I miss the Roadrunner. Yes, I know it was produced in the '70s while I was born in the '90s, but I am very much a classic car lover and I love to look back at old models. I have seen many Roadrunners at car shows and have fell in love with their styling. They have a larger body style than most but compete nicely with the Charger and Chevelle of that time.
Then a new version of the Roadrunner was born. The Plymouth Superbird. As I remember it was used highly in the early days of NASCAR by Richard Petty. For those who don't know, the Superbird is a Plymouth Roadrunner that has a nose addition and a large wing for more downdraft in racing. Dodge had the same idea when the Charger went into NASCAR. The Charger got the nose addition, the large wing, and a name change to the Dodge Charger Daytona. Concept drawings have been made for a new Roadrunner and Superbird. But as of right now, the Roadrunner and Superbird are muscle cars that are dead. If your an auto enthusiast and collect cars, then they are very much alive.
