Visit our website for 45+ photos of the car! http://www.vsr1.com/index.php?page=70-road-runner
We recently removed this Road Runner from dry indoor storage where it has been for the better part of the last 10 years. The owners growing family and work commitments have left him no time to enjoy the car. With a bit of work, including, refreshing the carburetors, resealing the intake manifold, and changing all of the fluids, this gem came to life. Equipped with long tube headers, it has its original 383 engine, which a previous owner added an intake setup from a 440 6 Pack, all topped with the very rare Air Grabber hood. The exhaust system has been replaced with a cleanly built dual exhaust from the headers back, with an H pipe and finished off with the correct original tailpipes. Judging by the tone of the idle, we venture that the camshaft was swapped to something a bit more aggressive as it has a nice lumpy idle. The bottom of the car is very dry and doesn't leave any oil spots.
Below are the details of the fender tag, to aid in deciphering what is stamped on the tag in the photo: · Row 1: 01132 159038 These are the additional options packages that are on the car:
The exterior of this car was redone by the previous owner, we estimate 12+ years ago. It still shines brightly with a lot of gloss, but does have some blistering of the paint on the upper portions of the rear quarter panels. This appears to be a separation of the paint from beneath, and is definitely not a situation of rust. The undercarriage and floors are solid, clean and dry, never repaired and are not in need of any patching or repair work. The interior of the car sports the original white vinyl seat upholstery, without any tears or split seams. The dash has one small crack above the glove box, door panels are original and clean with good armrests! As pictured, the paint inside the trunk and rear quarter is
the original speckle finish. There are two small dents, one at the right side
door joint below the handle and one at the left front corner. Both of these are
pictured for reference. Mileage as indicated is original and according to the previous owner, the car spent the majority of it’s life in a garage. As this car was removed from storage during winter here in New England we have not had the opportunity to drive the car other than in our driveway. It shifts solidly from 1st to second, however reverse is a bit sluggish to engage, and an adjustment of the shift band should resolve this. Opportunities for original low mileage solid Road Runners don’t come along often! This car has some rare original Plymouth parts that were added that deviate from the original, but enhance the package! Good luck in bidding, we’ll answer all questions, just call us.

Barrett-Jackson 2014: 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird passes half a million dollars
Sat, 18 Jan 2014The Plymouth Superbird is one of those classic American cars from the muscle car era that has captured the imagination of all sorts of automotive enthusiasts long after its presence on roads and race tracks wore away. It's easy to see why. Where else but in the Swingin' Sixties and Seventies would a car leave the factory with an aerodynamics package that included a pointy beak and a rear spoiler that sat several feet above the rear deck?
The example you see above, which was born in 1970, is one of the finest Superbirds we've ever seen. Combine its complete restoration with its original 426 Hemi engine, and it's no surprise that it managed to bring in a cool half million dollars (plus 10 percent in fees) at Barrett-Jackson. See it yourself in our high-res image gallery above, and scroll down below for the official auction description.

US Marshal's classic muscle car auction officially in the books
Thu, 25 Sep 2014The US Marshal's so-called Blood Muscle Auction was completed earlier this month, with the prestigious nine-car field (two cars were added following Autoblog's initial story, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 and a rare, mid-restoration 1971 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda) finding new and hopefully law-abiding owners.
While we'd normally recap the stars of the show, in this particular auction, every car's sale was newsworthy. The full list of sale prices doesn't seem to be published, but according to The New York Times, the auction brought in a total of $2.5 million, or an average of about $277,000 per car.
The king of the contest seems to be a 1970 Plymouth Superbird (above, right), complete with a 426-cubic-inch Hemi V8, which brought home $575,000. The trio of Yenko Chevys, meanwhile, all easily cleared the six-figure mark, with the Yenko Camaro (above, far right) clearing $315,000, the Chevelle crossing the block for $237,500 and the supremely rare - one of just 37 - Yenko Nova (shown above, left) selling for an even $400,000.
SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own
Wed, 19 Dec 2012Before Chrysler had Street and Racing Technology, it had Performance Vehicle Operations. What the two entities have in common, before SRT became its own brand, of course, is that each was created to take Chrysler and Dodge (and Plymouth, before it was unceremoniously killed off) vehicles to the next level of style and performance.
We'll leave the question of whether or not the old Plymouth (and later Chrysler) Prowler was ultimately a stylish, performance-oriented car to you, but the boys and girls currently leading the SRT charge at the Pentastar headquarters are keen to accept the retro-rod into the fold.
According to the automaker, all of SRT's current high-performance models owe a debt of gratitude to the old Prowler, due mostly to that car's use of lightweight bits and pieces and innovative construction techniques. If nothing else, the fact that the Prowler's frame is "the largest machined automotive part in history" is pretty cool. Read all the details here.
