Got stopped in Ohio in 1970 at a random inspection station. I was driving my all factory 68 Road Runner. The inspecting officer started to write me up for a defective horn. I told him that "meep meep" horn was what the car came with. Had to pop the hood to show him. I guess he hadn't seen this commercial. Finally did convince him and he let me go citation free.

Fall of '69 must have been the best time ever to buy muscle cars. There were still a few '69 models on dealer lots . . . and the first wave of '70 models were rollin' in.

I went with my dad Halloween night 1968 to get a new blue roadrunner that he wanted. My mom and the salesman talked him into a four door automatic satellite 318 instead of the 383 runner, because we had my little sister and they thought the 4 door was more family friendly. I’ve always hated my sister for being born. Lol...I’ve been pissed at my mother (god rest her) for 52 years over that one. I think the price on the runner was $2900 something like $72 a month for 2 years with $100 down. The good old days

Imagine the choice, being able to walk into a Chrysler dealership in 1969 and pick a Barracuda or Roadrunner or Chrysler 300. The only thing that would stand in our way in those days was money - we didn't have any or at least not enough to buy a new car.

The 1969 Fury was available with almost any engine from the "Slant Six" up to the 440-4bbl "Super Commando"; no "factory" Hemis were available in 1969 Furies, although I'm sure that several were made in enthusiasts' garages.
