Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Houston is proud to offer this beautiful
car. This '71 Road Runner originally came with a 383 cu in V8 with
a 3 speed 727 Torque Flight Transmission. It now features a 440 CiD
V8 & this Big Block engine cranks out 385 hp 490 lb-ft tourque. In
1971, the coupe bodywork was completely changed to a more rounded
"fuselage" design in keeping with then-current Chrysler styling
trends, including a steeply raked windshield, hidden cowl, and
deeply inset grille and headlights. In a departure from previous
thinking, the B-Body two-door bodies shared little if any sheet
metal, glass, or trim with the four-door bodies. The 440+6 and 426
Hemi were available, though this would be the last year for them.
The tall axle ratios with the 8 3/4" Chrysler and Dana 60 rear
ends, as well as the wide and close ratio 4-speed transmissions
could be had with any of the engine choices, though few cars were
built with the six-pack or Hemi engines. Aerodynamics were much
improved over the first generation Road Runners, resulting in
much-improved high-speed handling. This Road Runneris fast and fun
to drive.The paint and interior are in excellent condition for
driver quality. The engine compartment has been detailed and the
upgrades include the aluminum radiator and all of the ignition
components and wiring.This is a truly nice survivor bathed in black
paint with black interior. The graphics on this �71 look really
nice all the way around to identify this beast for the rare car
that it is. This is a period correct big block Road Runner in
excellent condition and it is priced to sell. This one can be yours
if you act now! This beauty is located at our Houston location
showroom and can be seen at www.GatewayClassicCars.com, or call
