A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner with a powerful 383 V8 under the hood
and four-on-the-floor is already quite awesome. And as you look
over the whole package, you'll see investment to make this muscle
Mopar a sharp-looking total package. So you just know this loves to
get attention for much more than just the BEEP! BEEP! horn.
This was arguably the best year for the Road Runner. It wanted to
own every inch of the blacktop with a wide blocky stance, imposing
chrome bumpers, and rear fenders that extend past the trunk. The
factory-correct Jamaica Blue is a later respray that has a quality
gloss. So it helps show off the delicate details within the brawny
body. This includes the eyebrow lines on the fenders, the unique
rear window, and the sculpted dip in the trunk. So while this is a
true muscle car brute, we also love it for being a thoughtfully
designed Mopar. And this one really has everything you love on a
Road Runner, like the vented hood, wide dual exhaust tips, and fun
carton badging. We especially like the Mopar road wheels. They are
a classic-style option but now in a larger 15-inch size. So you can
now fit more modern tires, while also disguising them as classic
redline units.
There has been a solid investment inside to keep this white
interior looking terrific. The trim tag tells us the color is
factory-correct, and so it makes the car's Jamaica Blue paint name
also feel like its overall attitude. After all, the beautiful blue
reminds us of a tropical ocean, and the white upholstery is the
crest of the waves. So you'll love keeping the windows down on this
hardtop just so the pillarless style can show off the full island
style vibe inside and out. Not only is this an attractive color
combo, but they also took the time to keep this feeling absolutely
vintage. We love the details, like the thin headrests, smooth
wood-like trim on the center console, and working AM radio with
8-track. And the front bucket seats are a good reminder that the
driver is the most important in this Plymouth. You the classic
BEEP! BEEP! steering wheel, full factory gauges with rarely-seen
tach, and an added water temp readout. And we bet you're already
wondering what that shifter would look like with a pistol grip on
top.
From the moment you lift the hood, you know exactly why this one
gets your heart racing. The 383 cubic-inch V8 is a replacement
block, but it carries the correct style. So we bet you'll love
everything from the classic battery cover to the large Coyote
Duster air grabber. And because you can barely see beneath Wile E.
they took the opportunity to upgrade the four-barrel carburetor to
a later Edelbrock unit. It's a strong V8 that makes a terrific tune
out of the dual exhaust. You have complete control over the big
V8's power and its rumbling soundtrack thanks to the
numbers-matching four-speed manual transmission. This Road Runner
keeps the tradition of muscle cars that want you to have an
unfiltered feel of the road, but there are the right driver's
features, like power brakes and front discs.
The sale comes complete with nice paperwork like the factory order
sheet, title documentation, and build receipts. This is a powerful,
distinct, and truly fun Road Runner. So don't miss this Mopar
hardtop. Call today!!!
