Plymouth Roadrunner 1968
General description :
The 1970 Plymouth Road Runner 440 Six Pack stands as an iconic and powerful representation of American Muscle. Born during the golden era of muscle cars, it embodies the essence of speed and power both feared and admired on the street and drag strip.
At the heart of this legendary Road Runner beats the mighty 440 cubic-inch V8 engine, renowned for its robust performance and commanding presence on the road. What sets this particular model apart is the inclusion of the optional Six Pack induction system, featuring three Holley two-barrel carburetors that work in harmony to unleash a symphony of power. Engine performance is further accelerated by the force feeding of fresh air courtesy of the factory Air Grabber hood.
The exterior design of the 1970 Plymouth Road Runner is a testament to its aggressive nature. With its bold and unmistakable lines, a streamlined body, and the distinctive Road Runner cartoon graphics, this car is an unmistakable head-turner. The wide stance, dual exhausts, and signature Air Grabber hood add to its menacing appearance, hinting at the untamed power that lies beneath.
Stepping inside, the interior reflects the no-nonsense approach of the era. A silver accented bench seat provides a comfortable yet sporty driving experience, while the minimalist dashboard with its array of gauges and factory tachometer reinforces the car's performance-oriented nature.
This example has been thoroughly restored to its original Ice Blue over black color combination. The factory optioned 440 Six Pack engine, uninhibited by power accessories, the N96 Air Grabber hood, and straight to business steel wheels suggest this car was ordered to do one thing! Go fast! The exterior wears glossy metallic paint on realigned body panels and new striping. The chrome trim remains largely original attesting to the well keeping this Road Runner has received in its lifetime. New upholstery and restored dash has refreshed the interior. The engine compartment, also fully restored, has been meticulously detailed down to correctly branded hoses, clamps and spark plug wires. A correctly plated wiper motor and properly restored purple Road Runner horn further exemplify the level of detail. The undercarriage was certainly not overlooked as seen by restored exhaust, suspension bushings, and fuel and brake lines.
As a sought-after classic today, the 1970 Plymouth Road Runner 440 Six Pack remains a symbol of an era when muscle cars ruled the roads, and sheer power was king. - Contact us today to drive this dream home.
