Vehicle Description
You might not often see a 1974 Plymouth Road Runner tribute car,
but look at this closely, because you're getting a heck of a lot of
Mopar for the money. With a new performance-built 340ci V8, and a
whole lot of attitude to back it up, this is a quick classic coupe
that's pure intimidation.
1974 would be the last year for the legendary second-generation
Road Runners. They never again felt quite so sleek or bold after
this one. So we understand exactly why someone would take the time,
effort, and investment into making a great tribute. And this one is
done by starting with one of Chrysler's famous High Impact colors.
The Sublime Green carries a great glow-in-the-dark vibrancy that
comes from a professional and modern application of this iconic
hue. But it takes much more to really create a standout. The domed
hood, a full stripe package, hood pins, louvered rear window, and
rear spoiler � it all screams classic American muscle. There's also
quite a bit of chrome, most notably the big front and rear bumpers,
which still shine like mirrors. There's even the addition of Weld
wheels to give the sides some standout brightwork. Of course, these
would not be complete without the crowd-pleasing cartoon road
runner graphics adding some humor into a very serious power
package.
The interior will be familiar to anyone who loves Mopar performance
cars, with high-back buckets, a center console that angles towards
the driver, and a dash full of round gauges. While intended to be
the budget muscle car, you can't help but feel a bit comfortable
for the era with features like the button-top bucket seats and
plenty of wood panel trim. This is true driver's car, so it feels
great to grab the Road Runner three-spoke steering wheel and reach
for the push-button start just before you hear the V8 roar.
But more than just look the part of a muscle car, this Road Runner
tribute has a mean 340 cubic-inch V8 under the hood. It looks as
bold as the rest of the car thanks to the painted firewall and
fender walls. And of course, everyone loves to see the Mopar orange
on the block and big air grabber. Plus, the top of the motor isn't
lying, because there's a nice Holley four-barrel carburetor
contributing to this full power package. You better believe this
one make a menacing noise with the power adding long-tube headers
that connect to a stainless dual exhaust. But more than just an
intimidator, this MOPAR is a fine driver with its three-speed
automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes.
When you pour over all the photos, including the undercarriage
ones, it becomes clear how much was invested in creating this Road
Runner. You're looking at a tribute that does everything right,
including the price. So if you want a speedy Mopar for affordable
money, hurry up and call today!
