1970 Plymouth Road Runner

VIN: RM23N0G106842

Multiple National Award winning 1970 Plymouth Road Runner for sale! Since the rotisserie restoration has been completed there has been roughly 500 miles of road time.

BODYWORK/TRIM

This slick Road Runner's high - quality restoration began with what appears to be a solid, largely rust - free body. The body was carefully stripped, married to new quarters and topped with a new hood. Once that fresh metal was correctly aligned, a vivid coat of Chrysler FJ5 Limelight was laid under black hood stripes and cool dust trails. And the result is one ultra - straight, fully detailed pavement pounder that inspires comments and elicits stares every time it hits the road!

Replaced during the thorough restoration, every bit of this Mopar's bright ornamentation presents extremely well. At the front of the car, a fully restored grille hangs an off - set “PLYMOUTH” script between four halogen headlamps, a good looking bumper and crystal-clear parking lights. Behind that grille, a familiar Air Grabber Hood centers an otherwise wind - cheating scoop between stainless pins, loud “440 + 6” decals and satin - finished windshield wipers. Above that hood, like - new glass rides behind pristine frames, new drip rails and two chrome mirrors. Below that glass, slab - sided body panels, which do a great job of conveying Plymouth's classic broad - shouldered design language, hang traditional Chrysler door handles between stylish side scoops, clean marker lamps and subtle “road runner” emblems. And at the back of the car, a second chrome bumper centers crystal clear reverse lamps under black - trimmed tail lights, a pristine “road runner” call - out and broad “PLYMOUTH” lettering.

ENGINE

Lift the car's long hood and you'll find a 440 cubic inch RB V8 that's been dyno-tuned to produce 428 horsepower and 532 lb./ft. of 'Cuda killing torque! More popular than Chrysler's famed Hemi, and almost as feared, Plymouth's storied 440 6 Barrel was designed to be the industry's best combination of comfort, street ability and big block performance. Oxygen whips through the car's Air Grabber Hood to a correctly decaled cleaner and three Holley 2-barrels that are bolted to a beefy Edelbrock intake.

INTERIOR

Counter to today's obsession with technology and convenience, it seems old school American muscle cars only needed simple stitching, a bit of stainless trim and essential instrumentation to strike a perfect balance of 'instantly classic' and 'perpetually cool'. When you open this Road Runner's solid doors, you'll find a cockpit where Legendary leather seats meld seamlessly with a stylish, no - nonsense driving environment. At the sides of those seats, weather - free door panels hang chrome - laden armrests under fresh stainless trim and bright white frames. At the bottom of those panels, like - new carpet is protected by color - keyed, “Plymouth” branded floor mats. On top of that carpet, a Hurst pistol grip shifter rows the gears. In front of the driver, a monochromatic steering wheel spins around rebuilt Rallye gauges and a subtle Ken Harrison stereo. And behind the cockpit, a dressed and decaled trunk features a fifth chrome wheel and full - size spare tire.
