    Man it is just wrong having a Roadrunner and not being able to hear that signature BEEP-BEEP horn. And since I'm such a fan I think all stick shift Mopars should be of the pistol grip variety lol

    Great review Nick, as always! This Roadrunner needs a professional paint job and Kooks long tubes, but besides that, it is badass.

    A Butterscotch 69 Post Roadrunner with a 4 speed… not too mention the Magnum 500’s are the perfect choice… classic written all over it !
    Undercarriage shot wasn’t very good this time with the camera being so far away from the light but it looked pretty solid, alittle leaky but 99% are.. 👍🏼

    Problem with the hard start is the Ethenol fuel boils in the carb turns to vapor and disappears. So when you go to start it the carb has to fill up with fuel again!l

    I love Road Runners. This one has a fair amount of filler in it, but for a matching numbers car, it's worth putting in new sheetmetal. If those buckets are original, that's a rare option; most of them had the standard bench seat. I see the original owner sprang for the 4 speed (base trans was a 3 speed). The Road Wheels this car has were also optional. Sounds very healthy too

    For the 1st thing that I see, she needs a good tune up and lets go on from here. The red strip tires that came from 1963 on and they were called Perrelis and they were the 1stt radials tires that was put on high preformist cars in the day. For she still needs some love at 55 years of age. For she has seen the test of time and i I love this old Runner and she is something to be had in todays world.

    Car has challenger buckets in it. Looks like it was a bench seat car. Needs a lot of body work looks like a lot of filler. To me probably a 25000 car but it's cool.
