  Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is excited to offer this

  awesome Sunfire Yellow 1969 Plymouth Road Runner for sale. While

  this beast may have started out with a 383 under the hood, now it's

  sporting "The Mopar Legend": a custom-built, balanced, and

  blueprinted Gen II 426 CID Hemi, which was built by 426 Hemi

  Specialist Jeff Shmanske. There is too much detail to list all of

  the specs in this writeup, but we'll be happy to email the complete

  specs and parts list. What we can fit in is it's a 4.50" bore Hemi

  block with water jacket cooling for street use, all moving parts

  were fully detailed, and precision machined during the build

  process. It has ARP main hardware, a Melling HV oil pump, forged

  steel 8-bolt Hemi crank, H-beam connecting rods (ARP 2000 cap

  screws), custom forged 10.25:1 pistons, Moly coated rings and

  bearings, USA made Mopar cast iron heads (170cc chambers) with high

  performance valve job, premium valve springs/locks/retainers,

  FelPro head gaskets, high performance USA made new old stock Mopar

  steel rocker arms (select fit to shafts), custom ground flat tappet

  cam (.550 lift, 285 deg duration, similar to '68-'69 street Hemi

  cam), Cloyes double roller timing chain, Smith Bros. HD custom

  pushrods with polished cups and ball ends, and the entire rotating

  assembly was precision balanced and blueprinted. A 114-picture

  build album will come with the car, showing each part and step in

  the build process for the Hemi, which has only about 250 miles on

  it since installation. Reed's Rod Shop in California completed the

  build once the Hemi was delivered to them. They completely rebuilt

  the front suspension, added a serpentine belt system, installed a

  massive Ron Davis Racing aluminum radiator with electric fan, a new

  flywheel and clutch assembly, new bell housing, and custom fabbed

  the installation for the Wilwood hydraulic slave cylinder for the

  hydraulic clutch actuator. They also rebuilt the existing A33

  4-speed manual transmission, ensuring that it was built to handle

  the big Hemi's power. The power steering system was also rebuilt,

  and front disc brakes were added (along with a Wilwood Hydroboost

  power assist system). The wiring harnesses were replaced, as well

  as the fuel tank, and corresponding new fuel lines and high-volume

  fuel pump to support the dual-quad-equipped Hemi's appetite for

  fuel. The big 426 has a custom dual exhaust system, including TTI

  ceramic coated long tube headers and a custom-fabbed X-pipe. Out

  back, the Mopar rear end is outfitted with a SureGrip differential

  and highway friendly 3.55:1 gears. Inside, while the dash has been

  outfitted with a Dakota Digital TRX gauge cluster, it looks like an

  original (which was the intent behind the restoration - make it

  look like it did when it was new). The rest of the interior shows

  that the efforts were successful - the white synthetic leather

  seating, black carpet and floormats, and white headliner all look

  practically unused. The weather stripping and window felts are also

  either new or in great shape throughout. This beast rides on

  original-looking Magnum 500 style wheels, which are wrapped in RWL

  Cooper Cobra radials, finishing off the classic look and stance of

  this amazing 1969 Road Runner. This bad boy is one of the nicest

  Road Runners we've had the pleasure of offering, and with the

  engine "build photo album" and tons of receipts and invoices that

  will accompany it, you'll want this for your Mopar collection!
