Had the same color combo on my 69 rag with 4 speed,plus blinkers on the top of the fenders,buckets seats like this one and carb air intake.
The ultimate cruiser! I love that it's a 'father & son' car, too. Thanks, Lou!

@@loucostabile 👍👍
Gotta love Road Runners !
Thanks Lou!
Hi Jeff, NICE ! :-) You're welcome, Lou
I forgot to mention, I love your comment at the end of the show about watching the channel on down days.
I’m currently not able to drive due to health issues and am working through some stuff. My Car Story with Lou is a stole for me.
Thanks for bringing us these classics and taking us along for the ride.
Lou, your friend Dave sure does have quite the collection. I wonder if he needs a volunteer to come over give those cars some exercise so they don't get 'carthritis'. I promise I'll eventually bring (some of) them back! Love the sound of that Road Runner! Another great video Lou. See you at Saratoga Springs!
Classic Muscle Car Exhaust, I agree that Dave has a nice collection. This is the last one from his collection. He might need some help with this many cars to keep them all running at top performance. I'll be flying out this afternoon, and ready for FUN tomorrow, Lou
Yes! It's Plymouth time! Jack Smith's masterpiece in action 👌
Hi Plymouth Die-Cast Replicas, Happy to share this Plymouth with you, Lou
I remember when the 1969 models were introduced. I was already afflicted with car fever! I have never seen a 1969 Road Runner convertible in person.
Hi Dave, Happy to read this car brings back memories of when the car was introduced :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Good Morning Lou ;
Thanks again for the walk down memory lane.
She's a beautiful example of days gone by.
Happy to walk with you down the memory lane :-) You're welcome PatrickSeanEarl.
Nice looking Road Runner! I've noticed that the Road Runner cars you've featured are all equipped with automatic transmissions. It sounds so healthy when it's idling. The yellow and matte black paint scheme looks more appropriate on a Dodge Super Bee than a Plymouth Road Runner. Just my opinion. Definitely a cool car Lou!
Hi Michael, Happy to read the details you notice :-) Thanks for viewing and sharing, Lou
¡Qué bien ve veía este Plymouth Road Runner 1969 en amarillo, junto con esas grandes franjas negras y líneas rojas del cofre! El vehículo tenía muchas insignias del "Correcaminos" por todos lados; incluída una muy particular en el volante. Además, ese motor rugía excelente (sin olvidarnos, obviamente, de su clásica bocina "beep, beep"). Para ser un auto musculoso, goza de una magnífica potencia, comodidad y un dócil manejo; como se pudo apreciar en el recorrido final. ¡Buen video, como siempre, Lou!
Hi Jaime, Happy to read the details you see. My pleasure sharing this car with you. Lou
What’s there not to love? Thx again Lou!
NICE! You're welcome David!
love that idle after the kick down.
Nice :-)
SUPER WOW 🤩 THANK YOU 🙏 for keeping this BEAUTIFUL car all ORIGINAL! Under the hood looks FABULOUS with the ORIGINAL Air Cleaner Assembly & Valve Covers!!! 👍😊😊
Hi bk14nyc, High praise :-) You're welcome, Lou
That exhaust note: [INHALE] [SIGH]! Beautiful music.
Just the way we like it :-)

1969 Plymouth Roadrunner.
This car by Plymouth would be introduced a year prior in 1968 and would last until 1970 (Gaining a new model/redesign in 1971 until 1973). Plymouth paid $50,000 dollars in 1968 ($438,375 today in 2023 dollars) to Warner Brothers to use their Roadrunner name on their car from the Roadrunner show starting in 1946. They also paid a few extra dollars to use the Roadrunner's "Meep Meep" horn featured many times throughout the show. The main engines were the 383 Cubic Inch "Super Commando" V8 (6.3 Litre V8) making 335 HP and 390 LB-FT of Torque, the 426 Hemi making 425 HP and 490 LB-FT of Torque, and the 440 Super Commando making 375 HP and 490 LB-FT of Torque. For 1969, the Roadrunner would get a "Four-Corners" type of Grille similar to other cars that had it (Such as the 1970 Ford Galaxie 500). For 1970, it would get a new front bumper with circular foglights and a more "sad-aggressive" type of front end. 1970 also introduced the Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird and its brother, the Dodge Charger Daytona.
The luxury version of the Plymouth Roadrunner would be the Plymouth GTX, which started in 1967 as a luxury version of the 1967 Plymouth Belvedere, with the previous luxury-performance variant being the Plymouth Satellite. The GTX added more luxury features to the interior, had a distinctive "GTX" badge in the middle of the front fascia's grille, and had two white stripes on each side along with the "GTX" reading for 1968-1971. They were also available with the same engines and same features as the Plymouth Roadrunner, albeit more expensive, costing around $3100 to $3500 from 1968-1970.
Hi Matthew, Thanks for sharing your knowledge and adding info to the Channel, Lou

Hi Sam, Happy to read you enjoy the sounds of this car :-) Lou

Hey big bro Lou! Oh man, Davey's big bird Roadrunner here is one very sweet ride. Question-Do my floppy sneakers have a chance to stay on my stocking feet with that EPIC rumble from the exhaust🤪😜?! WOW. Once he did a kick down, it settled into an amazing staccato of sound. Love these MOPARS, so much character. Thanks for the ride, Lou. :) JV Johnny ⚾
Hey JV Johnny, Happy to share "Big Bird" (that's a good one!) with you. My pleasure rumbling around and sharing with you. You're welcome, Lou
Evan though I am a Ford man, I am also a Plymouth fan. I like this car it is nice.
Hi Daniel, Happy to read you enjoy this car :-) Lou
Dave is a cool guy👍
I agree :-)
Good....
:-)
I see a new video from Lou, it's a Mopar, I hit the power disc brakes, and watch immediately❤
NICE stopping power Andy ! :-)
Lou. Here’s a little bit of info.
The matte black hood stripes and the red inserts. The red inserts meant the optional ram air. Which was a pretty good size induction system that mounted to the hood.
No ram air? The inserts were a solid metal plate painted black.
Ram air? It was a metal grill painted red. 🙂
