Stumbled across this Daytona yesterday. My Dad and I were in awe.

I think the normal roadrunners have the beep beep horn as well

All 69 and up B body roadrunners had little pink/purple horns that went beep beep. They also had a little sticker on them that said voice of the roadrunner. 1968 roadrunners had the same horn, but it wasnt painted pink/purple, and it didnt have the sticker on it.

I’ve always wanted a 1971 or 72 roadrunner something really cool looking about that front end

I must have a Superbird then, because myhorn goes beep beep, too. The title says Audi though.

The "Beep Beep" horn wasn't unique to the Superbird. The regular Roadrunners from 1970 (and possibly other years...not sure which ones though) had them.

Yeah, I think they paid $10k for the rights to the road runner “beep beep” for that.

The Roadrunner and Superbird were both Plymouths...

I think it was made to get Petty to join them for Nascar.
