1971 Plymouth Road Runner                                                  in                                  West Chester,                                  Pennsylvania1

  The year 1971 marked a significant turning point for Plymouth's

  B-body performance cars, as the streamlined styling of the previous

  decade gave way to a more modern aesthetic, setting the tone for

  the 1970s. Thanks to advancements in wind-tunnel development, this

  model dominated the NASCAR series, with Richard Petty at the helm.

  Among the rarest finds from that year are the 28 4-Speed Hemi Road

  Runners, each bearing the unmistakable cartoon character name and

  iconic "Beep-Beep" horn. This particular Mopar stands out not only

  for its scarcity but also for its distinctive features.

  As emissions regulations and insurance rates shifted, 1971 marked

  the end of an era for Hemi production. This car embodies the

  rebellious spirit of its time, boasting a factory TX9 Formal

  Black-on-black color scheme complemented by a striking white

  factory strobe stripe along the roof. Meticulously restored, it

  comes with two original broadcast sheets and a comprehensive Dave

  Wise research report, attesting to its authenticity.

  Underneath its Air Grabber hood lies a correct 426 Hemi V-8

  powerplant, equipped with dual 4-barrel carburetors,

  NASCAR-inspired Hemi heads and bottom end, and factory-specific

  detailing. This A34 Super Track Pak variant retains its

  matching-numbers 4-speed transmission and proper 4.10-geared Sure

  Grip Dana 60 rear, ensuring formidable performance on the road.

  Additional features include power brakes, heavy-duty shocks, and

  Hemi-specific suspension components, enhancing its handling

  prowess.

  Externally, the Air Grabber hood, dual exhaust chrome tips, white

  HEMI logos, and Road Runner decals further distinguish this car.

  The original bucket-seat interior is adorned with a Hurst Pistol

  Grip shifter, power seats, the A01 Light group, and a rim-blow

  steering wheel. Completing the package are Rallye wheels and wide

  Goodyear Polyglas GT F60-15 tires, lending a premium touch to its

  fuselage body.

  Legendary in its own right, the Road Runner encapsulates an era of

  American automotive history, and this specimen is no exception.
