For Sale: 1973 Plymouth Road Runner in Columbus, Ohio

Vehicle Description

Cruisin Classics is pleased to present to you this 1973 Plymouth Road Runner. This low-mileage Mopar comes to us today dressed in a respray of its original color - Spinnaker White with red transverse stripes. The colors look great on this fuselage-style B-body, and the paint is driver quality. The front end looks aggressive with a muscular "power bulge" hood that features dual faux air intakes and hood pins. Dual side-by-side round headlights in bright bezels flank a two-tier eggcrate grille with a red horizontal accent stripe, and beneath is a nice chrome bumper with black guards. Looking at the side of this Road Runner, you'll see copious amounts of brightwork like windshield trim, dual side mirrors, drip rail molding, wheel lip molding, rocker molding, door handles, and fender-top turn signal indicators. Tinted windows add to the look and keep things cooler on hot summer days. Adding more pop to the side view are a set of Crager SS wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich white-letter Radial T/A's. Around back, you'll find a chrome bumper (light pitting) with integrated taillights and black guards and a set of factory "machine gun" slotted exhaust tips. Colorful Road Runner decals adorn the front nose, C-pillars, and decklid. The floorpans, trunk floor, and rear quarters are all original and in good condition.

Slip the pins and lift the hood to find a stock engine bay with a numbers-matching 318ci V-8 at the center (last 8 digits of VIN are on the passenger-side oil pan rail under the car). The blue block is topped off with blue valve covers, a Carter BBD 2-barrel carburetor with matching intake manifold, and a black air cleaner with "318ci High Performance" decal. Other highlights under the hood include a 26" radiator, Chrysler electronic ignition, power steering, power brakes (front discs and rear drums), and working factory air conditioning. The V-8 is mated to a Chrysler A904 Torqueflite 3-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the rear via an 8 � " rear axle with open 2.71:1 rear gears - perfect for freeway cruising. Exhaust flows from cast manifolds through Flowmaster 44 mufflers and exits the tips with a nice rumble. With standard equipment such as power disc brakes up front, front and rear sway-bars, heavy-duty leaf springs and torsion bars, and isolated front and rear suspension, this car is much more pleasurable to drive than its older B-body cousins.

The interior of this Road Runner, just like the rest of the car, is still outfitted the way it was built, according to the fender tag. Swing open the door, and the dome light comes on to shine a light on a good-looking white and black interior. The door panels appear OEM-original with white vinyl, a bright accent strip, and a driver's mirror toggle. Up front are white vinyl bucket seats in good condition. The bench seat in the rear is done in the same style and is also in good condition. Between the front buckets is a black center console with a storage box, faux woodgrain veneer, and a "Slap Stik" shifter for the automatic transmission. Ahead of the driver is a 3-spoke black steering wheel with a Road Runner bird at the center and a working "beep beep" horn. Beyond is a crack-free black vinyl dash pad and a black dash with a faux woodgrain gauge bezel and accent strip. The round gauges include oil, fuel, temp, and alt as well as a 120mph speedometer and 7K tachometer. The odometer reads 49,330 miles, and the title claims them to be actual. Original HVAC controls are to the driver's left, and they offer cold A/C and hot heat with a strong fan. Also on the left are controls for the lights and working 2-speed wipers. To the right is the original solid-state AM radio that powers up and emits static through the dash speaker, but doesn't pull in stations. The AM radio likely won't pull in stations because the antenna is now connected to a Dual AM/FM/CD head unit mounted in the glovebox that plays through a set of 6X9s in the rear package tray. Ahead of the passenger is a woodgrain accent strip with a "road runner" badge and a bird above the glovebox. Overhead is a tight white perforated vinyl headliner and shoulder safety restraints for the front passengers. Underfoot is good quality hook & loop carpet with carpeted logo floormats. Back in the trunk, you'll find a vinyl mat, a bias-ply white-wall spare, and a factory-style jack.

If you're on the hunt for a Road Runner or just a cool muscle car that looks great and won't break the bank, you're going to want to give this '73 a serious look! This car is outfitted with desirable factory options like power steering, power brakes, cold A/C, and bucket seats with a console, and it is a fantastic driver out on the road! Give us a call today and make this awesome Mopar your own!
