Vehicle Description
This 1969 Plymouth Road Runner Convertible is everything you love.
It has serious rarity, drop-top appeal, all the right investments,
and the numbers-matching 383 V8 is still under the hood. It's the
restored four-speed muscle machine with a true pedigree.
The Road Runner was a hit when it debuted in 1968, and so Plymouth
returned in '69 with an added convertible. But where the coupe was
a budget muscle coupe, the drop-top's expense started to reach into
other models. So while you lust after a car like this today, there
were only about 2,100 made in its debut year...that's it. Chevy and
Ford knocked out more of their best-sellers in a few days than
Plymouth made Road Runner convertibles all year. So you already
know this one has a rarity that will keep it in demand. That's also
why this one has been treated with the right care and investment
over the years. The factory-correct Ivy Green paint has been
resprayed to show-ready standards. Well-creased sheet metal,
beautiful chrome, pliable weather-stripping, and doors that close
with confidence are all part of total understanding that this rare
bird has received the respect it deserves. And this one is for
details loves, including the working turn signal indicator on the
fenders, and the touch of red on the performance hood goes well
with the redline tires. And of course, it wouldn't be a true
Plymouth Road Runner without the Warner Brothers bird making a
speedy getaway on each door and rear panel.
The white convertible top looks fantastically distinct against the
green. And it has good stitching and a taut fit of quality. But for
true distinction, just flip a switch, and it powers down to reveal
a full tan interior. It's an attractive color combo we don't often
see from this era, and so it's even more impressive that this one
carried the full factory-correct presentation. With such a
well-done preserved style and plenty of room in the back, this one
will have everyone asking to go for a ride. But the priority is
always going to be on the driver. You have high-back front bucket
seats (updated in 2011,) a center console in-between, factory
gauges w/tach, auxiliary readouts, and a Hurst floor shifter. Just
like the exterior, they took the time to even get the details
right, including the working courtesy lights, matching convertible
boot, and the AM radio is still cranking out tunes. And of course,
the horn still gives its hallmark BEEP! BEEP!
The engine bay has a clean look and a classic style. At the center
is the numbers-matching 383 cubic-inch big block with the Coyote
Duster air fresh air grabber on top. And not only is this an actual
mileage car (a true rarity over a half-century later) but the motor
was also rebuilt only about 3k miles ago. It even stealthy added
some worthwhile upgrades like aluminum heads and an upgraded
camshaft/lifter kit. The four-speed manual transmission is also the
numbers-matching unit, and it was given a new clutch kit in 2009.
The result is a terrific muscle car pedigree with the confidence
and power to still be enjoyed today. That's also why you have great
driving features like power steering, power brakes, and front
discs.
When you have this much rarity, beauty, and power in one drop-top
classic, you know it's a fleeting opportunity at something quite
special. So don't miss your chance, call today!
