Lately more and more I'm starting to realize that back in 1969 I sat down with my dad (co-signer as I was just a few months shy of 19) and the local Plymouth dealer and picked out the options to order my first car a 1969 RM23 Road Runner and it turns out to be a favorite and it one case "the perfect Road Runner". A recent episode of Graveyard Carz called "Jonesing for a Road Runner" had Mark Worman sit down with a local Dodge dealer and create, according to Mark, "The Perfect Road Runner" to make a car like the dealer had when he was young. The car just about ended up like the RR I sat down and order back in the spring of 1969. What I ordered was a RM23 hardtop, 383, 727 Torqueflite, 3.91 Suregrip, Air Grabber, black bucket seats, console, A01 Light Package, hood stripes, power steering, AM radio (as I worked part-time installing car audio and put an 8-Track hidden in the glovebox and FM tuner within a few weeks) and in the undesirable F5 GREEN. Looking back the only thing I wish I would have ordered was power disc brakes but otherwise it was perfect IMO and close to what MW and Mr. Jones had spec'd out more than 50 years later. Had it for ten years and wished I never had to sell it as it sat and I raced motorcycles all over. F5 GREEN with a black interior, 3.91 and a 727, lots of fun and lots of great memories and for me "Just Perfect"
