"With style approved by Mopar purists, performance upgrades designed to handle today's streets, and a sinister look compliments of its deep black finish, could this be the ultimate Road Runner!?
Starting with an original sheet metal Belvedere coupe, this killer B-body Mopar has been transformed into a tire shredding, fear inducing, street menace, reminiscent of A12 Road Runners that ruled the strips back in the day. The body has been professionally, rotisserie, restored to a degree Plymouth could have only dreamed about. Body panels expertly massaged and aligned. All the trim polished and rechromed. And sleek body lines devoid of excess striping (just like the designers envisioned) will make any new owner stand proud. A new, lightweight A12 style ""lift-off"" hood rides up front using factory hood hinges while retaining the requisite hood pins at each corner. Furthermore, correctly reproduced H-code wheels, sans hubcaps, are wrapped in bias ply redline tires, completing the A12 styling.
The beautifully restored bucket seat interior will require a second look to notice the expertly subtle modern flare. The console-less cockpit and factory radio block off plate suggests this car is all business, however upon further investigation, the driver is pleasantly greeted with a hidden bluetooth stereo, modernized gauge internals, and ever so important cold air conditioning!
Under the hood, a 6.1L 3rd Gen Hemi V8 was wisely chosen for modern performance and reliability. Stripped of unnecessary accessories and proudly painted Hemi orange, it also takes a second look at the engine bay to notice just how modernized it has become. And to pay homage to the A12 theme, an electronically fuel injected Six Pack throttle body setup rides under a factory Six Pack air cleaner. Power is sent back to a 4-speed manual transmission custom built with a 4th gear overdrive, allowing for comfortable highway cruising. A heavy duty 8 3/4 Sure-Grip rear axle finishes things off out back.
Underneath, an overhauled suspension, further improved by stiffer control arms, Hotchkis tuned Fox Racing shocks, and set of new leaf springs, is tight and predictable. Power steering updated with a new quick ratio steering gear, and braking updated with power discs up front round out a well-balanced and tough chassis.
Nostalgic style where expected, modern flare where desired, and the bragging rights of a Hemi powered muscle car, we dare to ask again; Is this the ultimate Road Runner!?
