note: If you happen to be viewing this 1969 Plymouth Road Runner on
a website other than our Garage Kept Motors site, it's possible
that you've only seen some of our many photographs of the car due
to third-party website limitations. To be sure you access all the
more than 175 photographs, as well as a short start-up and
walk-around video, please go to our main website: Garage Kept
Motors.) Plymouth Road Runner: lightweight, cheap muscle - Allpar
(Mopar-enthusiast) website The Pontiac GTO may have started the
muscle car wars, but Chrysler upped the ante with the Road Runner.
The Allpar website continued: The Plymouth Roadrunner was a first
in American automotive history: a high-power, but budget-priced
muscle car, with light weight and strong engines. They were based
on the mid-sized 'B-body' car (Belvedere/Satellite), but were
lighter and cheaper. To get the maximum performance at the lowest
cost, the Roadrunner slashed non-performance amenities.... Offered
here in bright blue over black is a second-year Road Runner.
Restored and refreshed with no expense spared by Cuzie Customs of
Detroit (https://cuziecustoms.com), the car is in excellent,
show-worthy condition. Showing 6,473 miles since its re-birth, this
Plymouth performance legend is cosmetically true to its heritage,
with serious current-day Hemi performance added. This Road Runner's
show-quality, bright blue metallic finish was professionally
applied and remains in superb condition across the entire Belvedere
2-door-hardtop body. (To best assess the quality of the paint and
trim finishes, be sure to view the close-up photographs of the car
in the accompanying gallery.) The simplicity of the bodywork-free
of some of the graphic excesses of later models-makes for a pure
representation of the original Road Runner aesthetic. The
restrained use of the Road Runner cartoon-image, limited to the
front fenders and rear deck suggests a period-accurate, bit of a
sleeper presentation over a more gawdy race-me image. That said,
Mopar aficionados won't mistake this for anything but the
performance over-achiever it is. The matte-black hood sections,
red-trimmed hood bulges, and that small road runner emblem on the
rear-deck only confirm it. Foose® chrome, 5-spoke wheels (18-inch
in front, 20-inch in the rear) are mounted with Continental®
Extreme Contact performance tires. Between the spokes, the Wilwood®
brake calipers and slotted and drilled rotors are visible. Inside,
the straightforward, unobtrusive muscle-car aesthetic continues
with horizontally pleated black vinyl covering the bench seats,
front and rear. The nearly full-stock presentation with all
surfaces in pristine condition is noteworthy. Black carpeting and
dash are similarly restrained (Road Runner images on the front
protective mats, and the dash Road Runner emblem are the
exceptions). Every interior surface is pristine. The chrome,
B&M® floor-mounted shifter for the Chrysler 727 TorqueFlite®
automatic transmission (preferred by 0-60 enthusiasts) is the sole
key to the car's upgrades. But to clear up any doubt as to its
performance cred, just lift the hood. Underneath that hood is a
perfectly clean, virtually spotless engine compartment with a
current-day crate. 5.7-lier, 425-horsepower crate Hemi V8
centerstage. All related components, wiring, and engine-cooling
plumbing are properly mounted, as is the car's bespoke beep-beep
horn. (A sampling of the car's intoxicating engine note can be
heard in the accompanying startup-and-walkaround video link.) Fe
