Road Runner

Show Quality 1970 Plymouth Road Runner, 550 HP 440 V8, 4-Speed, PS, PB, A/C

Welcome to Street Dreams as we celebrate our 26th year in the classic and muscle car business. By 1968, the "Muscle Car Wars" were raging and as dealers loaded hot models with profitable options, they often became too expensive for the young enthusiasts that they were intended for. Plymouth's answer to this problem was to offer a no-frills, bench seat sedan with a strong engine and transmission at a low price. The resulting Road Runner was so successful that Plymouth scrambled to produce 45,000 cars when only 2500 orders were expected. This stunning 1970 Road Runner, however, is a bird of a different feather. This jewel is the result of an uncompleted $180K restoration in an attempt to build the finest Road Runner in existence. Tony recently finished this work of art and it does not disappoint. Notice the laser-straight panel gaps as you lift the hood to admire the stout 550 bhp 440 V8 that's been fortified with a Holley carburetor, a Mopar high rise aluminum intake manifold, a custom solid lifter camshaft, SCAT forged rods, Edelbrock Performer aluminum heads, ARP fasteners, a Melling high volume oil pump, an aluminum water pump, and a Be Cool aluminum radiator. Additional features include Borgeson power steering, power front disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors, Gen. IV Vintage Air A/C, rebuilt A833 4-speed manual transmission, QA1 adjustable front control arms, Mopar HD rear springs, plenty of Dynamat insulation, and 255/60R15 tires on appropriate steel wheels. Please study the images, particularly the trunk and undercarriage, of this show-ready work of art. Too nice to drive, this is the straightest car I've seen in 11 years and perhaps the nicest Road Runner extant. One more top-shelf dream machine from the Texas Hill Country's premier source for classic cars and the team that can make your dream a reality. Wile E. Coyote and Acme rocket skates not included!
