Vehicle Description
***SALE PENDING***Plymouth's goal in 1968 was to offer Detroit's
biggest bang for the buck. The new Road Runner, priced at about
$2,900, proved to be just the ticket. 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. Plymouth's 1969 Road Runner won the Motor Trend
Car of the Year trophy on the way to becoming the muscle car
market's second best-seller. 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. Just in at Cody's
Classic Cars, right out of a large privately owned muscle car
collection, is this beautiful 70 Road Runner. A combination of nice
original survivor (interior) along with a nice older repaint makes
this a very presentable car. Previous owner removed the original
383 and hood, and transplanted a strong 440 and even found an Air
Grabber hood! Rear end is 4:10 or 4:11, so this car is a lot of fun
around town! Recent mechanical updates include new gas tank,
sending unit, master cylinder, and rebuilt carb. CALL/TEXT
