The Second Generation (1971-1974) Plymouth Road Runner saw
significant styling changes including a steeper windshield rake,
hidden cowl and deeply inset grille and headlights. The overall
length was increased, but the wheelbase shorter by an inch. The 383
"Road Runner" engine with an 8.7:1 compression ratio, hardened
exhaust valve seats was rated at 300hp. This allowed the 383 Road
Runner to receive a standard insurance rating and run on regular
gas. Aerodynamics were much improved over the previous generation,
resulting in much better high-speed handling. Richard Petty won the
NASCAR Championship in 1971 and 1972 using Road Runner-base cars.
This Bahama Yellow 1971 survivor sports 100% original sheet metal
AND paint. The 383 cid V8 is not original, but period correct and
mated to a 727-automatic transmission, 8 �" rear end and 3:55 gear
ratio. The black vinyl interior is in impeccable condition. Settle
in, turn the key and feel the rumble as the N96 Air-Grabber rises
into position, beckoning for the open road. Additional features
include rear louvers, front & rear spoilers, power steering, power
brakes and functional AM radio. This historic 1971 Roadrunner is
