This 1971 Plymouth Road Runner delivers the perfect mix of
originality, attitude, and driveability. Finished in a vivid blue
that highlights the car's one-year-only "fuselage" body lines, it
captures everything that made Mopar's muscle cars stand apart. The
look is unmistakable - dual sport mirrors, 14-inch Magnum 500
wheels, and a clean coupe profile that still turns heads half a
century later.
Under the hood, a strong-running 360 small block V8 sits topped
with an Edelbrock aluminum intake and carburetor, breathing through
factory-style HP manifolds and dual exhaust. It fires easily, idles
smooth, and delivers that crisp, throaty sound every Mopar fan
wants. A dependable 727 automatic transmission and floor shifter
put the power right where it belongs. It's the kind of setup that's
ready to enjoy today - no trailer needed.
Inside, the blue vinyl bucket seats and console keep things
period-correct, while the retro radio adds a vintage touch. Manual
steering and manual drum brakes keep the driving experience honest
and mechanical, just like the muscle era intended. It's an engaging
car to drive, responsive and full of character, offering that pure
old-school connection between driver and machine.
The 1971 Road Runner stands out as one of the most distinctive
designs of the early '70s, with its bold curves and unique
front-end treatment. Production numbers were far lower than the
previous year, making it an increasingly rare and desirable model
among collectors. Few cars combine this level of style,
drivability, and authenticity in such a recognizable package.
If you're looking for a sharp, true-to-its-roots Road Runner that's
ready to show or cruise, this blue 1971 coupe checks every box.
It's an honest example of Plymouth's performance heritage - clean,
classic, and built to be driven.
