1970 Road Runner Superbird

The classic Road Runner is a high power, low budget priced muscle car with a lightweight body and strong engine. But what we are going to talk about are the similarities between the 1970 Road Runner and Super Bees.

A Few Similarities

The 1970 Road Runners and Super Bees both gained a new grille. The Plymouth grille was shared with Belvedere and was both moderately aggressive and neat. The more complex Super Bee front end had a twin-loop design. Whether due to the looks, changing times, or the cheaper-but-still-potent Plymouth Duster 340, sales of the Road Runner fell lower than they had been in 1968, to 43,404. The 70’s Road Runner saw a change in the hood design. The remote controlled Air Grabber hood was added, and with the push of a button, found in the passenger compartment, you could have yourself a scoop or a normal hood.

Dale Mathews wrote: “The blue 70 Road Runner was original white car and is the 1970 Pilot car, a Hemi, the first 1970 Road Runner made, and believed to be the car in the press release photo for the 1970 Road Runner as well as the car used in Rapid Transit advertisements in 1970. The wagon is a 1961 Plymouth bought from original 87-year-old owner in 2000 and is powered now by a 413 long ram.”

In the same year, the Plymouth Road Runner Superbird was introduced. It had a slippery shape, largely due to wind tunnel design. It was inevitable that when Dodge had developed their Charger Daytona for NASCAR speedways, that Plymouth would demand their own, for the same purpose. The Plymouth was somewhat more challenging due to the original shape of the car. The top speed of these cars, equipped with either a 440 or 426 Hemi engine, was to be over 150 mph and over 180 mph with minor modifications. Chrysler itself set a record of over 200 mph.

I Think He Forgot Something

I Think He Forgot Something So this is funny. But according to nwitimes.com , a 33-year-old suspect made his getaway after robbing a convenience store but didn't get far. The guy had robbed a LaCrosse gas station after he informed the store clerk he had a gun. The suspect, Sean Harris, made off with food, beverage items, and cigarettes… but no money! I guess the guy was super hungry since the report stated he had a blood alcohol level higher than the limit for legally operating a motor vehicle. Harris fled the gas station, with whatever he could carry, when an Indiana State Police trooper came upon the getaway car. Not in some crazy high-speed chase, or from using some awesome spy satellite that Vin Diesel uses in all his action films. NOPE! Harris’ vehicle ran out of gas. That’s right, he forgot to steal some fuel before making off with his goodies. The Indiana State Police trooper found his vehicle stopped along a two-lane highway. Harris is being held in jail without bail.

Looking for a Pre-Owned Pickup Truck?

Looking for a Pre-Owned Pickup Truck? Pickup trucks are both functional and fun to drive. Many people choose to own pickup trucks because they have the capacity to haul most things such as campers, travel trailers, other cars, horse and cattle trailers, just to name a few. They also offer space for hauling many different things in the bed. This is convenient because no one wants to put a bale of hay or a deer carcass inside the cab of a vehicle even if it does fit. Trucks not only offer functionality but are also just fun to drive. They are high off of the ground and can typically travel places other low vehicles cannot go. They are great for off-road driving. They are also suitable for what is a typical Texas country tradition, mudding. Who doesn’t want to find a good mud hole and bust some 180’s and sling mud everywhere? How Do You Choose A Pickup Truck For You? Not everyone wants a big, high off the ground pickup truck. Some people want a pickup truck that offers a spaciou
