  • This episode finds us back at Fusion Motor Company (Fusion Motors) shooting the true definition of a "restomod." This is a fully restored 1969 Plymouth Road Runner with some modifications that make it an incredibly fun driver. Tubular A arms, big disc brakes, 707 hp Hellcat power plant, 6 speed Tremec transmission and a few other things. It looks almost factory but is so much better than what it was in 1969 so sit back and enjoy the ride...

    Rallye Green for Plymouth and Chrysler) was only available for a limited production run in the spring of 1969. The seasonal availability of the color not only made it incredibly rare, but also earned it the nickname “Spring Green”. Even at the most prestigious of auto events, you’ll be lucky to find an original, real-deal “Spring Green” car.

    Street raced a 68 Roadrunner with a 383 and a four speed in the mid 70's. Put a Hurst shifter and a Hurst T handle on that car and then you will really be impressed! It weighed about 3/4 of a pound so it gave mass inertia and going from second to third, well, like punching someone in the face with heavy brass knuckles.

      I love these older cars. My dad had a 68 T-bird coupe with a short stroke 429...I totally enjoyed being pinned to the seat in it as a kid. We talk about it all the time, he's 78 and I'm 48. Wish I could find another one 😢

    I owned a 69 Road Runner 383 4spd, and I miss it when I see another one. 69 is my favorite yr. I do not like vinyl tops but when you put a HEMI in one I could fall for most of them. I love the whine and giddyup Thanks Shawn you made my day. I hope the clutch pedal is softer than my old 69, mine was like a very heavy spring and made a sound of its own. I let some folks drive it and would giggle if we had to set at a stop light too long lol. You could see their leg shaking anticipating the release. Fond memories.

    The pistol grip shifter, what made the Roadrunners so awesome. I looked at a 69 GTO at an estate sale. Had a pistol grip that was used in the 71 up b bodies. It was perfect for ergonomics in that GTO

      I do agree that pistol grips are where it’s at. However, only 70s and later would have had one. This 69 would had had a ball with the shift pattern on it.

    Cruise Control was available from the factory in 1969, my 383 automatic Sport Satellite had it. The option code was N88 if I remember correctly. It stands out in my brain because it was an uncommon option, especially in a Plymouth.
    That said, given the choice between an original, numbers matching Road Runner and this car, I'd go for the original. But then, a Pistol Grip in a '69 sticks out like a sore thumb to me since it wasn't available until the '70 model year.

      Make a wire mesh to cover the opening of the openings (I would also remove the passenger side interior headlight) and paint the mesh a silver white to blend in more with the headlights. BTW, I LOVE the white interior. My first car back in the 70’s was a 1970 Mach 1 with deluxe white interior.

    EF6 Bright Green/Rallye Green, In the spring of 1969, both Dodge and Plymouth debuted one of the first and arguably one of the rarest High Impact options. Only available on a limited production run, Dodge named it Bright Green, while at Plymouth, it was called Rallye Green. No matter which name it goes by, EF6 is a rare and desirable color.

    Perfect combination. At least for me cars from the 50/60/70s are way better looking then the toys the build today. Sure the tech you get in nowadays cars is more convenient, reliable and has more creature comfort.
    If you have the money you can have the best of both worlds. The way better styling of the old cars with the way better tech from the new ones.
