Seller's comments about 1970' Plymouth Roadrunner

Its already easy to love a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner when it has its numbers-matching 383 V8 and transmission. But what gives this one even more distinction are the little extras, like a nice paperwork file (with buildsheet) and the right classic style that made us fall in love with a muscle Mopar that had a touch of cartoon fun. The white paint was an upgrade later in life. It was a wise choice because it has a smooth finish, and overall, its the kind of color that gives this coupe a timeless sense of style. Plus, it makes for a nice contrast for the black elements. This shows off everything from the added aggression of the matte hood strips, to the added quality of newer window rubbers. And you can also clearly see the yellow Road Runner side graphics that remind you about how this coupe can leave everyone else in the dust. Wide chrome bumpers, side scoop trim, and Rallye wheels complete a package that showcases all of the best elements of the muscle car era. The interior looks quite stock and correct. Theres a smooth dash and two wide benches with a tasteful contrasting trim on both the seats and doors. The three-spoke steering wheel has the classic grippy feel, and the horn button still delivers the hallmark Road Runner BEEP! BEEP! The solid price on a numbers-matching car means this is always a great place to start if you are looking to invest in restoring a terrific muscle machine. But if youre a fan of classic Mopars, then this presentation likely already has you excited. The Road Runner represented the budget-priced muscle car. If you we relooking for a loaded coupe, the GTX was already in the lineup. So the Road Runner was attractive in the muscle car world for being a better bargain, and it also meant people sought them out for being lighter, too. Thats why we like this one presented quite stock and quite basic. Heck, the AM radio thats on display would even be considered a luxury. Plus, the pillared body style is both stronger and even about 40 percent rarer than the hardtop! Under the hood is the numbers-matching 383 cubic-inch V8. The first impression looks fantastically original with the orange big block, bold air cleaner with correct Road Runner on top, and even the Road Runner horn mounted on the inner fender. But as you check it all out, the upgraded distributor, newer plug wires, and an upgraded Holley four-barrel carburetor are hints to let you know this V8 has always received the proper care to be a solid runner. The V8 fires up nicely and gives a terrific muscular bark out of the Flowmaster dual system. And while this is a car that likes you to feel the road, it also has good driving features like power steering, wide Cooper Cobra tires, and the numbers-matching A727 three-speed automatic transmission. The sale comes complete with the original buildsheet, warranty card, owners manual, and more. So if you like your classics with originality, distinction, and power, you need to hurry up and call today!
