This 1971 Plymouth Roadrunner is a classic example of Mopar muscle—built for the driver who wants real big-block performance without paying show-car prices. The car is powered by a 440 Six-Pack V8 that was swapped in during its life, and while the exact mileage on the engine is unknown, it runs strong and has the right performance components: a steel crank, ported/polished 906 heads with a 3-angle valve job, 10.25:1 compression, and the famous Purple Shaft .509 cam. Fuel delivery comes through the classic triple-carb Six-Pack setup, giving this Roadrunner its unmistakable sound and throttle response.
Backing the engine is the desirable 18-spline Hemi 4-speed transmission, paired with a pistol-grip shifter—one of the most sought-after drivetrain combinations in the Mopar world. Power flows to a Sure-Grip 8.75 rear end equipped with 3.55 gears, offering a great blend of street manners and muscle.
The Plum Crazy paint is an older respray and presents as driver quality, showing normal wear but still attracting plenty of attention. Inside, the white upholstery remains in decent, usable condition. The headliner, however, has tears on both the driver and passenger side rear sections, and those areas are clearly shown in the photo so buyers know exactly what to expect.
The trunk area is solid, and the car overall shows good bones. It retains drum brakes and the original 15” wheels, which help maintain the factory look. The Air Grabber hood is fully functional, the lights and horn work (horn is aftermarket), and the car runs and drives well for an honest big-block Roadrunner.
This ’71 Roadrunner offers the right features—440 Six-Pack, Hemi 4-speed, Air Grabber, Plum Crazy—and presents as a solid, enjoyable driver with room for improvement. It’s a perfect opportunity for someone who wants a real Mopar muscle icon they can drive now and upgrade over time.

The seller has committed to buying another vehicle and needs to get this car sold. He is reducing the asking price to $23,000 OBO!
I was asked the reason for selling? I bought another car and don’t have the space, so someone will take it Wednesday for sure. Happy bidding!
Reminds me of cars we’d find in the late 80’s / early 90’s. Is the fender tag in place? If so, can we get a picture?
Hi Larry. A picture of the fender tag has been added to the photos. Thank you.
Hi Larry let me know if you have other questions.
Hi Larry, I apologize but I thought your question was answered. Yes fender tag is there and the picture was added. Let me know if you have other questions.
