1971 Plymouth Road Runner

Description

Here's a bold 1971 Plymouth Road Runner with a big 440 V8 that adds plenty of growls to go with your Beep! Beep! machine. So when you're looking for serious Mopar muscle with distinctive style, read on...

The bold and factory-correct Bahama Yellow/Butterscotch is from the legendary High Impact color palette. It's the perfect attention-grabber to showcase all the great details on this coupe. The Road Runner was given its new fuselage styling in '71, which hid the front end behind a chrome bumper surround. The nose shields the headlights to make them look extra mean. So pulling up behind lesser cars at a stoplight definitely makes for a sight in their rearview mirrors. The black on the grille looks good against the yellow, and the same goes for the performance hood with hash stripes. The full presentation is believed to be highly original, and the good fit of the panels shows proper care. And this really does have great Mopar details, from the Rallye wheels to the Road Runner cartoon on the rear.

It's always nice when the exterior accents are a preview for the interior. Plus, there's nothing better on a true muscle machine than a deep, dark black. Factory wood paneling nicely breaks up this darkness with a period-correct premium appearance. It has a very clean and complete look. We particularly like how this one really loves to keep a very classic style, and so you'll enjoy even the little details, right down to the working dome light and AM/FM radio. It's also made to be a great driver's environment with high-back front bucket seats, a center console in-between, the classic three-spoke steering wheel, and full gauge package with large speedo and tach.

The 440 callouts on the hood were not lying. This is a monster 440 cubic-inch motor is an upgrade using an era-correct block. The bold orange motor and Super Commando air grabber give you the right classic look. Plus, this has the right updated components you want, like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Accel coil, and an Optima battery. There's even a newer dual exhaust to give you a terrific V8 tune. The full driving experience feels solid with a newer Borgeson power steering box, new front sway bar, power brakes, front discs, a stout three-speed transmission, and a rear end built with comfortable highway gears.

This is a very bold coupe with the best vintage details. So you know you want to get your hands on this Road Runner. Call today!!!
