Most automotive enthusiasts consider 1969 the peak of the muscle car era. This was the year that the manufacturers were heavily involved in building powerful cars for consumers. Gas and insurance was cheap, so the big three were building quick cars with catchy names, and selling them by the thousands. Chrysler was heavily involved in the production of muscle cars at the time, and with the introduction of the Plymouth Road Runner in 1968, they hit a home run. For the 1969 model year, the Chrysler execs finalized a deal with Warner Brothers, and the Road Runner was adorned with the iconic cartoon bird. The Road Runner’s styling, combined with low price and high performance, earned the model the coveted Car of the Year award from Motor Trend magazine in 1969. occurred in 1969, there are still plenty left today. Troy Ludford found this example sitting in plain view in Grande Cache, Alberta Canada. He knew of the car, because it had been stored in the same spot for some 15 years. Troy track

Most of us here own Road Runners and know the true history behind the car line. Why don't you post info about yourself and what mopars you own. Why you became a MOPAR enthusiast. What was your first mopar, etc?
