Vehicle Description
Welcome to StreetDreamsTexas as we celebrate our 22nd year in the
classic and muscle car business. By 1968 almost every domestic
automobile manufacturer had at least one model intended to compete
in the 'Muscle Car Wars' that were raging at the time. Since
Pontiac's GTO had debuted in 1964, however, more options had become
available, dealers loaded cars with profitable options, and prices
subsequently soared. Consequently, many of the '25 and younger'
crowd that the cars were intended for could no longer afford them.
Plymouth's answer to this problem was to offer a no-frills, bench
seat sedan with a strong engine and transmission at a low price.
Voila! The resulting Road Runner was so successful that Plymouth
had to scramble to fill nearly 45,000 first-year orders (2500 were
expected!). This Bright Blue Metallic (EB5) 1970 Plymouth Road
Runner is a good example of this legendary low-cost brawler. Lift
the hood and you'll find a healthy 400 B block sporting a Holley
4BBL carburetor and an Edelbrock Performer 383 aluminum intake
manifold. Additional features include power steering, A727
TorqueFlite automatic transmission, correct Medium Blue interior
trim, correct (and working!) Road Runner horn, Rally wheels, and
red stripe tires. And while all 1968-1970 Road Runners are
desirable and important muscle cars, I believe the grille and tail
lights of the 1970 model are the most attractive. Wile E. Coyote
and Acme rocket skates not included! Street Dreams (830-997-1950)
is a full service dealership that can assist with worldwide
delivery, insurance, and financing options.
