Vehicle Description
It's already easy to love a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner when it has
its numbers-matching 383 V8 and transmission. But what gives this
one even more distinction are the little extras, like a nice
paperwork file (with buildsheet) and the right classic style that
made us fall in love with a muscle Mopar that had a touch of
cartoon fun.
The white paint was an upgrade later in life. It was a wise choice
because it has a smooth finish, and overall, it's the kind of color
that gives this coupe a timeless sense of style. Plus, it makes for
a nice contrast for the black elements. This shows off everything
from the added aggression of the matte hood strips, to the added
quality of newer window rubbers. And you can also clearly see the
yellow Road Runner side graphics that remind you about how this
coupe can leave everyone else in the dust. Wide chrome bumpers,
side scoop trim, and Rallye wheels complete a package that
showcases all of the best elements of the muscle car era.
The interior looks quite stock and correct. There's a smooth dash
and two wide benches with a tasteful contrasting trim on both the
seats and doors. The three-spoke steering wheel has the classic
grippy feel, and the horn button still delivers the hallmark Road
Runner BEEP! BEEP! The solid price on a numbers-matching car means
this is always a great place to start if you are looking to invest
in restoring a terrific muscle machine. But if you're a fan of
classic Mopars, then this presentation likely already has you
excited. The Road Runner represented the budget-priced muscle car.
If you we relooking for a loaded coupe, the GTX was already in the
lineup. So the Road Runner was attractive in the muscle car world
for being a better bargain, and it also meant people sought them
out for being lighter, too. That's why we like this one presented
quite stock and quite basic. Heck, the AM radio that's on display
would even be considered a luxury. Plus, the pillared body style is
both stronger and even about 40 percent rarer than the hardtop!
Under the hood is the numbers-matching 383 cubic-inch V8. The first
impression looks fantastically original with the orange big block,
bold air cleaner with correct Road Runner on top, and even the Road
Runner horn mounted on the inner fender. But as you check it all
out, the upgraded distributor, newer plug wires, and an upgraded
Holley four-barrel carburetor are hints to let you know this V8 has
always received the proper care to be a solid runner. The V8 fires
up nicely and gives a terrific muscular bark out of the Flowmaster
dual system. And while this is a car that likes you to feel the
road, it also has good driving features like power steering, wide
Cooper Cobra tires, and the numbers-matching A727 three-speed
automatic transmission.
The sale comes complete with the original buildsheet, warranty
card, owner's manual, and more. So if you like your classics with
originality, distinction, and power, you need to hurry up and call
