At Stephens Performance in Alabama sits a field of B-body Mopars deep enough that Auto Archaeology needed more than one video to cover it — this first installment alone spans Chargers, Road Runners, Coronets, GTX, and Super Bees in various states of decay. One commenter recognized the exact fence line from his grandfather’s old backyard; another admitted a rusting Mopar in this yard still looked fast enough to beat his Chevrolet. Watch to see what’s survived and what hasn’t.

Shot at the historic Raceway Park in Englishtown, New Jersey, this amateur upload from daredevil7442 captures a lineup of Hemi and big-block Mopar muscle running the quarter mile at one of the East Coast’s most storied drag strips. It’s grassroots drag racing rather than a professional NHRA broadcast, but the track underneath these cars has hosted some of the sport’s biggest names for decades. Watch to see American muscle running down a strip with genuine drag racing pedigree.

New sheet metal, a squared-off nose, and an engine bay that ranged from a mild 318 to a rare 440 — this Road Runner belongs to a chapter of the model most casual fans skip right past. Sales actually jumped when Plymouth redesigned it, so why does this generation get so little credit today?
