Vehicle Description
We are very pleased to offer this 1971 Plymouth Road Runner. It was
born as a 383 4bbl, 4-speed, non power steering, non power brakes,
no AC, bench seat. The current engine is a 383 4bbl from a 69
Plymouth. Its been gone through and had new rings, bearings, new
timing chain, purple shaft cam, and lifters installed. The heads
were freshened up also. When you pop the hood theres plenty of
chrome details to make it shine. The transmission is a 833 4-speed
that also has been freshened up. It has a new Hayes clutch,
pressure plate, and throughout bearing. The flywheel is also new.
The shifter linkage, brackets, shifter boot, and pistol grip
shifter are also brand new. The driveshaft was checked and balanced
with new U joints. The rear has a freshly rebuilt 8 3/4 3rd member
with a sure-grip 3:55 gears and new wheel bearings. The brakes have
been upgraded to power disc (front) and 11 rear drums on the rear.
Lots of new components installed (wheel cylinders, brake pads and
shoes, rubber lines, proportioning valve, and calipers). The
exhaust is a set of long tube headers with a 2 1/2 mandrel bent set
of duals with turndowns at the rear. The mufflers are a 44 series
so its not overly loud. The exterior was painted to the most
recognized color Chrysler ever did. Plum Crazy Purple (or in
Plymouth terms In-Violet). Not only was the color changed, there
are subtle customizations. The marker lights have been shaved for a
more modern look and a set of Year One 17 rallye wheels installed
with Nitto 555 tires. Many other new parts- full package of
receipts will come with the car. The bucket seats were added and
new upholstery installed on the front and rear. New dash pad was
installed. The upper door panels are also new. The rallye gauge
cluster is an original with the clock (not working) option. The
stereo may look original but its not. It an updated version with
plugs on the rear for your phone or iPod. Before the new carpet was
installed the entire floor and firewall was covered in a sound
barrier to help keep the noise and heat from coming into the cabin.
Pop the trunk and see what a trunk should look like. Plenty of room
for a tent, chairs, and a cooler! Even with the jack and components
and an original never used bias ply spare from early 70s. The
undercarriage is done up in a black undercoating except for the new
fuel tank and lines. For more information, Pictures including
undercarriage and video call Tim Rollinger at 912-596-2099.
