. Chip would just make the parts if need to.

[@Scrapla1]

Ron was recently on the show Graveyard Cars and the guy is still making bad ass MOPAR parts

[@tomnekuda3818]

I had a '70 Roadrunner.....wish I'd never sold it. This car is for a rich primadonna who doesn't even change his own oil. I've been maintaining, building, modifying and racing for 70 years. With a 440 and 3 dueces, I found that it was better on the street than the 426 Hemi Hemis are wonderful race engines but difficult to tune for the street with original carbs/linkage. I used to tune multiple carb engines on Ford, Mopar, Chevy, Jaguar, etd.....all the carbs American and Webers, Del Ortos, SU's , you name it. Yup, I'd love to have the RR but would go to well-managed fuel injection system...as long as we're obviously not doing original here.

[@albailey4307]

This car came out beautiful nice job guys 👌

I just dont get the PAINT IT BEFORE ITS READY. Grinding and welding on a fresh paint job. Never mock anything up before paint. Well I guess thats why they have to redo stuff. I wont do a rush job at my shop.

[@JohnyTopaz]

mam362 lol - if you watch all these shows carefully, they don't follow build chronology. It's all just pieced together to make a good reality show! They are fun to watch, though!

[@davidtrobaugh9798]

Sweet Car. I had three 68 one Road Runner. 383 4 speed. But This is the Bad Ass. Hemi.

[@pacovl46]

I can’t believe they cheaped out on the paint. Lots of parts weren’t properly painted on the inside, like the fenders and the doors, but then they want at least 65 large ones for that?! Ridiculous!

[@DonnieRayRicks]

It's not a 69, but a 68 body with 69 grille. It's not a big thin; unless you're talking to a Mopar fanatic. I could be in that class

[@ramjet7470]

And for a 69 car those are damned sure 68 tail lights.

[@cmscms123456]

Luckily they sold the car to a know nothing rich guy, with more money than brains.

+Marto Rambo Up until like 10 or so years ago. A passenger door mirror was an option...

[@thegreatwhitenorth8754]

Back then, the law required a mirror on the driver side only.. Passenger side mirrors were a factory option. Meaning back then, at the dealership when you ordered t your car, if you didnt check the box that said 'passenger mirror' when your car showed up, it wouldnt have one..

I wonder why shows like this always refer to Dodges as "Dodges"....but when it's a PLYMOUTH. they NEVER use the "Plymouth" name ...only Mopar...like the "Plymouth" name is a bad word, or something....(even though they're BOTH Mopars, the DODGE name seems to get more respect...especially when there was once a time that PLYMOUTH OUTSOLD DODGE each and EVERY year !!!)

[@breedogg60]

Are they sure this is a 69 because it’s got 68 tail lights

[@captainmorgan1107]

This show is bullshit. They never say the actual year of the build car after referring to the '69 they had years ago and hinting at it being '69 throughout the video. They don't show the year in the ebay auction either. Although the tail lights are missing from the beginning, Mopar fans would instantly notice it's a '68 from the round marker lights in the quarters and fenders. They also don't show an RM in the vin # designating a true Roadrunner, probably because it's a tribute car made from a Satellite or a Belvedere, screwing the buyer who supposedly paid $76,000 for it.

[@DOCZLA1969]

it's a 68 sport sattelite not a rr a sport sattelite was a water downed gtx
