1973 Plymouth Road Runner Pro Street
VIN: RM21P3G266996
The body of this Texas car was media blasted, corrosion-protected
with steel phosphate, epoxy-sealed, prepped, and then finished in
two-stage Sublime Green base and clear polyurethane paint.
Rear-wheel tubs and a 12-point roll-cage were added and exterior
body mods include narrowed and tucked front and rear bumpers, a
laser-cut Chrysler Pentastar grille and scoop inlays, Halogen head
and fog lights, shaved handles with keyless entry, integral front
and rear spoilers, and rubber items from Year One.
Powering this beast is a professionally built, balanced, and
blueprinted engine by Total Engine of Bloomington, Minnesota, based
on a new Mopar 426ci block opened to 446 cubic inches with an
Enderle-style scoop on dual Holley 750s atop an Indy 8-71 blower.
Other highlights include an Indy 440-1 Max Wedge aluminum head and
manifold combo, 81 JE forged pistons, Manley rods, an Eagle forged
crank, Comp Cams flat-tappet blower cam, ATI damper and gear drive,
MSD ignition, Milodon pan, pump, and windage tray. Dual fans and a
BeCool radiator keep it all running cool. Coated TTI headers flow
spent gases into dual Flowmasters and a fuel cell with Barry Grant
pump provides fuel. Dyno-proven at 820 hp and 690 pounds-feet of
torque, the wicked blown engine drives power through a 727 Chrysler
transmission built by Pro Trans in California, incorporating all
aluminum inside, a Turbo-Action 4,800 stall converter, Hurst
ratchet shifter, and remote cooler.
Underpinnings include a new, powder-coated chassis, K-member, and
control arms, plus Koni adjustable front and QA1 adjustable rear
shocks, a braced Cal Track 4-link, and a Mark Williams narrowed
Chrysler rear end with chromoly drive and axle shafts, and Richmond
3.911 gears on an MW spool. Brakes are MW 4-wheel discs, with dual
calipers at the rear, plus a new master cylinder with line-lock and
all-new lines. Wheels are Boyd Coddington billet-type polished
aluminum units, measuring 18�9 inches front and 20�14 inches rear,
surrounded by Mickey Thompson rubber.
The Road Runner's interior is new, featuring black custom panels
and carpeting with grey velour/black leather bucket seats,
AutoMeter gauges, legal seat belts, and power windows. Other
outstanding updates include dual batteries, Painless wiring, new
glass, and LED tail lights. Given its great presence and looks,
this Road Runner was selected as a Feature car at the Mopars at the
Mansion show, held at the storied Playboy Mansion, and it was a
cover subject and centerfold feature car in Mopar Collector's Guide
magazine.
A Mopar Collector's Guide Magazine, Dyno Sheet and nicely organized
& laminated binder full of receipts and invoices from the build are
included in the sale!
