My all time favorite muscle cars. Both this and the A12 Super Bee 440 Six Pack. Pretty much just as quick as a 426 Hemi Roadrunner but alot cheaper and the 440 has much better street manners than the Hemi

I'm not getting enough big blocks and Vitamin C in my life, great video guys

My old man had one of these but his was the GTX version. His best 1/4 mile was 11.11 126mph on full slick. Stock it ran like 13’s if you where lucky. Basically it smoked the factory tires as soon as you touched the gas but man them Mohok slicks made her hook and book. Amazing what just proper traction out of the hole could do.

A12 - a mighty fine package. I like the new way (?) of presenting the subject car. Not just a short, back and forth, drive by, but also continuous view for some distance.

Excellent! The only thing you forgot to do was beep the horn ("meep meep") :-). Love that car.

One of baddest, sexiest cars ever made!

The Brothers Collection is amazing @3:30 that poor clutch

Zero thumbs down on this one, and rightly so! Regardless of your brand loyalty, as muscle car fans we should all appreciate purpose-built beauties like this offering from Mopar! You guys do an excellent job with the videos, but I miss seeing the '70 T/A on the intro, but I'm a little biased. :)Please keep them coming!

As a Boomer, gotta love the music & the muscle. It will never be that good again 💯 🤠

Think that clutch was smoking more than the tires. That being said it’s an awesome car

@Robert LaPointe You are confusing the max wedge cars with the sixpack cars. The maxwedges did have a cutout for the exhaust that could be unbolted, for open exhaust. The sixpack cars did not. The car in the video surely doesnt. That is a clutch burning up.

Hi Kevin, thank you so much for continuing to feature the A12 Road Runner. Its such an iconic, rare, special car! I own a very correct tribute car.

Nice video, GREAT car. An apex predator of the muscle car era. A few items: the ‘69 1/2 440 6V had 10 1/2 compression, and no electronic ignition - a dual point Prestolite distributor was spark. 1969 was the last year for all-mechanical electronics. 1970 went to electronic voltage regulators, and a few years later electronic ignition.

0:51 gulp'n air. Gotta love that Six barrel howl.

I love the smell of a burning clutch in the morning. Still a badass ride.

This thing is SWEET! Reminds me of that old TNN Nashville Network vid with the father and son romping on the 6 pack SuperBee... oh hey, it's right here in my cars playlist!

I like how they used the word "handsome," because it's sort of true in describing the aesthetics of the car. Back then, the muscle car look, even though it still seems "square" and "rough-looking" by today's standards, meant "sleek" and "curvy" relative to the era, with that tucked back cabin and the long hood and relatively smaller size (think pony cars like the Mustang and Camaro and even the true muscle cars like the Chevelle and the 442). Yet Mopars kept the somewhat boxy look, with the cabin somewhat in the middle, the ass and extending far past the rear wheel well and a more boxy shape, almost like the big full-sized sedans of the same era. For some reason, even though one would think a fast car shouldn't be big and heavy, that's just what I love about the B-Body Mopar look - that they're BIG and HEAVY. That large, sprawled out stance of those cars gives them a big-boned, dominant look, and I love it. The '69 Roadrunner had the best look with that simple, clean-cut rear end and those simple square taillights and... I want one 😁

These DIDN'T come with Discs up front. They had 11x3.5 Dtums & 11" at the rear. I have one... Hardtop. My dad bought it NEW March 11 1969. RM23M9A257XXX Now its mine. R4 R4 D32 (727 Auto) Black Bucket (M6X) Interior w/Console (C16) and a "6 Way Driver Seat. Never wrecked. 1 repaint original PPG R4 in 1999. I hardly drive it. I MAY BE for sale.... Cool story!

She's a absolute beauty!

That's the one! That's my dream car!

Absolute dream machine

I used to own a 1974 Dodge Charger SE Broughham Edition with a 318 V8, 4 barrel 600 double pumper chromed out engine and carb, 904 R 4 racing transmission, dual 2 5/8" flowmaster exhaust, mds race ignition, chrome high performance flex fan, high performance transmission cooler, and Krager SS rims 10" wide in front, rear 12" wide, possi traction deferent, and rear wing. The car is candy color yellow with a black top and rear wing. I painted the rear drums red, but the front calipers still needed painted when I sold it.

That's my Dream Car , I had seen one new at Seaway Chrysler Plymouth in Duluth Mn. in 1969 it was sitting on the Showroom Floor , it was Go Banana (yellow) with black interior and Vinyl Top I was 12 years old at the time , but I feel in Love with the Big yellow Bird..

Beautiful car love old Mopars

Still cracks me up the vette was just a tenth or two faster the heavier RR Musclecar against a sportscar ,still that RR 69 motertrends car of the year one of the baddest muscle cars ever

Sweet ride.

Great vid as usual, Kevin!! Why have you guys never done a '66 or '67 Chevelle vid???

I love this CAR!

Great video and great car! My question is: what would someone do back then to modify the car even further? It already has all those great options from the factory but what else was available back then? Cams, headers, timing etc?

Nice job Bro(s)!

I bought a new ‘68 RR 383/4 spd post car in May of ‘68. The early 68’s had a B pillar and later models were hard tops. Because this A12 has a b pillar post, it may be an early ‘69? I didn’t know that the designation of 69.5 was used for the RR. Learn something new every 50 years!

They made both post and hard top in mid year, they say the post was the better one for being lighter than the hard top I've been told, ive even seen 69 hemi roadrunners as a post car.

I had a vitamin c 1970 roadrunner 440 mine was a 4 barrel 18 sline hemi 4 gear pistol grip with a bench seat 391 suregrip eight and 3 /25 I loved that car got me in lots of trouble in the 80s I think most of the cars were hemi orange don’t see a lot of vitamin c orange out of the road runners

I love that 69 1/2 440 Plymouth Road Runner...beep beep. I owned one...and I miss it. Mine was Lime Green with black mag stripes. I had a spoiler attached on the rear for wind speed velocity. With the mag tires, and hood locks because of the size of the engine.

Awesome mopar! I remember seeing several of these at car shows way back in the early eighties simply because I remember the front hubcap that didn't rotate when the wheels turned. I think they were cardboard.

The "hubcap" you speak of was a promotional piece for the showroom floor. It was attached to the hub so it remained fixed as the car was wheeled around. They were meant to be taken off when the car was sold, but some dealers were lazy, so they left them on.

Nice!

Major Clutch smoke:) That's ok, I would love to have this car!

Gorgeous car.. Mopar

Lol saw that also........I had a chance back in mid 90s to buy a clone ,which is fine don't have time or worries of a real one.

3:31 pause is that the clunch burnin up or an exaust leak! Cus that smoke aint comein from the tires!

A great street fighter bad a$$ car if ever there was one. Slicks and factory Super stock rear springs and instantly way down in 12's.

If you're on a highway and Road Runner goes beep beep. Just step aside or you might end up in a heap. Road Runner, Road Runner runs down the road all day. Even the coyote can't make him change his ways. Road Runner, the coyote's after you. Road Runner, if he catches you you're through. Road Runner, the coyote's after you. Road Runner, if he catches you you're through. That coyote is really a crazy clown, When will he learn that he never can mow him down? Poor little Road Runner never bothers anyone, Just runnin' down the road's his idea of having fun. ♥️♥️♥️♥️ Roadrunner ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Some people do not like the CARTOON CHARACTER association with the car.. I think it's kinda KOOL and a great selling point.. Makes it all the more FUN.. To me anyways..

As a factory-built street racer, they don’t make ‘em any badder than this.

The only Six-pack setup that I have had was on a '68 Charger R/T 440 (as 6 brl was not an available option until '69), and 4-speed pistol grip. I also had a '70 Roadrunner that was a 383 with an auto that was not near as much fun, but was still an awesome Mopar.

No Dodge used the name Six-Pack for its 6 barrel carb, and Plymouths 3x2 was simply revered to as its 6brl. So for example Roadrunner used the 440-6brl callout badging on its hood, and Dodge used the name Six-pack for their three two barrel carb. We don't use the word duces in Mopar terminology, that's a GM thing. But when it comes right down to it the damn carbs have 6 barrels, whatever the hell you want to call it lol.

Nice, but what can you tell us about the clutch? New clutch up on smoke, should be the title.

BAD ASS!!!!!!

Mopar!

This is literally my dream car. God why can’t I afford it 😭

would that Vancouver happen to be in Canada?

Yes indeed - Mopar or no car...

I have never seen a original A-12 with front disc brakes, and your's appear to be manual, are you sure ?

Love the A12 cars, but that one smokes the clutch.

Wow why was that clutch smoking like that???

Классика

The tachometer isn’t on the dash. I thought A12’s came with stock tachometer. This might be an early ‘69 with a 6 barrel 440. Does anyone know if only A12’s had a tachometer or all ‘69 and a halves had one. I’m debating on putting a 6 barrel 440 in my early ‘69 RR.

A tach or a clock were optional in the dash. They were NOT standard equipment on a A12. My a12, just like this one, only has the empty crosshair plate at the far right end of the instrument cluster.

And the disc brakes that he talks about weren't standard on a A12 either. Stock was 11x3 drums in front, 11x2 1/2 rear. If discs were ordered, you got 10" drums in the back.

Yes. Tha A12 came with a "bathtub" base for the aircleaner assembly. It was sealed to the hood around the outer edge, but had two levels inside. One was flush to the carbs inlet, the other was lower, to collect water away from the carbs, and that level had a drain, with a short hose attached, in all four corners. Water would expel to the sides of the engine.
