I think most of us have 68-69 and 70's. But we like all runner's buddy. I know where their is a 73 for sale but it is really rough shape think it has the 360 motor in it and automatic. The guy is asking 2600 for it but it is really bad need's a lot of work and part's. Like your runner nice looking car. Have fun with it and enjoy. Russ.

This started out as a 1969 only site since it was opened up to all years not many have come on board so not a good place for a head count.

I see a lot more 68-69-and 70 year runners coming up for sale. Many are really rough though. That 68 on E bay is wow a money burner.

Glad you guys let me here, I enjoy all mopars.
But I especially enjoy Roadrunners and the history they share.

I always wanted a BB 4 speed RR, but I fell in love with my 340 4 speed car

Yes, my first car was a 72 satellite. Same thing with me, I fell in love with that body style.

Thing is really wanted a runner when younger but ended up with a charger and it was a grate car. That was my first mopar back in the day. That little 318 would really go. Those small block's could wind up good and the gearing was spot on with an slap stick automatic trans. All of us are keeping these mopars alive is a grate thing.

My first Mopar was a 57 Plymouth Furry with a monster engine. Had it for a short time toward the end of high school, then traded it for a motor cycle just prior to going into the Army (then on to Vietnam for two tours). My second Mopar was a 58 Plymouth Furry purchased in late 1968 as a "go to work only" car. It was a piece of junk and barely ran, but I only paid $75 for it and ended up trading it for fully built 324 Olds engine that ended up in a 50 Chevy race car. My third Mopar was a 1969 Ivy Green Road Runner post-car, 383, 4-speed purchased brand new in December 1968. Sold it when the gas prices shot up and insurance cost also went up, and just couldn't afford to keep it. My final Mopar is my current 1969 Ivy Green Road Runner purchased in May 2015 and just now in the final phase of completion. It is drivable and looks done, but there are still a few bugs to take care of. This Road Runner will replace my current daily driver and will be the last car I will own (I'm 75 with health issues) so I'm just going to play it by ear as far as how much time I have left to drive... hopefully long enough to thoroughly enjoy the car.
Wow, what a post. I hope you can drive that bird for many wears. You most definitely have earned it, from Big Mo.
