Savage Hemi Road Runner - Nick Sweats The Small Stuff

[@nicholasdonvito1703]

Looking at all these great cars, they make me want to cry and miss the old days where I could see these cars in my driveway!!! Nick, thanks for brining me back to the old days where everyone had a great car! Wow, that must be in heaven. Now if they just had a show on old big bikes and choppers!!!

[@charger19691]

Nick's knowledge and level of expertise on classic mopars is absolutely amazing. That's why he's The Godfather.

[@markc7367]

Nick has his doctorate in Mopar.... an incredible wealth of knowledge!!! Just like my now deceased friends...i mention to honour them...Rejon and Real Phaneauf. 2 brothers that died far too young but their 69 340 Dart and 70 6 pack 440 Challenger were always appreciated in our little Canadian town in the 70s!

[@matthewwisenbaugh3883]

I'm a Chevy man born and raised but its nice to see the old molars love it thanks Nick....

[@metalmopars]

Yeah he has lot's a nice Molars there.

[@stevenpine1939]

"Not even the Graveyard does it like this!" I LOVE IT!!!

[@niceguy2171]

When we were young a guy in the neighborhood worked for a Chrysler/Plymouth dealership in a nearby town, and he ordered the 1970 Road Runner decked out like that one, complete with the air grabber and we always stopped what were were doing and stared as that car drove by..still amazing, and one of the nicest vehicles I have ever seen, and that 1 at your place is a beauty! Glad to see you back on the Challenger too!

[@70stunes71]

I owned a '70 440 six pack 4speed GTX with the same air grabber fresh air . 2nd & 3rd gear shifts @ 6,000 rpm....brutal for the day . Most Hemi owners I would believe, would be pretty surprised at how the 440 and tripower setup ran. That Hemi Roadrunner is absolutely gorgeous and reminded me of my own vehicle

[@nickpanaritis4122]

Craig. 440 six pack, yes indeed was a brutal engine.

[@eddiejames9769]

Hi Nick I think this Road runner is one i owned and restored in appx 2006. If the vin is 184450 this was my car. It was originally a 383 ,B5 blue .. I put the Vitamin C on it. I did ALL the work, Paint, Interior and I built the Hemi.. It is a 472 not a 426. I stroked it.. It has 12to 1 compression with Diamond pistons and a Callies crank.. Took me 2 years to restore it.. Thanks for the videos Nick!!!

[@ericball6000]

Dr.Nick,that 1970 hemi roadrunner is one of the best mopar's that you have ever let us see,I would be proud to own that car, thanx for the show.

[@NicksGarage]

Thanks for watching, Eric.

[@owatajrkiam]

@@NicksGarage This sure looks like my old buddies RR. 1970 Hemi 4 spd 4:10 geared hemi orange hdtp. which there were only 75 made and i hear about 30 were 4spds. He got it for a Graduation gift from his dad in 70' and drove it from Toronto to McKenzie BC and last time i saw the car was in Prince George BC but i heard the car made it back out east.. He had a wiring fire in the engine compartment and had a hard time finding the HEMI insignia with the turn signals on the hood. Do you know if this is a Canadian Import car as i did some research as it looks like there were only 3 Hemi orange cars made from what i gather. It would sure be a coincidence. Does your customer know the history of the car?

[@mikep4823]

Thing is some people have been at it just as long as you have Nick. But they do not have the passion for it as much as you do. Its when we take pride in something that we apply good skill and get it done right like what you do at your shop.

[@ttrack9089]

That coyote duster(Road Runner) is DAZZLING!!! Nick, what beautiful machinery you have come through your door. Best shop on earth!!!

[@robertevans6481]

That road runner is awesome!!!! The color is spot on!

[@josephf593]

The details are in the small stuff, beautiful road runner!

[@NicksGarage]

It’s all about the details.

[@johnmilner7603]

I remember them all when new when I was in high school. I opted for the Z/28's. In '74 I drove a 68 Z/28 to College, a 71 in '75, then new ones in 77, 78 and 80, then a 1970 Z28 in '81 which I still own today. All were 4 speeds. My fav Mopar is the 70 Challenger and Cuda without the rear spoiler.

[@terryogletree2128]

Man that thing is SUWEET !!!

[@craigkosters9852]

Ill never forget the first time I saw an Orange Super Bee or Road Runner, I was on my Bicycle up the street and saw my friends neighbor go by in one with stock wheels, I didn’t like it with skinny tires and hub caps, but the next day he went by it was jacked up with Cragers and wide tires. Then it was cool 😎 Jude Jordon

[@paulehlers2225]

Man-O-Man, that roadrunner is exceptionally nice!!! Milestone was reached in this one with the Challenger officially becoming a roller. Great video, Keep'em coming!

[@charleslyonsbarrowcloughii7562]

That Hemi Road Runner is the "Car of Cars"

[@rogermarshall8991]

The HEMI Road Runner GTX & the early Belvedere GTX. Were the top of the line. Still a B- body but more options.

[@lovethesmellofracefuelinth7374]

The small stuff and being detail oriented, is what separates the good from bad and Nick definitely brings the goods. I've been around Chrysler products since owning my first car, which was a 68 charger and the beginning of my Mopar addiction. But don't know all of the details like he does, and is really good at it. Kinda like Mark Worman of GYC, but without the freakiness LOL. Although it's not what I've done for a living, and is more of a hobby. My third Mopar was a 70 RR, but it was just a bare bones 383 & 727 and unfortunately not a hemi car. Definitely the working man's machine back in its day though, and still cool

[@johncaballero8013]

A 426 Hemi roadrunner has always been my dream car. What a gorgeous 1970! Love the grabber hood also, wonderful option. As always Nick you do an excellent job on everything you do. I have said it before and I will say it again, I wish you lived in my neck of the woods! I would bring all of my stuff to you and my performance issues would be solved. Look forward to visiting your shop again. Really enjoyed this video Nick! You friend John A. from Portland, Oregon.

[@Welcometofacsistube]

Nick’s videos are the only redeeming thing about Monday’s

[@nathanthomasstickney8123]

Amen

[@Bricklinsv1970]

My Dad had a 69 Roadrunner with a built 383. I was a kid and he would make me cry with that car. Of course Dad was laughing lol! RIP Dad!

[@blinkie1523]

Hey Nick the Roadrunner was an awesome ride for sure and so glad the owner wants to make it look period correct. Seems the flavour of the day for you in this episode but all good just the same bro. Nice to see the project getting or about to get some attention. Thanks mate once again.

[@acts2211]

An all original Hemi Roadrunner what the factory original interior oh my God. Call must be worth a fortune and it's absolutely stunning

[@theelectricyeti8622]

The Road Runner is stunning! Mopar everywhere you turn in the video. Nice to see Phil's Challenger again, beautiful car in it's own right. Thanks for sharing these awesome videos with the rest of the world. I'm thinking a trip to Nick's Garage is at the top of the bucket list now!

[@djordjecolic5818]

1970 Hemi 4 speed Roadrunner, what a sweet ride!!!!

[@c.s.s.1723]

Thank you for showing that Roadrunner.... f....ing sick! I so appreciate someone who is dedicated to the small details. It takes more patience /knowledge / dedication than most people have to make it happen.

[@tinkmarshino]

one of the gang got a brand new roadrunner when we all younger.. I think he paid 1800 for it.. then proceed to run the daylights out of it.. We had great fun with that old beast.. Sweet ride!. Dang Nick I just love this whole idea of videos from your garage.. I would love to just come out and hang with you lads.. thanks for the share, carry on and be safe..

[@ernestdougherty3162]

My favorite way to start Monday's watching Nick's garage working with beautiful old cars muscle cars and if you bring it to Nick's it's done the right way thanks for sharing

[@Metcraft2]

Love those roadrunners

[@jimjungle1397]

The 440 Six-Pack really helped horsepower. The 2 bbl flow rating is done at a different vacuum level than 4 bbl flow ratings, so they can't be directly compared. The 2 bbl carbs are rated at 500 cfm, front and rear and 350 cfm for the center carb. Using 4 bbl vacuum flow rating, all three carbs together work out to about 950 - 960 cfm. That's still a lot more than the Carter 4 bbl on the 440 Magnum. The 6-Pack intake and carbs are truly worth 40 hp over the 4 bbl carb. That's as good as it gets with the modern Edelbrock Performer RPM with an 850 carb and the 6-Pack was 50 years ago. Holley originally designed the 2 bbl carbs for the 1967 Corvette 427 tri-power engine for increased horsepower over the 1966 Corvette 427 855 4 bbl carb.

[@tomnekuda3818]

Nick, this was my car that I bought in late '69 except for the hemi.....why oh why did I trade it for a damn Chevy 4 years later. Sob......People never tired of seeing the air grabber come up and it did make a difference, especially on cooler days. I remember looking down the nose of it and it was a thrill that I never tired of. That miserable Nova was pumping oil at 30,000.....live and learn. Your Kowalski project is looking prime......whadda mean? Over budget....there is no budget on a dream. Keep the Faith, Nick.

[@chrismc.4437]

Ok Tom. Thanks

[@ronlind1757]

Nick, that is one gorgeous car! Absolutely beautiful.. I can really appreciate all of the attention to detail that was given to it. Those were the days... with those cars...

[@keithwilliams2766]

Beautiful Road Runner! 1970 is my favorite year for this model. It's so nice to see this rare example with the Hemi and the Air Grabber. Thanks for showing all the details of the Air Grabber system. I gained some knowledge.

Not very many across the u.s. That I would consider a total , complete restoration expert on vintage muscle cars , particularly mopars .. But NICKY , you are that guy that can do it all on em . There is a lot to be said about that . When I do find a 1972 roadrunner , or a cuda I want FULLY , and meticulously restored to original concours condition , I'm shipping it to you , and when it's done im spending a week hangin around visiting , maybe even wrenching a bit on cars . I hate messin with new cars . But you gimme a vintage 60s - early 70s MOPAR . Then I don't mind working on them , it's a pleasure and fun to do . Their more predictable to analyze and repair . Thanks for another great vid Nicky . I had a 70 roadrunner with a 383 in it , 4 speed . I blew that motor and put a 440 in it . Wish I had that car back now , in limelight green .

[@pontiacgrandprix733]

That’s one hell of a Road Runner, you were very gentle on her, I think if rubbed the rite way there would be a violent explosion of power, but the Maestro is gentle on the beast, for he can control his inhibitions towards it, Nick my friend keep em coming, we your loyal wait every week for more content

Another awesome episode from Nick's Garage , love this place !

[@mynameis9057]

Dr. Nick; where Chiltons goes if they have a question about originality! A few of my mechanic friends are the same way,they always got the mysterious fixes other garages couldn't repair. Another thing customers did was come to them initially, they'd give them a fair price to do the job properly, but they'd go elsewhere to save a few bucks. The other garage would sometimes screw up the job,and guess who they'd bring the car back to, to fix their screw up. So instead of just paying for the job to be done right in the first place, now they're paying extra to get it done right! You know, ya know? That bird is beautiful, but given a little t.l.c. from the master,and she'll be the Belle of the ball,thanks to Nick and Company. Quality and integrity. Thanks again guys! Great luck at the track!!!▪☆☆☆▪

Ahh, I got my Monday morning video from Nicks Garage. Love that Plymouth Hemi, was hoping for a nice big smokey burnout. I'll never figure out the way of the cheap minded folks who take a rare Chrysler product to a friend of a friend not once, but twice. Still not working right, and they watch your videos, now finally you have it to fix correctly (after you make a diagnosis of what the other guy did wrong) at my Dad's electric motor business he called these jobs basket cases. Haha. If I still had one of the 60's Chrysler products from my teenage years, I'd gladly make the trip from Arkansas to Canada and have the job done right the first time with Nick. Till next Monday, have a great week.

[@cardadbods2007]

Nick, great video the Kowalski project is coming along nicely. You got to make some more videos on that car so we can see how it goes together. Hey that orange Road Runner is really really nice, man I wish I had one of those!

Nice Roadrunner. I know someone who would really like that one. He has the match to it, a '71 Charger RT in Orange/Black with the air grabber. His has the Orange bumpers and am/fm indash radio with a cassette on the console that would allow recording from the radio.

[@steveminer8341]

I'm an old guy and a fan of the late 60's-early 70's muscle cars. I've owned and driven all of the brands. I'm guessing you never drove anything but Mopars back in the day. The torsion bar suspension was designed for straight on acceleration. Handling was not their forte. If you found yourself driving the car sideways, it's probably because you were out of control trying to catch the competition who was way ahead of you. There's a reason Mopar dumped that type of suspension long ago. lol

[@easygoing2479]
