1970 Plymouth Road Runner

1970 Plymouth Road Runner — 440ci V8 ~550 HP, Rebuilt A833 4-Speed, No-Expense-Spared Tor-Red Restoration

Here is a Road Runner that earns its reputation not through rarity alone but through the sheer quality of its craftsmanship — a meticulously restored 1970 Plymouth built to an exceptionally high standard and refined into an outstanding driver. The foundation was laid by a devoted Mopar enthusiast who invested $180,000 into building one of the finest examples possible, sparing little expense before the project was left unfinished. We completed the restoration, carefully sorting every remaining detail — from ignition timing and shifter adjustment to the cooling system — resulting in a car that now runs and drives every bit as well as it looks. Sold about a year ago and now returned to our inventory with roughly 170 miles on the fresh build, it offers the next owner an extensively restored Road Runner without the years of waiting a project like this demands. Settle into the black bench seat, grip that pistol-grip shifter, fire the big-block, and imagine adding this concours-level muscle car to your own collection.
