Vehicle Description
Here's a slick blue 1971 Plymouth Road Runner with a freshly built
440 V8 that has enough power to outrun the factory Beep! Beep!
machines. So when you're looking for serious Mopar muscle that's
still on its break-in miles, read on...
If you're going to build a Road Runner, 1971 is the exact right
year. This is the only time the famous 440 was available with the
cool fuselage styling. This new design really went for the sinister
side. The full front overhang makes the headlights look like the
eyes of a criminal lurking in the darkness, and the huge rear wing
makes this Road Runner a bird of prey. Plus, this gets the details
right with the side strobe stripes and the sport hood with 440
callouts. But there's also a brighter side to this coupe. The
Bright Blue Metallic looks like it was borrowed from the Warner
Brothers cartoon character that's all around the car... a very cool
touch.
It's always nice when the exterior accents are a preview for the
interior. Plus, there's nothing better on a true muscle machine
then a deep, dark black. Factory wood paneling nicely breaks up
this darkness with a period-correct premium appearance. The bench
seats of this big coupe make it a legitimate six-passenger
automobile, and the upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo with Bluetooth with
keep everyone happy. But it's the driver that's clearly the most
important in this Plymouth. The entire controls and gauges are
centered around you. Plus, you get a grippy three-spoke wheel with
the proper center cap that reminds you this Road Runner properly
goes Beep! Beep!
When you look under the hood, the bold block paint, shiny air
topper, and matching valve covers look like they are radiating
power from within the painted engine bay. The reason why everything
looks so fresh and clean is because it's so new. With only 100
miles on this motor, you still get to help break it in! Not only is
the V8 fresh, but also you're looking at a monster 440 cubic-inch
Magnum V8 topped with a four-barrel carburetor. With a newer motor
you get to take advantage of more modern components, and the
consignor says this is producing around 400 horsepower! So while
the horn might sound like a fun cartoon character, the dual exhaust
rumbles like a menacing villain. And because you have this big
power upgrade, be glad there are supporting components like the
stout A727 Torqueflight three-speed automatic transmission and a
limited slip rear end. Plus, you have great any time driving
features like power steering, a thick sway bar up front, and BF
Goodrich T/As on iconic Rallye wheels.
Supplemented with receipts and photos, you're looking at a well
presented and ferociously powerful Mopar with a fresh heart. Don't
let this one slip away. Call now!
