CRA ◊ 2006-08-09 21:15	When you look on the trunk, you will see, that there is an GTX Logo So I think that's a 1970 Plymouth GTX
EYKEY 47 ◊ 2006-08-28 02:52	ure blind or somethig?! its a 1970 plymonth roadrunner! -- Last edit: 2006-08-28 02:52:31
antp ◊ 2006-08-28 10:31	Why not a GTX (as there is a GTX logo on it and that it looks like a 1970 GTX...)
wickey ◊ 2006-08-28 12:50	EYKEY 47 wrote ure blind or somethig?! its a 1970 plymonth roadrunner! stay polite or go.
Nightrider ◊ 2006-09-04 06:56	But where is GTX badge on grille?
antp ◊ 2006-09-04 10:04	not on the grille, but on the trunk.
EYKEY 47 ◊ 2006-09-05 22:12	its a roadrunner no discussion...
Nightrider ◊ 2006-09-06 07:53	GTX badges also was placed on grille and fender scoops,as well as GTX feature two side pinstripes,where is pinstripes?
Aero9k ◊ 2006-09-08 08:46	it's a 1970 Plymotuh Road Runner. no discussion. it's not a GTX. in fact, the car is called "Hammer" as it says on the trunk.
antp ◊ 2006-09-08 10:45	Above the right rear lights it looks like "gtx". What makes it a Road Runner rather than a GTX? Both look quite similar...

Nightrider ◊ 2006-09-11 14:44	antp wrote Above the right rear lights it looks like "gtx". What makes it a Road Runner rather than a GTX? Both look quite similar... ANTP, Roadrunner is a pure musclecar with minimal trim and stripped interior, instead of luxury GTX
GENERAL LEE ◊ 2006-10-23 02:40	all a GTX is is a souped up bad ass roadrunner
Hecubus ◊ 2006-10-23 04:44	Yeah, souped up is the wrong way to put it. Mechanically, they were basically the same, the Road Runner was just much more basic (bench seat, vinyl floors, no power steering, etc).
carfan ◊ 2006-11-05 02:30	Dominic Toretto's car.
Kjafgf ◊ 2006-11-22 07:59	Also another difference between the Roadrunner and the GTX is that the roadrunner has a flatter bonnet (i.e. the bulge isn't that big) and the GTX doens't have an adjustable air scoop and the 'runner has rectangular exhaust tips whereas in the pics the GTX has round ones -- Last edit: 2006-11-22 08:01:02
Moparguy1973 ◊ 2006-12-30 07:40	This is Steven Strope's "Hammer", built for the SEMA show. It started life as a 1970 Satellite, but now is a GTX clone...it does have a GTX emblem above the right rear taillight. The GTX hood and the Road Runner hood are identical, they only difference is wether it has no scoop, or the vacuum operated "Air Grabber" scoop. Otherwise they are the same dimension...the GTX hood is no taller than the Road Runner's. Only the Satellite had the perfectly flat hood with no bulge. The exhaust tips are aftermarket. The Road Runners and the GTXs used the same rectangular tips from the factory. Neither car has "fender scoops", with the notable exception of the Superbird. They do have stamped quarter panel "scoops" (non-functional, just for looks), and in that case, yes, the GTX has an emblem there. Besides all that, it's a full-on, custom-built show car, so it may not have emblems here or there...

Mechanically, they were basically the same, the Road Runner was just much more basic (bench seat, vinyl floors, no power steering, etc). Not quite. GTXs were more loaded with luxury features, but also had hotter engines, on the whole. Roadrunner engine options (1970): 383 V8, 440 Six Barrel, 426 Hemi. GTX engine options (1970): 440 V8, 440 Six Barrel, 426 Hemi. Roadrunners came standard with 383 V8s, whereas GTXs came with 440 4 barrel V8s standard. GTXs never used in the 383, and Roadrunners only offered the 440 4 barrel for one year (1972). It should be noted that the Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird used the same engine options (440, 440+6, 426 Hemi) as the 1970 GTX, but this doesn't apply to the standard Roadrunner.
stpaulcarguy ◊ 2007-04-30 06:05	Who gives a fiddlers fart as to what it is, the point is, that is one bitchin' set of wheels.
Skid ◊ 2007-04-30 22:05	stpaulcarguy wrote Who gives a fiddlers fart as to what it is, the point is, that is one bitchin' set of wheels. I think it's entirely possible that you're missing the point of this website.

69Roadrunner426 ◊ 2007-05-11 04:42	Found it! This is indeed a 1970 Roadrunner, not a Satellite or GTX. This is powered by a Nelson Racing Engine and was featured on TLC. According to both the site and the show, this is a Roadrunner.
yo01 ◊ 2007-05-27 21:28	EYKEY 47 wrote ure blind or somethig?! its a 1970 plymonth roadrunner! You,re Right!
John 70 RR ◊ 2007-07-15 19:16	Well If it is a RR then it has been made to look like a GTX ... Honeycombe grill, blackout rear panal !!
EYKEY 47 ◊ 2007-08-17 02:12	yeah thanks for that;]
skyline99 ◊ 2007-10-30 01:01	actually, back in the 70s, u could pretty much get any engine in any car if u knew wat u were doin.
autoboy784 ◊ 2007-11-20 02:59	stpaulcarguy wrote I think your right CRA, I saw it too. Why are you guys even arguing about this. No one knows if its an GTX or a roadrunner. Plus the pictures are so fuckin' blurry how in the hell are you able to tell that the badge on the trunk says GTX?
hholidayy ◊ 2008-05-23 04:31	http://www.purevisiondesign.com/rides_otr_hammer.asp I'm a bit late but that link should settle it!

A voice of reason...if you don't want to do the research, don't argue over which car it is. "The Hammer" is really easy to find on the web, since it's quite a well-known car...and only TWO actually bothered. Makes me sad!

70roadrunner2 ◊ 2008-07-11 04:09	The car that you are talking about started life as a 1970 plymouth Satellite . But they are all the same car belvdere satellite roadrunner gtx.
ph3s1968 ◊ 2008-07-18 06:21	Hey all, I've seen this car in person and spent some time talking with Steve about it. So I wanted to let you know that the "GTX" badge on the trunk you are basing your arguments on is actually Pure Vision's own company badge placed on the car. Also the car DID begin life from the factory as a 1970 Satelite but in the time honored tradition of customization has taken many styling cues from both the Roadrunner AND the GTX.
tony ◊ 2008-10-15 02:27	It has chrome around the back tail light panel not found on a RR. but it has RR / GTX tail lights so its either a GTX or high end Satellite with RR/GTX tail lights and hood added. -- Last edit: 2008-10-15 02:34:48
audicrazy ◊ 2008-11-21 21:25	Hard to beleive Vin Desiel comes back in this movie.
wolfafterurazz ◊ 2009-02-19 02:50	a frickin clone.........why do people do that? it would be worth alot more as whatever it was off the production line..............it will never be a GTX...
Flash ◊ 2009-02-23 04:17	wickey wrote stay polite or go. Yeah! Clapped.

Satt, then both roadrunner and gtx. imho one of the most beautiful mopars ever built. i believe that they also use the hammer in the new fast and furious movie, pretty sure michelle rodriguez wrecks in it, or whats supposed to be it. its shown pretty briefly but looked like hammer to me. GO B-BODIES! check this out if you wanna see it run: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4lrWDYOeUc&feature=related
mitchell89 ◊ 2009-04-26 15:55	there was a similar car once at a car show in london it was a totally standard: 1970 Plymouth Road Runner GTX Left Hand Drive 440 Automatic Just to settle the score lads
69fastback_eleanore ◊ 2009-08-30 02:10	its a GTX for sure, look at the taillights the roadrunner doesnt have the full black bar across the trunk... not to mention the little round lights by the license plate (same as the GTX) that and also the emblem that says gtx on the trunk is a dead giveaway
towman ◊ 2009-11-10 04:01	the same car was used by letty in fast and furious so its kinda a form of sentiment for torretos girlfriend letty and it is a 1970 plymouth roadrunner hammer
audicrazy ◊ 2010-03-14 16:48	towman wrote the same car was used by letty in fast and furious so its kinda a form of sentiment for torretos girlfriend letty and it is a 1970 plymouth roadrunner hammer I agree. It looks like it has the same paint job and rims.
sammy1993 ◊ 2010-04-06 19:43	it is actually a 1970 plymouth satellite heavly motified with a lot of roadrunner and gtx parts.
SteveDC ◊ 2010-10-15 18:50	69Roadrunner426 wrote Wait, this is Hammer? The Hammer was built initially for the SEMA show in Vegas and I believe was a Roadrunner/GTX Combo. the Hammer the Nickname for the 1970 Plymouth Road Runner
SteveDC ◊ 2010-10-15 18:55	its a 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner, GTX is just a package someone could get when buying the Roadrunner
Axl_Rosenberg ◊ 2010-10-15 20:23	The amount of misinformation in this thread is staggering. First of all, in 1970 GTX and Roadrunner were separate models, not an option package. One has an RM vin, one has an RS vin. Available hoods on the Roadrunner and GTX were exactly the same. Without specific knowledge as to this particular car, all you can definitively say is that it's a modified Plymouth B body Satellite / Roadrunner / GTX. It appears to have an N96 Roadrunner / GTX hood, but no specific badging to identify it beyond that. They all had identical sheetmetal.
felixfast ◊ 2010-11-04 14:35	Yes according to script this is Letty's car and TOKYO DRIFT takes place after the 4th movie, They flipped a replica of this one as Dom tries to solve the Lettys death , Nice flashback scene by the way. -- Last edit: 2011-06-22 17:45:46 (antp)
Nightrider ◊ 2010-11-28 14:36	OMG. This is a custom car. It doesn't have any GTX badges outside,unique custom hood, completely custom interior, and block letters on the rear says HAMMER Link to "2.bp.blogspot.com" I don't know if it was Roadrunner or Satellite back in the days, but it wasn't customized "as GTX". Dixi.
blood diamond ◊ 2011-06-22 00:30	this is not a gtx i own 3 of them!!!!!!
tony ◊ 2011-07-06 01:34	the chrome trim around the tail lights is not found on RRs, and it does say GTX on the trunk lid. So I'd say more GTX than RR or a custom. -- Last edit: 2011-07-06 01:37:51
Nightrider ◊ 2011-07-06 07:28	It doesn't say GTX on the trunk. It's Hammer own badge.
mnstrmn1 ◊ 2011-09-04 08:20	that is actually Letty's GTX
mnstrmn1 ◊ 2011-09-04 08:21	Dominic takes it and drives it after she is "killed" in fast five which takes place before tokyo drift
Jimmy MuscleCar ◊ 2012-04-14 19:22	That's right! This Road Runner does infact return in Fast & Furious
JSCP ◊ 2012-08-09 18:40	This is a Sattelite. It was gonna be a GTX but it ended up a Roadrunner replica
mr.mopar69 ◊ 2012-10-28 05:44	moparguy had it right. It's Steven Strope's "Hammer" Even wikipedia says it's a Satellite with GTX AND Road Runner trim appearance. It should be listed as a Plymouth Satellite Custom. Link to "www.moparmusclemagazine.com" This tells you everything you need to know

Fluttershy ◊ 2019-07-22 09:31	antp wrote Why not a GTX (as there is a GTX logo on it and that it looks like a 1970 GTX...) I think its Both. A 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner with an Aftermarket GTX Package My Dad once did a Aftermarket GTO Conversion with a 1970 Pontiac Tempest
thugged0ut ◊ 2022-12-17 04:00	It was mind-blowing when I first seen this car in the movie.
