twostepn2001 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 The car song thread reminded me of this old ad for new '69 Roadrunners. Sure would be fun if you could back in time with a bag full of money and buy 4 or 5 for that price. 13 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oleman Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Most bang for the buck in America in 69. Family sized hot rod. I knew a family from Australia in 72 in California, first car they owned in the US was a 69 Roadrunner automatic 383. II have always liked Mopars, (before Benz and Fiat) in 2022 We still have a 73 Dart, my last (almost completed) hotrod project, .030 over 9.2 cr 440, 727 and other stuff. A compilation of many parts from various cars and years some from various Fords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirt_Floor_Poor Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Whenever I show my dad an old price on something, he always says that it was just as hard to come up with back then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dasnake Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Ordered one in dec '68. 4500.00, fair amount of options, but I stayed with the 383 and replaced the third with a dana 3.90, my only regret was not getting the elephant, but we were getting married in october so the money went towards life. Great car, got a picture of mom and I sitting in front of it the day we brought it home. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerFixEmUp Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 I had a 1969 Super Bee in the early 80's. when they could be bought cheap. Basically the same as a Road Runner and from what I heard and read about them they were more stripped down than a Road Runner. Mine originally had a 383 but had an earlier 440 in it. Stock engine.4 speed with 3.23 rear end. I was never really impressed with that 440. My brother had a 73 "Cuda 340 and I think it was faster. My car had no power steering or power brakes. just a heater and bucket seats. 150 MPH speedometer that saw 120 a few times. 😇 Sold it after about 5 years and bought a 1969 Z28. That was a fun car. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
65806 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Bought mine when I was 15 still got it at 57. Raised a lot of **** when I was young but now days I just take the neighbors dog for rides. She seems to like it. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Not very good photos but my car since 4/26/1976 when the original purchaser gave it to me when I got a driver's license. It was a present to himself when he came home from Vietnam in 1968. Still has original 340, 4 speed and 3.23 rear gears. All drum brakes and nothing power. 340K on the clock also with running only Quaker State 10W-30 motor oil all through the years. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also do, I bought it for 2500 when i was 13 and sold it for 9500 to put a down payment on a house, now the car is worth more than that house.

That Super Bee I paid $2000 for. Sold it a few years later for $3000. Imagine the value now. 4 hours ago, Dasnake said: I gotta ask, did you keep the Z? Nope. It was getting pretty rusty so I sold it and bought a pickup. Should have kept it like so many others. Have a 1971 Chevelle now, bought it in 1985 or thereabouts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
