HIGHLIGHTS: - Freshly rebuilt Numbers-matching 383 V8! - Freshly
rebuilt Numbers-matching 727 transmission! - Original color!
Appears to be original paint! - Bucket seats with console! - Modern
A/C! - Front disc brakes! This 1970 Plymouth Road Runner is a
real-deal, factory-born muscle icon that has miraculously escaped
the typical frame-off restoration frenzy. It proudly retains its
numbers-matching 383ci V8 engine and desirable 727 Torqueflite
automatic transmission, offering an authentic slice of Mopar
history. This is a nice, driver-level survivor that balances
condition with originality, all wrapped up at a very realistic
price point. BODY OVERVIEW: The muscular B-body styling of the 1970
Road Runner is on full display here, presenting a straight and
confident silhouette. It sits perfectly on a set of classic Magnum
500 wheels, which provide the quintessential aggressive stance this
car deserved from day one. Discerning buyers should note that this
car appears to be largely original metal, and there are symmetrical
bubbles in the rockers on either side of the car below the doors.
Because this Mopar is an un-restored survivor, the body panels
carry the honest history of the last several decades, showing a
level of preservation that is becoming increasingly difficult to
find in a market dominated by over-restored trailer queens. That
being said, there are some dings/dents apparent as one would
reasonably expect, however this Road Runner presents beautifully
regardless. PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: Wearing what appears to be
all or mostly original Ivy Green paint, the exterior finish holds a
respectable shine and tells an authentic story. As a survivor, it
does show its age under close inspection, featuring two notable
paint bubbles located on each side of the car just below the rear
of the doors. Prospective buyers will also find a fair collection
of dings, chips, and older touchups. Rather than detracting from
the car, these minor imperfections serve as a badge of honor for a
vehicle that has spent its life being driven and enjoyed rather
than hidden away. INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The cabin appears to
be highly original and remains in great condition by survivor
standards. It features the desirable bucket seats split by a
factory center console, placing the driver in the ultimate
performance cockpit. While it maintains its deep 1970s character,
it has been thoughtfully upgraded with an aftermarket air
conditioning system that fits seamlessly into the dashboard,
proving that you can enjoy classic muscle without melting in the
summer heat (and without ruining the original look!). MECHANICAL
OVERVIEW: Under the hood, the original numbers-matching 383ci V8
runs beautifully, delivering that signature big-block Mopar rumble
through a dual exhaust system. The 727 automatic transmission
shifts smoothly, handling power delivery just the way it should.
Both the engine and transmission were rebuilt by Mark Dudley
Performance in July of 2023. The driving experience is assisted by
a set of manual front-disc brakes that provide reliable stopping
power-though a little extra leg-power may be required. Last but not
least, power steering makes cruising this Mopar a breeze. Overall,
this Road Runner is a pleasure to drive and sounds beautiful
through dual exhaust! WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: You will
love the undeniable ""street cred"" that comes with driving a
real-deal, numbers-matching survivor that hasn't been scrubbed of
its personality or repainted in a flashy non-original color. The
fact that the aftermarket A/C blows ice-cold means you can actually
take this car out on a hot July afternoon without regret. It is a
turn-key piece of history that starts, runs, and drives
beautifully, allowing you to enjoy the classic car hobby
immediately instead of spending your weekends waiting on
backordered parts! WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: If you are
looking for a laser-straight, concours-perfect show stopper, the
original paint imperfections and the two rust bubbles at the base
of the doors will definitely give you pause. Additionally, if you
enjoy the classic Warner Brothers novelty ""Beep-Beep"" horn or
signaling your turns to fellow motorists, you will find yourself
met with total silence until you do some light troubleshooting
behind the steering wheel. There is a known issue with the
horn/turn signal multifunction switch in the column. DOES IT NEED
ANYTHING? Mechanically, this Road Runner is ready to roll, but it
does have a small to-do list for the next owner. To make the car
fully functional, you will need to diagnose and repair the
non-functional turn signals and the horn. Beyond that, the car can
be enjoyed exactly as it sits, though a future owner might
eventually choose to address the paint bubbles below the doors to
stop them from progressing. WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR?
This Plymouth is the perfect catch for the Mopar enthusiast who
appreciates the unique charm, history, and honesty of an unrestored
driver-survivor. It is ideal for the buyer who wants a real factory
Road Runner that they can take to local cruise-ins without the
stress of scratching a $20,000 paint job. If you value a
numbers-matching engine and transmission, cold air conditioning,
and a reasonable entry price into big-block Mopar ownership, this
Ivy Green bird could be the right choice! Contact Rare Rides
