    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.

    That is not only mopar-perfection, but muscle car perfection. The stance, the color, the wheels and tires, the motor. Everything! Man, there's a lot of "need and want" there :P

    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.

      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 😢

  • @letsride2057
    @letsride2057 Год назад +5

    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 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.

    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.

      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.

    When I had my 69 RoadRunner back in the day when you would see 5 or 10 of them on the streets every day I was running Cragars at all 4 corners, then later around the mid 80s I took the Cragars off and put the black steel rims on it with the dog dish hubcaps like this but said Plymouth on them.

    I had 69' RoadRunner as my daily driver in the mid 70s until the late 80s. In the late 70s I had 2 vehicles so switched back and forth. No one complained about if I can or can not drive a vehicle all day or not.

  • @papawoody9597
    @papawoody9597 Год назад +3

    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.

  • @blueduster74

    This is where I’m going with my Duster. The over all look. Don’t think it’ll be a Hellcat though, a 392 in a little A-body should be the balance I’m looking for. I’m torn, I have black steelies on it now that I love but I’ve been considering Trans Am Engineering Superlites in a magnesium color. We’ll see. Finishing some projects on my old Dodge 4x4 for a Moab trip this October. Then I can turn to the Duster.

Hope the next owner restored it and took it to car shows like he planned. Hawaii car with no heater from the factory if I remember right. Hope he got his $1500 worth. 😂. I’m not a huge car guy so it was just fun to own it for a while. I’m not bitter.😢

    Every week I wait for this program, Shaun; I never know what you'll have on it but I know that it will be cool. Love everything about this Roadrunner and am presently asking myself why in hell I ever sold mine. Little things make the car.....subtle, like the pipes running clear of the back bumper. Hey, if you're getting rid of exhaust fumes; get rid of 'em! The dog dish hubcaps, white striping, white vinyl top all coordinate to make this car stand out in a way that is different and one of a kind. Keep the Faith, Buddy. Tom P.S. More Mopar, if you please.
