1970 Plymouth Road Runner with just 824 convertible were made is
one of the most sought after Mopar's for collectors/investors. The
1970 is considered by many to be the pinnacle model year for the
Golden Era! The body was smoothed out with restyled fenders,
grille, and taillights. Non-functional side scallops were located
behind the doors and options such as Rallye wheels. The interior
was augmented with a new gauge cluster with circular gauges. All of
these changes resulted in the best-looking Road Runner ever. This
is an all-original unmolested numbers matching vehicle. Free from
rust and other, even trivial, or damage. This beauty has had a
regimen of excellent care. It has the correct Mopar High Impact EK2
Vitamin C orange. This is the original correct color. Showing 1919
miles.
For power the Road Runner came with a modified version of the
venerable 383 (E63). Engineers borrowed the cylinder heads and
hydraulic lifter camshaft from the 440 Magnum/Super Commando motor.
Other improvements consisted of a high-rise cast-iron intake
manifold with a four-barrel, and a high-flow, dual exhaust system.

the Warner Brothers roadrunner caricature. As a side note they are
reflective...very cool! Charcoal & Black interior is in excellent
condition.
