Does anyone know this 69 Road Runner?

[BeepBeepRR]

Like the color but like the rest the tail stripe is ugly. Take that off then its ok.

 

[6PKRTSE]

Looks like a Counting Cars build to me. They always ruin their builds with their stank on it with some goofy stripe or graphics.

I remember seeing this "Super Bee" on FB several years ago... Probably the same guy that built this RR...

Yup, a Hemi Six Pack Buick Skylark. One year only. Very rare.

 

[Ray70Chrg]

It’s on eBay
https://www.ebay.ca/itm/234403926199?hash=item36939010b7:g:318AAOSwG-Jh-o89

And I also don’t like this car. Auto on the column ruins most for me unless it a 6 cylinder valiant.

Couldn't agree more. That's why I did this.

 

[gooser]

a chevy guy might have owned this car and didnt know any better

 

[Budnicks]

Yet you never see a Pontiac screaming chicken on the hood of a Camaro or Chebbie stereo stripes on a GS or a Goat. Why is it that the MoPar crowd are the only ones that don't seem to understand the separation between their own brands? Freakin' annoying...

I saw them on a couple of high-dollar Jeeps recently, sell...

Bandit edition BS

 

[Budnicks]

Lots of stuff not OE about it

it's a day 2 car, not in bad shape
aside from the mixing of brands & nothing factory anymore

they aren't a dime a dozen anymore

it's a dealer too, they get their 10%-25% off the sale too

I saw a few cars there a couple of years ago,
that weren't too bad,
a Dart GTS 383 4 speed
& another Dart GSS 440 real clean
& a really nice Demon
a really nice Camaro 68 396 RS vert...
most of the sales people are a-typical used car salesman
aside from the hight pressure sales part,
some nice cars to look at

 

[Paul_G]

I still have not made a call to the dealer. It is a column shift car, that is what is turning me off on it. The rest of the day 2 stuff is no big deal for me. I do not want another garage queen car with a perfect paint job. They are not fun, do nothing for me anymore. I like to drive and enjoy, make it the way I would have wanted it 45 years ago. Bang gears and roast tires, childish in my aging years? You bet!

Funny how many Dodge-inspired rump stripes you see on Plymouths. It's like they think that just because it's a MoPar you can cross-pollinate all that you want. Yet you never see a Pontiac screaming chicken on the hood of a Camaro or Chebbie stereo stripes on a GS or a Goat. Why is it that the MoPar crowd are the only ones that don't seem to understand the separation between their own brands? Freakin' annoying...

Actually... we do. Example, we know whats a six-pack vs. six-barrel, etc. Most times it's GM types, or just plain numbskulls that do these stupid things to these cars. All other issues aside, I'd be totally freakin' EMBARRASSED to drive that car in public with that idiot stripe.

 

[Paul_G]

And btw, I hope that rump stripe is removable, not painted on.

Even if it is removable, there could be ghost lines visible in the paint.

I believe many of us can relate.

 

[ACME A12]

Actually... we do.

If you had written "some of us do" I would be in complete agreement with your comment.

I think some of you commenting on my comment (incorrectly) interpreted my observation as some kind of general indictment of the MoPar community. It was not. As in every community there are informed members and not-so-informed members. But the number of Plymouths with rump stripes that I have seen over the years blows the mind...so to think that only chebbie guys do this to our beloved Plymouths prompts a suggestion of a perhaps few less hits on the old peace pipe...

The worst was when Danny was looking at a Duster that clearly said Plymouth right on it and he kept calling it a Dodge.
A guy that is a car "Expert". He musta watched too much of Al Bundy..

What's a day 2 car ? Never heard that description before.

 

[Paul_G]

That is in reference to buying a car brand new off the dealer's lot, and on the 2nd day you start making changes.

I think it's because you noted "the mopar crowd are the only ones".. it does appear as an indictment of the "whole". Sure, there are some not as "well-informed"... as there are in any segment. I believe "most of us do". Whaddya think ?

I would have to agree with "most".
