-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. 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
