Dads 69 Roadrunner

[@markfaas6793]

Too cool! Brought my daughter home from the hospital 38 years ago in a 69 Road Runner. It’s still her favorite hod rod.

[@jcb1635]

She was spoiled from the get go!

[@sideskraft]

B5 looks great on the Roadrunner. My 69 Dart Swinger 340 is the same color with the white bumble bee stripe around the ass end. Dodge and Plymouth had some genius designers back then -- look how timeless they are even today. I'm sure it's being enjoyed to the fullest!

[@tex3578]

It sure is.

[@peterderose1718]

I had the same 69 in B5 blue , 383 auto coupe with that tape stripe ! Have only seen a couple other 69's with that color / stripe combo across this great country in many years !

[@jcb1635]

It's a great look!

[@reelguyoutdoors5536]

My second car was a 69 road runner; 383 automatic in Rallye green with matte black hood strips (that spilled over on the front fenders) and a black vinyl top. Wish I still had it.

[@jeffscott8323]

Best looking Plymouths ever. 68 thru 70 Roadrunners GTXs. Satilites. Etc.

[@rnkmode1876]

Ah Man, pure Muscle car Bliss. The way those engines sound are Music to my ears. My Dad got a 69 Roadrunner exactly like this as a gift for graduating High School!. Wish he still had it. This is my dream car. 🙏❤

[@ct87gn25]

Beautiful base model RR! Bench seat, auto on column, and 383 4 barrel. Probably cost about $2800 new. NICE car......

[@jimdavis4604]

I had a 69 Hemi RR, red with black matte airgrabber hood....a beast. I do miss it,

[@james44mag31]

Old Mopar man here. Had two 69s in my day and a 70 Super Bee! Miss that old big block sound!

[@jcb1635]

Kinda stirs the soul, don't it.

[@jimh2061]

Very nice car! Brings back a lot of memories when you would see a lot of old muscle cruising the streets on Saturday night!

[@TheWiserphil73]

my father had one just like this but it had bucket seats with console and a four speed. He had so many stories about that car. He bought it new right off the lot. Sure it was a magical experience for your dad.

[@patron40silver]

Two of my best buddies, when growing up, each had one of these. I can remember stuffing 10 or so people in the trunk and sneaking into the drive in. Still my all time favorite car.

[@steveng.willis618]

A friend I had in high school had one just like that in 1983. We rode to school together in it, it was a beautiful car that sounded great, and with the 440 it was fast!

[@fohponomalama5065]

I was in high school when all of these muscle cars came out from Plymouth, Dodge, Pontiac, Ford and Chevrolet. I doubt we’ll ever see so many timeless classic cars emerge simultaneously again!

[@tex3578]

I highly doubt it.

[@danbasta3677]

Those were the good old days, never will see them ever again.

[@StratBurst92]

I really miss those times. I had a 69 runner, the guys that we hung out with had a 71 Demon 340, 69 Camaro Z/28, 67 GTO, 70 Rally Nova, , 70 Superbee, 70 Boss 302 Mustang. One guy even built up a 63 Plymouth Fury. We thought that they would never stop making cars like that.The only new type car that I like is the Demon Challenger, pretty impressive with 808 horsepower from the factory.

[@tomwild8000]

I had a red rag top with 383/ 4spd in 1974, out of all the cars I had wish I had that one, super fun to drive .

[@tomriggle3217]

I have a 68 satellite that I cloned into a roadrunner convertible 4-speed big block teal white top white interior would probably get rid of it in the spring

My first car at 17 yrs old was a 69 Roadrunner, same color with the 383 ,slightly oversized cam,headers, fat tires ...I thought my dad was the MAN when he brought that car home for me!!

[@williammulhall3484]

Wow, that is my exact same story! Same car, same color, same age , same dad in 1974. It had 39,000 miles on it. Paid $1500 at a Dodge dealer. Still kicking myself for selling it a couple years later.

[@randytingle2416]

[@StratBurst92]

My 69 Roadrunner was the same color blue. 383 Automatic, had black hood stripes. Bought it from my cousin in 1973. He was the original owner. Car had 18,000 on it when he sold it to me.

[@jerrycourt9272]

I had one just like that one w/o the rally wheels .....hypo 383 auto on the floor and bucket seats. It was a very fast car and I still love it. Great memories.

[@michaelhiggins3382]

I have one exactly like it, same color, seafoam turquoise metallic. I love it, me and my Dad totally restored it in 1992-93 when I was 15yrs old. It's put up in the garage.

[@tex3578]

Is the paint B5 blue?

[@michaelhiggins3382]

No mine is Q5. It's Seafoam Turquoise Metallic..I'm color blind and I swear that blue looked green, lol.... but exactly the same except for the color.

[@randytingle2416]

My cousin came by one day in a brand new 69. It was orange with. 383 4 o t f. Took me and my dad for a ride. It was coolest car I had ever seen or ridden in I was 10 yrs old. Lol

[@M21L35]

Back-in-the-day, a co-worker had a '68 Hemi RR 2dr-post. He'd just picked it up @ a local dealer & absolutely HAD to show it off before our shift ended. Ashamedly, I can't recall if it had the A833 4-speed, or the A727 Torqueflite. I DO remember the hole shot he pulled outside our loading dock! It just axle-hopped its way up the street!.....needed shackles on those leaf springs like RIGHT NOW!

[@stacewikenson5476]

I used to have a red 69 Roadrunner Hypo 383 with a factory 4 speed. That car was so fast it scared me a few times. I would like to have it now. I watched one sale on Barrett for 140k and that was at least 15 years ago almost made me cry.

[@joeschmo9838]

I just aquired a '69 last week. My Uncle has terminal cancer and he wanted my brother and I to have his car. She has a lot of his own personal choices as far as body/interior and let alone engine. Car was an ultimate mess when my Uncle first got the car and did a full on restoartion of it and figured, it wasn't #'s matching when he got it why bother and built the car how he would've. All I can say is she goes like hell and handles like a new car would (as in 2019/2020 model). Cool having some of the original emblems and such (383 hood badge but she's rocking a bored out cammed 440

Love the double reflective stripe. Had a performance red one with those stripes. Had the black hood stripes and an air grabber. Was also a 4-speed. Car also came with GTX/Sport Satellite taillights from the factory. Amazing how they stuck whatever they had in them on the assembly line back then.

[@jcb1635]

Use what they had come Friday afternoon, right? We weren't so picky back in those days!

[@jackgtx440]

Jeff Barker Exactly! Everyone who saw the car always said “that cars got the wrong tail lights in it.” Like they would deduct points for a concourse restoration. Nope, actually if I took those out it would actually be less original!

[@jcb1635]

@@jackgtx440 Right??? Lots of "Experts" out there these days. This one has a dual snorkel air cleaner on it, and I have lost count of how many people tell me "the air cleaner is wrong"! I've seen pics of the same thing on other Road Runners also, so who exactly would ever know for sure what it left the factory with? All I know is that it's a kick ass car, and I'm lucky enough to own it! Best to you my friend!

[@jackgtx440]

Jeff Barker my old road runner also came factory with Plymouth Division full wheel covers. I never saw another one like that either. We know all the 68 road runners came with the unsilenced air cleaner and the 69 came either with unsilenced or air grabber but that doesn’t mean they weren’t out of unsilenced on the line and some went out with dual snorkels

[@dansager1608]

Had a fire engine red with black vinyl top I bought used in 1972 with 29,000 miles I paid 1900 dollars and thought that was a little expensive....within a year I flipped it 3 times at 90 mph and survived.. I've owned many fast muscle cars but this was the fastest stock car I ever owned..

[@theundaunted5481]

My uncle bought one of these before he went to Germany. When he came back he took me for a ride and being only 3 years old I bit his leather dashboard because I could taste it by smelling it, needing to confirm what I smell-tasted. I had Synesthesia as a child, I could also do complicated mathematical equations by a unique light sequence I see in my mind's eye.

I had a '69 Nova with a transplanted 454 engine once and pulled the engine, tore it down and completely rebuilt it except for the valve job, which I took to a local machine shop to be done, and did it all myself with a little help from my dad in about three days while on leave from the Navy.
