 You’ll feel as though you were transported back in time to 1969, viewing a nearly-new Plymouth Road Runner.

 

 

With continued care, owning this car will make you feel that way every time you see and drive it.

 

 

Currently owned by a prominent, private collector, it enjoys a pampered life; meticulously maintained and covered in his “man cave”.

This is an extremely fast, reliable muscle car that is turn-key in every way.

Some years ago, the Plymouth received a professional, driver quality restoration. The present owner has made additional and substantial improvements both mechanically and cosmetically including a rebuilt rear differential, a complete new exhaust, distributer and suspension components. There is a long list of other work and parts purchased. Everything was professionally done and was not cheap. If you send us a request through eBay messaging, we’ll be happy to email a PDF or fax you all 25 pages.

Simply put, it is in

OUTSTANDING OVERALL CONDITION.

Let’s carefully inspect this fine automobile; inside and out, top to bottom.

Exterior:

Check out the 2-stage Metallic Blue enamel. Seeing it in person, the finish looks so deep you could dive into it.

With the exception of some minor pitting on the chrome door handles (above), the rest of the chrome sparkles like new.

There are a couple minor chips and scratches. The only example big enough to see without a magnifying glass was captured in the close-up photo above.  

Otherwise, the metallic-blue finish is showroom quality.

Detailed photos above and below reveal a small crack in the sheet metal below the windshield; evidence of a minor, substandard cosmetic repair. If you take time to click the link above and view the slideshow, there are additional, detailed photos of this area around the repair to inspect. You can verify for yourself that there are no apparent structural or rust issues.

 

Fortunately, there is no evidence of major collision or rust repair anywhere on the body or chassis.

 

 

Photos above and below indicate a slight "dip" in the hood's sheet metal...

...but for a 45 year-old body, she’s still in remarkable, original condition.

Check out the factory correct, Firestone SUP-R-BELT Wide Oval G7014 Redlines.

 Mounted to the original 14” rallys, wheel detail is amazing.

Speaking of detail, let us stress how straight the body is, how shiny the bumpers, how glossy the paint: if you wouldn't know differently, you'd think to be looking at a 5-year old, not a 45-year old car. This one is that clean!

 

How about a peak under the hood?

Engine & Mechanical:

 

The immaculate engine compartment is Roar Runner correct; right down to the decals and markings.

The 383 V-8 engine with 4-speed transmission and rebuilt 3.23 rear differential are all in great running condition.

Surprisingly perhaps, the wiring looks fantastic, the engine always runs cool, and there are no leaks worth mentioning.

The 8-cylinder power plant with “Air Grabber” intake sounds crisp and runs smoothly, like a turbine, with superb oil pressure, cold or hot.

Warmed up, coolant temperature remains absolutely stable, with no hint of overheating; even after extended runs or in rush hour traffic on a hot summer day.

All in all, the engine, transmission and rear-end are all solid and this Road Runner is mechanically as strong as it is cosmetically.

Yes, any Mopar drivetrain can be very tough and reliable with a bit of preventative maintenance!

 

Let’s have a detailed look inside now:

 

Bare-bones functionality highlights this original interior.

Some evidence of minor surface rust below the left door (shown above), otherwise, all panels, gaps, fit and finish appear sound. 

 

From the loop carpeting and vinyl seats to the door panels and headliner; everything looks factory fresh.

The dash is crack free. All instruments including the RPM gauge work perfectly and the wood grain on the steering wheel looks and feels untouched.

The Road Runner “beep-beep” horn is fully functional.

The upgraded "retro" thumbwheel AM/FM audio system has an external input which allows you to plug in your iPhone, iPod or MP3 player. 

With larger (hidden) speakers, it sounds great; even at speeds exceeding double nickel.

Gear shift and glove box are factory correct and like new.

 

Let’s have a look inside the trunk.

A closer look in the spacious trunk shows a nice, custom car cover, matching spare wheel with vintage SUPERWIDE 70 tire and original jack.

Be assured, you'll find zero corrosion in this critical area as well.

Let’s take a peak underneath:

Check out all the new bushings, shocks, exhaust, rebuilt rear diff and other cool stuff.

A small bubble in the paint seen in the rocker panel above. Otherwise, there is zero evidence of corrosion; only a nice, original, collision free chassis.

 

 

Drivability:

Paramount to the Muscle Car, driving experience is the element of unadulterated fun. It starts and idles smoothly, revs and pulls like an F-16 Fighter Jet, shifting smoothly through the gears with no unusual noises or smoke.

Smooth, strong acceleration will pull you into the back of your seat and turn heads coming and going. With rebuilt suspension components, handling and braking are simple and superb with no rattles, shakes, shimmies pulling or fading. Mind you; there are no power brakes, power steering or power assisted thinking here. Only you, the car and the highway...

All in all, this Road Runner is a thoroughly convincing performer.
