Vehicle Description
This bold 1972 Plymouth Road Runner gives some serious sinister
attitude to this car's whimsically fun nature. With the big 440 Six
Pack motor to back up its appearance, this bird doesn't spread its
wings; it flexes its muscles.
Call it Hemi Orange or Tor-Red, it's no matter because there has
been a serious investment in the fiery hue to make this one slick
and mean machine. And the cool black strobe stripes running down
the rear pillar and the black rear wing only reinforce this
attitude. The Road Runner was given its new fuselage styling during
the '70s, which hid the front end behind a chrome bumper surround.
The nose shields the headlights to make them look like a criminal
trying to hide his face in a hoodie. Pulling up behind other cars
at a stoplight definitely makes for a sight in their rear view
mirror. And the callouts on the hood hint that this is one Mopar
not to be messed with. But more than just pure intimidation, you're
going to love taking this one around because it has all the details
you love like the hood pins, Road Runner cartoon on the rear deck
(the horn still goes "BEEP! BEEP!"), and those large 18-inch Coys
alloys.
The fashionably dark interior has a nice sinister attitude, but as
you dig deeper, you spot some great upgrades. It starts with the
seats that were borrowed from a late-model Challenger. This means
you get modern all-day comfort and even power controls for the
driver. In fact, this coupe truly centers around the driver. The
center console has been formed specifically to favor you, and the
deep armrest in the door panel has always been a Mopar favorite.
This one takes it a step further by providing you with a newer
Grant GT sports steering wheel, and beyond that is a new full set
of Dakota gauges. They glow red just to remind you that this Mopar
is out for blood.
Under the hood the beastly V8 is looking its best, and that's
because this Road Runner barely has traveled any miles since its
restoration. So everything is fresh right down to the belts and
hoses. But even with the bold orange paint in the engine bay, you
can tell this V8 is radiating power. The 440 callouts on the hood
were not lying. This is a monster 440 Magnum out of a later model
Mopar, and it's topped with the iconic Six Pack triple set of dual
carbs. The big V8 exhales through a set of long tube performance
headers, so it has a throaty dual exhaust that makes a far more
manly tone than the cartoon horn. This is a high compression
package that's built for power, so it also has been setup for you
to shift your own way through the three-speed transmission, but
these Mopar muscle cars have stout parts that were built to take
it. And making sure this beastly machine is kept well under your
control are features like power steering, front disc brakes, and
the grip of modern Nexen performance tires.
Road Runners have always offered great power and at good price, but
this one goes one step further. This recently restored machine has
the right touches and a menacing look to be a truly intimating
muscle car. Mopars like this certainly don't stay in our showroom
long. Call today!!!
