1970 Plymouth Road Runner

Mopar fans, we have an AWESOME street machine here for you! We started with a real RM23 Road Runner, threw the 383 and column shift automatic away, painted it totally cool Vitamin C orange and stuffed a 440 Six Pack, a four speed transmission, and a Dana in it! Fresh and gorgeous from one end to the other this killer Beeper is just the ticket for summertime fun! Start outside with the killer look. Since we took liberties with the drive train and color palette, we got to build this one our way! Vitamin C paint covers very straight panels as the base for the additions to come. We painted fresh Organisol paint on the hood, added the tail stripe in reflective black and expertly applied the too-cool dust trails to the sides. We laid down a fresh black vinyl top and polished the trim to major shine. New 15 chrome Magnum 500s look fantastic at all four corners, as do the 225/70/15 B F Goodrich radial redlines. So were a few months past redline time at Chryslerthey look great! Chrome items from the bumpers to the door handles and side view mirror either are or shine like new. One cool factory option on this car we had to reinstall was the cool M31 molding on top of the doors and quartersevery car should have had these! The grille was treated to a full restoration with both dark and light argent paints and looks better than new. Out back, we installed a new Go-Wing in satin black just because we love how it looks. The stance is right and the color scheme cant be argued withthe cars a winner! Put the car on the lift and see that no shortcuts were taken here! The front and rear suspensions feature new parts and are highly detailed. Thats a brand new Dana 60 from axle to axle, filled with 3.54 gears and high strength axlesthat wasnt cheap! We rebuilt the A833 Hemi 4 Speed 18 spline transmission before reassembly, and used a brand new clutch. Theres a new fuel tank, new brake components and new lines everywhere. Theres a new dual exhaust system with tough sounding turbo mufflers and turn downs for the stealthy look. The chassis features a thick coat of undercoating over the clean sheet metal as this car was built to drive and look good while doing itthink of it as armor plating against road rash! The real star of this show is under the hoodthe rebuilt 440 mill topped with a freshened and ready to go six pack. The engine is coated in fresh Mopar Hemi Orange paint while the air cleaner is its own correct shade. Date coded spark plug wires, a tan distributor cap on the electronic ignition distributor, a new group 27 battery and cables and a reproduction coil shore up show duties. A fresh radiator, new hoses and wiring and new tune up parts means this runners ready to go! Hop inside the fully restored interior and get comfortable. Those are new seat covers under you, new door panels at your sides, a new dash pad up front, a new headliner up top and new carpeting below. New sill plates brighten your entry while restored gauges with an in dash teach let you know whats going on up front. The dash was completely taken apart, restored to the last piece and reassembled. Thats the correct Hurst pistol grip in your right hand and a Grant reproduction Tuff wheel in your left. Theres a new package tray in the back and restored headrests in the seat backs. Open the glove box and youll find a new entertainment system that provides modern sounds without detracting from the original look of the dash. We wanted to make this a comfortable cruiser, and we know youre going to like it! So many times cool cars are built for show and arent any fun to drive, or theyre restored to a standard so high you feel bad just looking at it! We know show cars, and we know the pride of owning them. Deep down, though, we know cars are built to drive and enjoy on the roadrolling art isnt any fun if it doesnt go places! With its fully protected chassis, bulletproof drive train, excellent cosmetics and new components used throughout this Road Runner is a blast on the back roads while still being capable of basking in the limelight at car shows from coast to coast!
