Roadrunner HEMI In 1969 Plymouth's objective was to offer Detroit's
biggest performance bargain. The Road Runner, priced at about
$2,900, was the answer to the blue-collar performance market.
Initially based on a bare-bones Belvedere sedan, this B-body came
standard with a 335-horse 383 V-8, a 4-speed stick and a beefed-up
suspension. The 426 Hemi was an intimidating option, both in price
and power. Adding 425 Hemi horses into the Road Runner equation
upped the ante by about a grand. After a comparatively upscale
hardtop joined the original sedan early in 1968, a convertible Road
Runner also appeared for one year only in 1969. A restyled body
debuted in 1970, as did the high-flying, NASCAR-ready Superbird
with its pointed beak and "towel-rack" rear spoiler. This Hemi
Roadrunner was scheduled to be built on Wednesday, March 12 th ,

Plymouth looks like the day it left the assembly line. The
restoration began with a very nice body which was stripped to bare
metal and thoroughly block-sanded into a collection of virtually
better than new surfaces. After it was fully prepped, the car was
painted in its original X9 Black Velvet paint followed by water
sanding and polish to a show ready finish. Powered by its matching
numbers 426 cubic inch Hemi which utilizes an elephant block, cast
iron heads, an over square bore, a forged steel crank, forged steel
rods, forged aluminum pistons and a hydraulic cam to twist stout
