Road Runner owners have long deplored the double tap action needed to replicate the cartoon characters "beep beep!" So, Year One has finally solved the problem, 1 hit on the steering wheel, 2 beeps from the "Voice of the Road Runner" horn under the hood

The licensing agreement was a marketing windfall for the auto manufacturer in 1968, and the desert bird that could never be caught was the perfect fit for Plymouth’s youth-targeted muscle car. From iconic decals of the cartoon character to the iconic “Beep! Beep” purple horn, the Plymouth Road Runner was a hit.

But something has nagged Plymouth owners and fans for years: the horn, albeit repitched to sound similar to the character’s own sound, required two blips of the horn button to give off the “Beep! Beep!” of the cartoon bird.

Even famous blues guitarist and self-proclaimed “Mopar man” Kenny Wayne Shepherd vocalized concern, and YearOne Muscle Cars has come to the rescue with its new electric horn module kit that will make the double-tap horn action for you!

So no more two taps

the accurate cartoon sound:

for an unkown reason, Hot Rod Magazine just ran a feature article on Kenny Wayne Shepherd's '64 330

Its odd because this cool car was presented in 2010 at or before SEMA. That means we've known about it for about 4 years. Odd to see a feature article about it in the June 2014 issue of Hot Rod

Kenny Wayne Shepherd brought both Mopars to Spring Fling

Kenny Wayne Shepherd's newest Mopar, and the only one he didn't build, but was built for him (merry Xmas!) from car guys at Chrysler's Mopar division

The logo with the guitar pick design is by Chip Foose, who also did the Duster's design for Kenny http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/02/you-may-have-seen-this-in-car-craft-or.html

The above decal is the business card (pun intended) of the engineers (think of the original Ramchargers guys) that survived (if I recall correctly what I was told) the Chrysler problems, bankruptcy, and mergers of Benz, Cerebus, and now Fiat. Mopar Twenty One is also described as hard core hot rodders and their job, as well as their spare time obsession, is to design and build bitchin' hot rods and off-road trucks with an eye on production. (So says Hot Rod magazine)
