Vehicle Description
1970 Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird 440-4bbl, 4 speed, Dana 60
differential, bucket seats, console, power disc brakes, power disc
brakes , power steering with cooler, Magnum 500 road wheels,
production number 1147 of 1920, car built on Dec 2, 1969. Purchased
from the original owner in South Texas November 1992 with 42,000
original miles. The last time it was inspected and driven was 1977.
Purchased new August 29,1970 at Salockers Chrysler Plymouth in
Perry, Iowa. The owners moved to Texas in 1973 with their
belongings and a U-Haul trailer (hence the trailer hitch). There
was an aftermarket Mark IV under dash A/C added July 15, 1971. The
car has been in Texas from 1973 to present day. The exterior was
repainted some time in the mid 70's. The original wing was stolen
in the 80's and now has a new old stock wing included. The car is
original with matching number engine and transmission. It appears
that all the body panels are original to the car and needs a
complete restoration. Pulled the oil pan and heads a couple of
years ago, had the heads checked, and cleaned, checked lower end,
and reassembled. I rebuilt the original carburetor, replaced the
original fuel pump, water pump, gaskets, lifters, oil pump, and
vapor separator filter. The engine was run, and had no knocks and
good oil pressure. It will run, but is weak, and needs rebuilding.
The original correct 956 radiator and shroud are not currently
installed but included. The NOS rear wing I acquired has never been
painted, and has the factory paint number in stencil on the inside
vertical. The verticals are in factory primer, the horizontal is
bare aluminum. The wing was purchased / shipped directly from
Creative Industries Inc in 1971. One pair of NOS fender scoops are
included that have never been mounted or painted in the original
Mopar box. The body has rust in the upper and lower quarters, trunk
drip channel, trunk pan, driver side floor pan, rear window plug,
and roof.
