Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Chicago is proud to present this gorgeous 1970 Plymouth Road Runner. This original 383 car has been upgraded with a strong-running 440 cubic inch V8 and a smooth-shifting 4-speed manual transmission. Unfortunately, the fender tag was not available for this vehicle, so many of the original options are unknown. It has been lovingly transformed into a beautiful high-quality driver. The engine starts easily with a few pumps of the accelerator and a turn of the key. The monstrous 7.2l pushrod V8 settles into a lopey idle, but still revs quickly with a stab of the gas pedal.
From the front to the back, this Plymouth has been thoroughly restored including paint, the aforementioned 440 cubic inch replacement engine, numerous suspension replacements, interior, radio, etc. No bolt was left un-turned while breathing life back into this muscle car. This Road Runner is ready to take you for the ride of your life!
