What a jewel frozen in time....Running now...W0W how cool is that....I drove one of these when it was new for about a year....Back in Tampa Fla...Kinda tell you how old l am now....Thanks man...Awesome stuff you do....!
Congratulations on yet another AMAZING find. I love RoadRunners, I know you can't get on this one anytime too soon but I'm looking forward to the next vid on this car. Don't sell this one Chris, it's your only Road Runner and unless you pay tens of thousands of dollars, you won't find a better one. Truly an amazing car - the way it roared back to life after 30 years....WOW!
Chris, there you are...haven't seen you in a bit ...I had a Road Runner just like this ..but mine was a B5 Blue ..great find !! And she purrs off the get go !! Glad to hear you got you're property if I had the $$ I would of bought you're " Grench " . Great seeing you again .
Repaint the black on the hood and tops of fenders. Get a paintless dent repair guy to straighten up the body and buff it. It is so original. What a find.
What an amazing find!! And the good running engine is a great bonus! The car seeemed very incomplete at first, but look at the complete front end! Congratulations!!
Good find. I was working for Chrysler Corp. when we were building those cars. As a powertrain engineer, it always makes me smile when I see one brought back from the grave.
That car has great bones. I'm a long time roadrunner guy and I do have a copper bronze 69 and a lime green 70. An awesome find.Both were 383 cars. The 70 is a 4 speed bench seat car. Love em both. 440's are the power now. Hope you enjoy the roadrunner.
Great find!!!!! Its amazing how many old Mopar's are still out there to be found! And not rusted,bent,twisted wrecks that I still restore and after the work,it was worth it,but to find a clean car like this is well golden lol!!! I always liked 383's I could get 25 mpg with them without opening up the 4bbl!!
Damn Chris, sure brings back memories. My third Mopar (being first was a 72 340 Duster, but first running car a 70 Road Runner (also an N96 car) was a 69 RM21N code Runner......only option it had was literally suregrip 3.23s...no power brakes, steering or even a radio! Fun car for a lil 120lb when wet teenager (this was around 2003-2004).
I was surprised that it wasn’t locked up with the carb being gone! Awesome find, would like to watch transformation if possible. Thanks for sharing your videos
That no only runs but it runs good. That is amazing I was not expecting it to even run.Guy must have parked because it had carb problems and didnt know how to fix it. Great find wow man. All the hardware for the grill too. No rust just amazing finding that. Road runner iconic car and I cannot wait for to see the next video.
Kool find. Miss my old mopars. Back in the 80s could pick em up for $200. They had no floors or 1/4 panels but a little elbow grease n some patch work.
Luck is a word many people use to describe those upbeat profitable events that make their way into our lives as we make our way as best we can. Fortune cant enter without misfortune to balance the books.. Our youtubers would have everyone believe that every new day is a bigger and a more amazing adventure than the last.its a simple matter of editing out the boring and disappointing crap.
He is actually tame on his street lol...I used to peel out etc..I lived in a nice upper end neighborhood lol...I had 1 female who used to yell at me lol and 1 guy who calmly ,very calmly (probably scared as I am tall,muscular and was a fighter then did amateur boxing then) he talked politely to me and that's when I settled down..Yelling made me do it worse lol... I now live on acreage!! I had people who were fine with it,so it all depends...I didn't rev my engines much or do brake stands but left a 240 foot black mark form my 440 Chrysler 300,all stock(besides mufflers,duel plane intake,carb wasnt even the high performance magnum or tnt version the 350 hp probably 80 more at least with intake/carb/distributor and I found headers for it.original used to blow the doors off 5.0 Mustang 5 speed with that car! Was my daily driver,had a 73 Cuda 451 (400 stroker)4 speed and 4.56 gears car ran 10's back then street tires 275 60 series,engine wasn't really built 540 horse big cam I wanted it to rumble!!! We put a milder cam and did the heads she ran 10.0's I redid the bod exact 71 clone(I did that to my 72-74 Cuda-Barracuda's,sorrry guys) and my 68 Charger RT I owned for years..The Cuda would shake the windows of houses 2 doors down!!! lol,I want those days back,mainly because I was younger,single,females all the time and raced all the time...Drugs and Booze were good too lol!!! What the heck did I write,sorry for the blog!!!
Honestly I got a little teary eyed when I seen that air cleaner top . I still have my first car a 68 RR setting behind my shop . Shes been setting almost 2 long . This video has me thinking tho . I'm semi retired at 47 from owning a small paint and bodyshop 30plus years . Health reasons have slowed me down. I think I have 1more hotrod build in me . Thanks for sharing.
Time waits for no one, get it on, get that Road Runner off the blocks and from under the tarp. It wouldn't matter if you hadn't kept it for so long, Get 'er done!!!
Nice find Chris, I love it! Can't wait to see it in driving condition. So far I think this is my second favorite car behind Patina. We could use an update on Patina by the way brother.
Dam, most guys would have figured ahh the motors shot and just pulled it. That really sounded Good. Priming it and the extra oil was a big help I'm sure. Good find and a Great job.
Off the road since '89. Good times back then, riding dirtbikes and huge parties in the woods and rippin donuts in cars. Ive lived a lifetime and that car has been sitting since then.
Ahhhh. Hearing that stock gear-reduction starter crank that 383 into life is music to my ears! Not to mention the fact that the engine sounds strong & healthy. It will make one hell of a daily driver for sure!
A bit of a long winded post but I have some shit to tell you. The thing is this, that 383 has probably had a hard life. It would be very nice to pull a main cap and check out the bearings, but I'll tell you a little story of what happened to me that has more than a passing resemblance to this 383. Years ago, I bought a good runner 2bbl 383 which I heard running. My vision was to put a 4bbl and some headers etc but when I got it home the bores were badly worn. The bore condition looked fine but the lip at the top on the thrust side indicated the motor needed a rebore. The big end bearings were at the end of their useful life as the copper backing material was just beginning to become visible. The motor was dead silent like this too when I ran it. I just wanted to put steel shim head gaskets back on it, to get the comp back to where the factory had it and this is why I took the heads off. I put a set of big ends and mains in it, replaced the rod bolts too but I did take the crank out of it (the motor was a good runner remember). I put a new camshaft in it and the cheapest double row chain I could find. A couple of exhaust valves were slightly burned so the heads got patched. I also put a set of single valve springs with dampers and reused the fairly worn out rocker arms. The shafts were worn too. It was just okay. It went into a Dart so of course it went well but when you revved it up it blew the PCV out of the rocker cover and the smoking got worse, then it would be alright if you didn't thrash it for awhile. What's the point of having a 383 dart and not revving it up? Not much point, so naturally I couldn't help myself and would rev it to 6500 a couple of times and the smoking would start over. Eventually (within a year) when I revved it up all the oil got stuck in the top of the motor due to the excessive blow by and the oil pressure light came on and the lifters started rattling and it ran a cam lobe. Should've used that money to fix it properly. That's my advice to you. Take it or leave it lol. To potentially save you from my fate, if this were my 383 I'd do the job on the motor. Just some good but cost effective hyperutectic pistons, resize the rods with new bolts, a new front balancer, drill the block for 1/2" oil pump pickup and use a new stock pump with fully grooved mains. Run a windage tray. If it has 906 heads on it keep them under the bench and run some smog heads - they're excellent and a bit better than the 906s (despite what people say - if you want proof I'll send you 3 links to extensive flow bench testing testing of 915, 906 vs smog heads by steve dulcich). That way you can keep the original heads if you ever want to restore the car. Machine the setup for the compression you want with steel shim gaskets in the .018" thou thickness range, that way if it rattles then you can put some thick composite gaskets on it to lower the comp .5:1. It is a good street tuning aid that tip. Being a 4sp I'd put adjustable rocker arms in it and run a flat tappet solid lifter camshaft with matching springs. I say this because as I'm sure you know 383s love to rev and never seem to be able to fulfill their high rpm potential because of the idiot hydraulic lifter camshaft in them. They are just such a fun engine, why not rev the bejesus out of them in a survivor car like you have? As you probably know all 383s had forged cranks in them so they're usually adequate for 7000rpm and 4-450hp. Re the rockers that 440 joint has them and they are reasonably priced. If you want some proper rockers, Summit has nodular iron (like 273 LA's and Max Wedge had) though they are starting to get expensive but still under $1000 for everything. They make them in standard offset and Max Wedge offset (we want the standard offset). They are a bit of an investment but will serve you for many years and many rebuilds in any B or RB engine. You won't get that from the 440 source roller rockers. As a matter of interest, these days they even make an iron 4.5" bore low deck block and while it isn't exactly cheap it is so much better than the already excellent 383 block. They have the mains cross bolted like a Hemi but with 2 extra cross bolted caps - so all 5, and the oil system is priority, ie it goes to the mains bearings first. With the 383 stroke and a 4.5' bore they come out at about well 426ish cubes. I've often thought of building an 8000rpm street motor with this new big bore block. I think they're in the $4k range. So long as you don't ventilate it, it will still be around in about 1000 years I reckon. Stage VI B/RB Wedge heads flow almost as much air as a Hemi head (around 350cfm @ .575" lift) and on a B engine are designed to fit an RB intake (even an RB cross ram), since they have raised intake ports. Pretty cool eh?
Looks like good solid body what did you give for her i paid 800.00 for the one i had back in 79 off a used car lot fun car 383 4speed 2door post first owner got rid of the air grabber and put hi rise intake with 625 Carter comp and headers
Nice. Its a sweet Runner. I had a 68 383 4 Speed it was sweet. Back In 1974.when I. Was 17. Maybe someday I'll get another one. If I had the money. I would bie Yours if you would sell it. That's a really nice Car I would say my Self. A lot you can do with it.
Cool site man!! I love the old and forgotten muscle too!!! Love seeing new life in a forgotten unwanted muscle car . Today's cars have zero effect on me like the cars are grandparents and parents owned. I always liked going with my Dad and ordering a new car and actually checking off the boxes to the options you desired then you busted the guys balls for so much off and a full tank of gas and floor mats . Ya good times . Keep finding those cherries.
WOW Chris, just love this video And The Car, its amazing it running after all these years ,I have watch this video many times just love it and love this car, I can feel your Excitement can't wait to see it on the road all the best man
Wow what an incredible fine I don't think I've ever seen a charger or Roadrunner Challenger or Cuda in that good of condition did have been kept outside
Hell yeh!!! Amazing!!! What a sound!!! Love ir!!! Lucky to find out this yellow golden piece!! Son't change him to much!! The patina, the rustina, the yellowtina and whatever are the coolestina!!! Bravo!! He is Alive!!!
Name It "CD" Coyote Duster - BEEP! BEEP! LOL I had a yellow 1970 Charger RT, 440 hp2, 6pack, hemi trans, dana rear, pistol grip and RT Spoilers on the doors, I Loved It! Wish I still had it. Maybe you'll find it one day! I raced a Road Runner one Saturday night, he named it scullduggery, wow what a name that was! Take Care It was awesome having my initials on it.
Bought one brand new when I came home from Vietnam. Paid $2,750 cash for it...it was orange/black with the 383, 727 auto trans, 3.55 rear axle, bench seat, rubber floors, and painted steelies with dog dish caps. Man I miss that car. I wish I knew then what I know now.
That's awesome that you got it running. But I think I would have had an oil pressure gauge hooked up to it before I started it, especially if I was going to do those wide open throttle revs you were doing.
Oh yeah!!!! Whatta great find. Awesomeness at its best. Those front end parts in the trunk saved you some time and coin. Love the D slots on it. What year and how many miles?
The Road Runner’s #1 in my book. Great find. I’m sure you’ll have some good time with it. Need more young guys like you in the hobby.
That car is sweet...I've wanted a Roadrunner myself....can't wait to see the progress on this one...great find
What a jewel frozen in time....Running now...W0W how cool is that....I drove one of these when it was new for about a year....Back in Tampa Fla...Kinda tell you how old l am now....Thanks man...Awesome stuff you do....!

I'll betcha he DID pay a couple ten thousands! :p 15K at least.
Chris, there you are...haven't seen you in a bit ...I had a Road Runner just like this ..but mine was a B5 Blue ..great find !! And she purrs off the get go !! Glad to hear you got you're property if I had the $$ I would of bought you're " Grench " . Great seeing you again .
I am blown away by how little rust there is on it. Very cool.
California car. ;-)
Repaint the black on the hood and tops of fenders. Get a paintless dent repair guy to straighten up the body and buff it. It is so original. What a find.
He is the paintless dent repair guy. Watch the videos of the blue Charger he calls Patina. Cool stuff.
That Car is Freaking Awesome & so is that Color. Congratulations on your find.
"Old-Yellar"
I've always loved the lines of the 68-70 Roadrunners. I'm green with envy. Amazing how it fires right up after 30 years.
What an amazing find!! And the good running engine is a great bonus! The car seeemed very incomplete at first, but look at the complete front end! Congratulations!!
Good find. I was working for Chrysler Corp. when we were building those cars. As a powertrain engineer, it always makes me smile when I see one brought back from the grave.
That car has great bones. I'm a long time roadrunner guy and I do have a copper bronze 69 and a lime green 70. An awesome find.Both were 383 cars. The 70 is a 4 speed bench seat car. Love em both. 440's are the power now. Hope you enjoy the roadrunner.
That is a solid builder. Nice find!!
Great find!!!!! Its amazing how many old Mopar's are still out there to be found! And not rusted,bent,twisted wrecks that I still restore and after the work,it was worth it,but to find a clean car like this is well golden lol!!!
I always liked 383's I could get 25 mpg with them without opening up the 4bbl!!
Cool Runner. Nice to see you working on Plymouth. All the best from New Zealand. Look for to seeing it set up.
You're amazing brother.....I love seeing old muscle cars being saved and brought back to life........that road runner couldn't have a better home!
Awesome find Chris! Can't believe it runs and it sounds pretty good and doesn't look like its too far from being on the road again.
Damn Chris, sure brings back memories. My third Mopar (being first was a 72 340 Duster, but first running car a 70 Road Runner (also an N96 car) was a 69 RM21N code Runner......only option it had was literally suregrip 3.23s...no power brakes, steering or even a radio! Fun car for a lil 120lb when wet teenager (this was around 2003-2004).
Damn dude, you doubled the value when you threw on those mags!! Can't wait to see more!
I was surprised that it wasn’t locked up with the carb being gone! Awesome find, would like to watch transformation if possible. Thanks for sharing your videos
Awesome car great find. Fantastic to see a video, I’m so happy you found it and it’s actually really destined to be driven and not hidden.
That no only runs but it runs good. That is amazing I was not expecting it to even run.Guy must have parked because it had carb problems and didnt know how to fix it. Great find wow man. All the hardware for the grill too. No rust just amazing finding that. Road runner iconic car and I cannot wait for to see the next video.
I have not tired of seeing these old beauties roar to life and this one is truly fantastic! Well done friend-enjoy your new ride! Peace-out!
Excellent find Chis! Put a new set of plugs and wires on it and drive it!! The Roadrunner is begging to be driven!
Awesome video Chris, well done on the purchase,can't wait to see that bad boy on the road.
Awesome find Brother!!!! Can't wait to see you bring it back!
Man you sure can pick ‘em! What a find! Makes you wonder why it was parked for so long? Great find!
Love watching old Mopars come back to life. AWESOME vid. I hang out on Jeds channel. I'll be here alot more. Love the channel.
Chris..great find...my boyfriend was equally as lucky two years ago. He found a Scorch Red 383/727/Black Bench Bird that was as rust-free as yours
Awesome find, super clean body the floorboards we all wanted, killer car thanks for sharing, keep er ol school and stick with the slots
Chuck Whitson way to clean to have sat there 30 years
Amazing find. This could resell for Big bucks just cleaned up nice and put back together. Look forward to seeing the finished product.
Kool find. Miss my old mopars. Back in the 80s could pick em up for $200. They had no floors or 1/4 panels but a little elbow grease n some patch work.
Nice find! Can't wait to see you bring this one back to life
Awesome video dude! Just picked up an AVS2 for my Chevelle, great carb!
Nuthin but righteous brutha! Love the first start stuff after xxxxxx years.... Nice
'69 Road Runner...one of my favorite classics....I'm jealous.
Great to see this video come back up... awesome find man !
Chris, I don't know if you were born lucky, or just make your own, but man the cars you find!
Luck is a word many people use to describe those upbeat profitable events that make their way into our lives as we make our way as best we can. Fortune cant enter without misfortune to balance the books.. Our youtubers would have everyone believe that every new day is a bigger and a more amazing adventure than the last.its a simple matter of editing out the boring and disappointing crap.
Your neighbors must love you haha.
LMAO. Right??
He is actually tame on his street lol...I used to peel out etc..I lived in a nice upper end neighborhood lol...I had 1 female who used to yell at me lol and 1 guy who calmly ,very calmly (probably scared as I am tall,muscular and was a fighter then did amateur boxing then) he talked politely to me and that's when I settled down..Yelling made me do it worse lol...
I now live on acreage!! I had people who were fine with it,so it all depends...I didn't rev my engines much or do brake stands but left a 240 foot black mark form my 440 Chrysler 300,all stock(besides mufflers,duel plane intake,carb wasnt even the high performance magnum or tnt version the 350 hp probably 80 more at least with intake/carb/distributor and I found headers for it.original used to blow the doors off 5.0 Mustang 5 speed with that car!

Thinking same
I'd be glad to have him as a neighbor.
indemniman 162 I would 🔫 shoot the HOA President if she ever said one word about him!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Mr Mopar .
Man, you scored Big Time with this one
Damn Chris...!! What a find...! Cant wait to see what you do with it..!
Honestly I got a little teary eyed when I seen that air cleaner top . I still have my first car a 68 RR setting behind my shop . Shes been setting almost 2 long . This video has me thinking tho . I'm semi retired at 47 from owning a small paint and bodyshop 30plus years . Health reasons have slowed me down. I think I have 1more hotrod build in me . Thanks for sharing.
Good on ya mate rebuild it these things aren't just cars there a passion.
Time waits for no one, get it on, get that Road Runner off the blocks and from under the tarp. It wouldn't matter if you hadn't kept it for so long, Get 'er done!!!
Dang Chris........coolest car yet! Rock On!
Nice find Chris, I love it! Can't wait to see it in driving condition. So far I think this is my second favorite car behind Patina. We could use an update on Patina by the way brother.
That is a beautiful Road Runner . Honestly the Plymouth Road Runner was my favorite Mopar
Fan-frickin-tastic! So nice. Cant wait to see you work your magic on it.
You are the MAN!!! Fantastic score.
I have been waiting very patiently and finally,I can't wait to watch this,Thanks Chris
Woo Hooo!! Hell yesss!! I bet you'll be working around the clock to get to the time to spend wrenching on this beauty!
Dam, most guys would have figured ahh the motors shot and just pulled it. That really sounded Good. Priming it and the extra oil was a big help I'm sure. Good find and a Great job.
Probably my favorite car growing up other than a 69 GTX. Love it. Please save it.
Off the road since '89.
Good times back then, riding dirtbikes and huge parties in the woods and rippin donuts in cars.
Ive lived a lifetime and that car has been sitting since then.
Always loved bahama yellow/black stripe combos. In cudas it was Lemon Twist.....nice car sir.
I had one of these back in 76' when I was stationed at Ft. Ord in California. Was a great car! Called it the mean Green Machine.
I AM SO GLAD YOU SAVED THIS,THANK YOU👍❤

1969 was the best looking Roadrunner. I love everything about them.
Will the Yellow paint buff out? It looks good on the inside of the trunk lid.
Yes
Good fine Chris good Road Runner car
Looks like good solid body what did you give for her i paid 800.00 for the one i had back in 79 off a used car lot fun car 383 4speed 2door post first owner got rid of the air grabber and put hi rise intake with 625 Carter comp and headers
What a superb find! So cool and original. Unbelievable.
Hey man thanks for the video I really enjoyed it and yeah that's a beauty about the old cars you can't kill damn
Nice. Its a sweet Runner. I had a 68 383 4 Speed it was sweet. Back
In 1974.when I. Was 17. Maybe someday I'll get another one.
If I had the money. I would bie
Yours if you would sell it. That's
a really nice Car I would say my
Self. A lot you can do with it.
Great find im in love with the car.
Chris congrats on finding such an original car like that. you should that. Being a good desert like that it with that will last a long time.
Nice Roadrunner Chris!
Excellent. I could feel your happiness. What a great score.
That thing sounds great and looks amazing can't wait to see how it turns out.
Cool site man!! I love the old and forgotten muscle too!!! Love seeing new life in a forgotten unwanted muscle car . Today's cars have zero effect on me like the cars are grandparents and parents owned. I always liked going with my Dad and ordering a new car and actually checking off the boxes to the options you desired then you busted the guys balls for so much off and a full tank of gas and floor mats . Ya good times . Keep finding those cherries.
WOW Chris, just love this video And The Car, its amazing it running after all these years ,I have watch

@@rong4189 good one.
That's the same type wheels my dad had on his 68 charger r/t love the channel btw
You can use a hay bale or a stray bale as temporary seat. It would also match the colour of the car well. Greetings from Germany.
Great video again! Love your channel! Mopar or no car! Subscribed!
You amaze me with the cars that fall into your lap. How about a tour of your new property?

I had a yellow 1970 Charger RT, 440 hp2, 6pack, hemi trans, dana rear, pistol grip and RT Spoilers on the doors, I Loved It! Wish I still had it. Maybe you'll find it one day! I raced a Road Runner one Saturday night, he named it scullduggery, wow what a name that was! Take Care
It was awesome having my initials on it.

Subscribed. Loving the mopars!!! I have a 68 charger myself.
Wow that thing is in great shape
Bought one brand new when I came home from Vietnam. Paid $2,750 cash for it...it was orange/black with the 383, 727 auto trans, 3.55 rear axle, bench seat, rubber floors, and painted steelies with dog dish caps. Man I miss that car. I wish I knew then what I know now.
Dude it's about time to see a new posting . Dame the car looks good but god it going to take a lot of work and money to get it back on the road.
That's awesome that you got it running. But I think I would have had an oil pressure gauge hooked up to it before I started it, especially if I was going to do those wide open throttle revs you were doing.
Any updates on ths Roadrunner Chris? This car, more than any other one, is the one I'll be watching for.
very lucky find. I know people who would kill to find a car like that in that shape. Very nice. Wish I had your luck.
Slot mags are so bad ass looking any muscle car hot rod will look cool with them timeless wheels
RIGHT ON!
Love the color! Put some shine on the old beast and daily it! Hope there will be more videos but I know you’ve got other requirements to get done.
Again and again.. Big thumbs up!
That Car is So Clean! Very Solid! There Still Out There
My new favorite channel! So glad that you're saving these from rotting into oblivion. Was that an 8 3/4 rear end?
69 RoadRunner...You Bastard!!...my favorite MOPAR...haha
Edit: Ohyea..Congrats to the new property...well needed.
Oh yeah!!!! Whatta great find. Awesomeness at its best. Those front end parts in the trunk saved you some time and coin. Love the D slots on it. What year and how many miles?
G'day great video.

When you drive a certain type of car people come and chat..oh my neighbour has one these in a fied etc...and havig a youtube channel really helps too.
Jools Freeman bingo
Lu KN If it smells and looks staged it probably is
I'd probably call it 'Big Bird'. I wonder if that engine is numbers matching?
One badass b body. Glad you're the one who brought it back.
