1970 Plymouth Road Runner 550hp 440 4-Speed Show Quality Rotisserie Restoration

Since September 1999, Street Dreams Texas has been bringing classic American muscle and collector cars to enthusiasts around the world. Some cars stand out because of their rarity, while others earn their reputation through the quality of their craftsmanship. This 1970 Plymouth Road Runner belongs in the latter category, representing a meticulous restoration that was built to an exceptionally high standard and refined into the outstanding driver it is today.

The foundation for this Road Runner was laid by a devoted Mopar enthusiast who put $180k into setting out to build one of the finest examples possible, sparing little expense before the project was left unfinished. We completed the restoration, carefully sorting every remaining detail—from fine-tuning the ignition timing and shifter adjustment to resolving cooling system issues—resulting in a car that now runs and drives every bit as well as it looks. After selling the car about a year ago, it has returned to our inventory with only about 170 miles on the fresh build, offering the next owner the opportunity to own an extensively restored Road Runner without waiting years for a restoration to be completed.

Finished in eye-catching HEMI Orange over a white interior with bucket seats interior , the body is exceptionally straight with outstanding panel alignment. The freshly painted chassis is detailed to the same high standard as the exterior, making this a car you'll be just as proud to display underneath as you will with the hood raised. A new set of YearOne Mopar Rallye wheels measuring 17x8 up front and 17x9 in the rear wrapped in Nitto NT555 G2 performance tires gives the car an aggressive stance while maintaining its unmistakable Mopar identity. The addition of the iconic Road Runner character decal on the passenger door completes the authentic appearance.

Power comes from a stout 440 cubic-inch V8 producing approximately 550 horsepower and backed by a rebuilt A833 four-speed manual transmission. The engine features Edelbrock Performer aluminum heads, a Mopar high-rise aluminum intake, Holley four-barrel carburetor, SCAT forged connecting rods, a custom solid-lifter camshaft, ARP fasteners, a Melling high-volume oil pump, an aluminum water pump, and a Be Cool aluminum radiator. An H-pipe exhaust system delivers the unmistakable sound that every big-block Mopar deserves, and this Road Runner has more than enough power to leave a little rubber behind in every gear.

Driving manners are equally impressive thanks to Borgeson power steering, power front disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors, QA1 adjustable front suspension components, heavy-duty Mopar rear springs, Vintage Air Gen IV climate control, and generous Dynamat insulation throughout the cabin. The result is a muscle car that delivers modern confidence without sacrificing its unmistakable 1970 character.

Included with the car is a custom red California Car Cover embroidered specifically for a 1970 Road Runner, providing added protection when this show-quality machine isn't turning heads. Whether it's displayed at a national Mopar event or enjoyed on a winding back road, this Road Runner offers the rare combination of concours-level presentation and exhilarating performance.
