1968 Plymouth Mid Size GTX Satellite Road Runner vs Ford Fairlane Dealer Promo Film

[@buck546]

Loved the Plymouth cars of the seventies. GTX, Roadrunner, Cuda, all hot beautiful powerful cars with some crazy beautiful paint jobs. I was working for minimum wage back then and couldn't afford anything new even at seventies prices. I was lucky enough to get a used 1970 Roadrunner in 1973. Loved it but unfortunately the gas shortage caused extremely high gas prices and I had to let it go in January 75 because I was going to get married and had to buy a house. To this day it was hands down my favorite car.

[@1967davethewave]

I was out driving my surf green 68 Roadrunner just today. Aww the good old days. I'm hanging on with both hands!!!!

[@dannyb9140]

Awesome, keep that beast between the lines.

[@CudaRebelsAutoModeling426]

Groovy promo and great video! I'll take the Plymouth please, because it makes me miss my uncle's Seafoam Turquoise '69 GTX, and the 440 it had gave it some real Mopar power!

👍

[@TheOneJPtv]

Torsion Bars and Leaf Springs are the soul of Mopars back in the days

[@jonthomsen7433]

I'm digging these old ads. And comparison

[@AnthonyEvelyn]

The Plymouth Satellite won me over.

[@65rivierags35]

Really like the 1968 GTX. The best looking midsize plymouth muscle car.

[@tomjefferson2024]

Mopar has The Best Advertising and Great Cars Too 👍

[@pmafterdark]

Had a 68' Satellite sedan just like that one. Wish I still had it.

[@plymouthdie-castreplicas]

Just B-body masterpiece! Only Plymouth makes it♥

[@CudaRebelsAutoModeling426]

You said it brother, Plymouth "makes it" and makes it right! 💪❤

[@FaithfulServant316]

I luv it! Especially the Hemi and the 440 6-pack

[@jamesthomas7977]

You do realize that the 440 6 barrel didn't come out until mid year 1969!

[@FaithfulServant316]

@@jamesthomas7977 Big deal, people put them in their cars all the time when they do a total restoration. STILL STANDS. 426 & 440 6PK Rule the streets BABY! get over yourself!

[@BrandonLeeBrown]

@@jamesthomas7977 Chrysler did make two 1968 440-6 barrel cars to study the camshaft wear for 12 months, before going into production in mid-1969. The two cars were one 68 GTX and one 68 Charger R/T. They had two Chrysler execs drive them everyday for 12 months.

[@AtZero138]

Poor little Carter BBD 2 barrel.. atop that many Mopar Cube's... I run one on my 318 Daily driver.. 68 Dart grandma special... Not a brut but runs super strong on my drive to work on the 22 freeway here in Orange county Ca.. cruising to 85mph plus.. easily hahaha dig these Slide Shows tech ones especially but the smoke filled rooms with these salesmen ones are fun

[@ccvair1967]

Had a 68 satellite with a 69 road runner drivetrain swapped in, was a fun ride!

[@ChadQuick270W]

I learned to drive in a 1966 Plymouth Belvedere. It had the Super Commando 383 V8 4bbl and would “**** and get” AM Radio and Factory a/c. I wonder how many of these 1968’s were actually sold with the 225ci in line six cylinder engine?

[@deepbludude4697]

I had one with a slanty in it, at the time 1975 I felt... well not masculine haha but id take that car right now. But the thing was rotting out then the firewall really rusted bad,

[@petestaint8312]

That does it! I'm going to the Plymouth dealership today. 😎

[@1983jblack]

Let me know when you find one, I'll be second in line

[@MisterMikeTexas]

Hmmm! For some reason, I can't locate my nearest Chrysler-Plymouth dealer on Google to go try out that Satellite.

[@Doobie1975]

Were there any videos of the Chrysler New Yorker competing with the Buick Electra, Oldsmobile Ninety Eight or Mercury Park Lane (later Marquis) during the 1960's and 1970's?

[@1983jblack]

Yep, it's poor quality but it has been on KZbin for years. It also compares Gran Fury with Impala and LTD for the 1976 MY

[@fairfaxcat1312]

Are there any videos breaking down the defensive roster of the 1947 University of Colorado football team? How about the starting offensive line and receivers on the 1952 Dallas Texans?

[@crashnburn3635]

68 426! 😍😍😍

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Great vid very cool!!!!!!! 👍👍

[@TheCarCrazyGuy]

Plymouth doesn’t have it over Ford for ‘22. Wait, there’s no Plymouth.

[@Santor-]

Im convinced, where do I get the 440 GTX wagon?

[@bradhampton6457]

My 1st vehicle was the twin to the Satellite. Dodge Coronet 500.

[@anthonymusumeci5455]

That's it Im going to Plymouth dealer right now

[@joserafaelgrangefuenmayor7744]

Me gustan

[@rightlanehog3151]

Will the Plymouth dealer give me a healthy discount if I order a sensible Satellite wagon and a Road Runner?

[@penguinsfan251]

When I was a little kid my ne t door neighbor worked for Chrysler at the Twinsburg, Ohio stamping plant. His wife drove a big, top.of the line Dodge. They got a new one every other year. My dad bought Fords. Before working for Chrysler. Lee Iacocca said that Chrysler products were engineered but stodgy. Let's face it, their build quality was always behind GM and Ford.

[@crabwalkarms7347]

Stodgy means dull. If something is dull and functional is it really bad. Not really

[@billjamison2877]

MoPar or No car!

[@ltsimpson6879]

It`s odd that they ignored the `68 Torino GT 390 4 bbl as a competitor to the GTX and Roadrunner.

[@BrandonLeeBrown]

Ford came out with the 428 CJ Torino Cobra in mid-1968, as an answer to the popular Road Runner. The 69 Judge was Pontiac's answer. The early 68 390 GT didn't offer Traction Loc, or many gear ratios, but the late 68 428 CJ did. Ford even sold a larger over the counter camshaft and forged pistons for the late 68 428 CJ. The 428 CJ with manual transmission got staggered rear shocks to help traction too. The 383 Road Runner got special manual transmission rear springs in 69, along with more gear ratios than 68 and in 69 real air scoops were an option.

[@davidallen5776]

Don't forget about the Chevelle!

[@21stcenturyfossil7]

So Plymouth "stops quicker"? How so? Have any performance numbers such as stopping distance from a given speed? Of course they did! Didn't mention that, though. Must have been an oversight.

[@Gunny426HemiPlymouth]

Hahaha this reminds me of a Ben Shapiro debate. Ford got destroyed with facts and logic. 😂

[@21stcenturyfossil7]

I wouldn't expect Ben Shapiro to know that cheap ass bonded shoes occasionally delaminated and required an emergency brake job. The repair might involve more cheap ass bonded brake shoes or spend a few bucks more and get some quality riveted shoes. Maybe Ben would know that if he's going to claim that a car stops better, he'd better bring up braking distances from given speeds rather than brake lining area. And, would it really be lost on Ben that the somewhat smaller Ford is going to be a little easier to park and drive in heavy traffic?

[@ricardo8891]

Just venting

[@adrianbalboa5353]

Whats a Plymouth

[@omcara1]

It's a town in New England. And fyi, it's pronounced Plye - Mouthe.

[@T.R.R.Jolkien]

Go try to buy both. Plymouth holds its value over Ford and Chevy.

[@merc-ni7hy]

i like how they bash ford anyway they can....yet skip over the fact that chrysler stole the idea of a 2 way tailgate from ford

[@21stcenturyfossil7]

I expect Ford had a bunch of patents on which Plymouth had to pay a licensing fee.

[@Santor-]

There was an even niftier tailgate that electrically lowered into the floor. Dont recall who made it, Chrysler perhaps.
