1971 Plymouth Road Runner The 1971 Plymouth Road Runner ushered in
the second generation with Chryslers striking fuselage design,
featuring sweeping body contours, a loop-style front bumper, and
optional Air Grabber hood scoops. Built on a 115-inch wheelbase, it
blended a more refined chapter for high-compression big-block
engines before emissions regulations and soaring insurance rates
reshaped the performance market. As Hi Performance CARS magazine
wrote, We had felt the early models were too boxy, extremely
tasteless, and sported a interior that had been rejected by the
Taxi divisionFor 1971 the Road Runner is a whole new ball game. Our
1971 Road Runners power now comes from a modern 6.4-liter Hemi V8
paired with a performance 727 3-speed automatic transmission.
Finished in classic Dodge Lemon Twist paint with black accents, it
sports front eyebrow spoilers, an AAR Cuda style rear wing, and a
custom trunk strip. The interior has been refreshed, with the
contemporary touch of retro-style radio with Bluetooth. An those
customer LED halo headlights are just a hint of what lurks under
the hood. Highlights 2016 SRT 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine Performance
