Cruisin Classics is excited to present to you this low-mileage numbers-matching 1974 Plymouth Road Runner survivor! This is one rare bird - one of only 1,109 produced with a 400ci V-8, one of only 237 400's with a manual 4-speed, and one of only a few that were outfitted with the rare Wimbledon Plaid seats! Making it even cooler is the fact that it retains all of it's original sheet metal, it still wears about 80% original paint, it still has it's original engine and transmission, it comes with two original Broadcast Sheets, and it has only 45,904 actual miles! What a find! Let's dig a little deeper into this very special Road Runner...
This Road Runner comes to us today dressed in mostly original Black paint (X9) with white stripes. The paint is in good driver-quality condition with small chips and touch-ups that you'd expect after over 50 years, but it still has a very nice shine. The white decals on the car provide a great contrast to the black paint, but they do exhibit thin cracking here and there from age. Up front you'll find a power-bulge hood with faux vents and ""400"" decals that let you know what's hiding below. The hood is equipped with factory hood pins and atop the fenders are working turn signal indicators for the driver. At the nose is a black eggcrate grille flanked by dual side-by-side round headlights in bright bezels and below is a chrome bumper with black guards. The side view of the car really shows off the muscular fuselage body style of the second generation Road Runners. The black body is accented by quite a bit of chrome and brightwork – including dual chrome side mirrors, wheel lip molding, door handles, windshield surround, and window trim. White stripes flow down the fenders and doors before swooping up the rear pillar and strobing across the roof. Colorful running cartoon bird decals on the rear pillars add to the look. Making a huge impact on the side-view are a set of 15"" chrome 5-spoke Crager SS wheels all wrapped in Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/T tires – a perfect choice for this ride! Around back, you'll find a chrome bumper with integrated taillights and black guards and a set of cool factory ""machine gun"" slotted exhaust tips.
Slip the pins and lift the hood to find a clean stock engine bay with a numbers-matching 400ci V-8 at the center. The blue block is topped off with chrome valve covers, a stock intake, a Carter Thermoquad 4-barrel carburetor, and an orange dual-snorkel air cleaner with ""400 4-Barrel"" decal. This big V-8 is mated up to a numbers-matching Chrysler 4-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels through an 8 ¾"" rear axle. Other highlights under the hood include power steering and power brakes (front discs, rear drums). Exhaust flows through cast manifolds and Dynomax Super Turbo mufflers before exiting the tips at the rear with a healthy rumble. With standard equipment such as power disc brakes up front, front and rear sway-bars, heavy-duty leaf springs and torsion bars, and isolated front and rear suspension, this car is much more pleasurable to drive than its older B-body cousins.
Swing open the drivers door to reveal an interior that will make any Mopar fan grin ear to ear! This Road Runner is outfitted with an original white vinyl interior that includes rare red Wimbledon Plaid seats and the legendary pistol-grip shifter. The white door panels sport faux wood trim, armrests, and a drivers mirror toggle. The seats are still in amazing condition and they really stand out as a focal point. A black center console with woodgrain trim and a storage box splits the front buckets and it's home to the aforementioned Hurst shifter. Overhead is a tight white vinyl headliner and underfoot is original black loop carpet. Ahead of the driver is black 3-spoke steering wheel with a working horn on a fixed column. The wheel fronts a crack-free black dash with a woodgrain gauge bezel and trim. The dash houses controls for the lights, 2-speed wipers, and heater & fan as well as a speedometer, tachometer, and working gauges. The odometer reads 45,904 and the title confirms those to be actual miles. Also within the bezel is the original AM/FM radio that plays your cruisin' soundtrack through a dash speaker. There are two speakers on the rear package tray, but they are inoperative. In the center of the dash is a working ""Reverse"" light and ahead of the passenger is a glovebox with working courtesy light. Around back in the trunk you'll find a vinyl mat, a Goodyear Polyglas spare tire, a factory jack, a California duster, and a set of black carpeted Road Runner floormats. Included in the sale are an original owners manual portfolio, some dealer brochures, a handful of receipts, and two original Broadcast sheets.
Whether you're looking for a second gen Road Runner or just a cool muscle car, you should give this '74 a hard look! Big block V-8 power, four speed manual with pistol-grip shifter, numbers-matching, original sheet metal, mostly original paint, rare original Wimbledon Plaid interior, broadcast sheets, and only 45,904 ACTUAL miles – just try to find another one like it! True survivors like this Road Runner don't come up for sale very often, so don't wait – give our friendly staff a call today and be the lucky one who gets to call this ride their own!

Here at Cruisin Classics, we understand that you have many options when choosing where you purchase your classic, muscle or collector car and we would like to thank you for considering us.
Cruisin Classics has been buying and selling cars for many years.. The majority were your average daily drivers but our passion has always been in muscle cars and hot rods so in 1996, Cruisin Classics built a 56,000 sq.ft. showroom located in Columbus, OH that they still operate out of today. All of our vehicles are hand-picked and selected to ensure they fit our inventory. This facility is now arguably one of the best-stocked collections for sale in the US housing hundreds of unique automobiles all under one roof. We invite you to our facility! There is something for everybody when you come to visit.
After years of serving as central Ohio's premiere classic car dealer at Cruisin Classics Auto Sales, we saw an unfulfilled need that was not being met for our clients. We loved helping match our clients with the classic and American muscle cars of their dreams. But what about after the purchase? We recognized that our clients needed a trusted resource to continue to care for their classic vehicles. It did not sit well with us that our valued clients and their incredible vehicles were being outsourced to, sometimes several, third-party resources for maintenance and performance needs. We also wanted to help the many people that we had met over the years who already owned classic vehicles which were in need of restoration, upgrades, and maintenance. Too often, we were seeing vehicles with so much potential left sitting in garages under covers because their owners did not know who to turn to for such specialized work. It is our goal to offer our clients a truly comprehensive, seamless, and enjoyable classic car ownership experience, from purchase to maintenance to storage. Thus, Cruisin Classics Performance Center was born. We have cherry-picked the most talented, experienced, and passionate team of technicians to offer our clients a true one-stop-shop solution for any and all of their classic car needs. Our honest business model has lasted almost 25 years to date and Cruisin Classics has a worldwide reputation as one of the best in the business.
Outside of the shop, this business has afforded us the opportunity to be actively involved in our community and fulfill our goal of supporting several local and national organizations that hold a special place in our hearts. We are proud sponsors of the Kiwanis Club of Columbus, the Columbus USO, Honor Flight, Special Olympics, multiple car clubs, and much more.
In conclusion, 100% customer satisfaction is our main goal. Always has been.. always will be. We would like to invite anyone considering one of our vehicles to come to our beautiful facility to inspect the car in person or send somebody on your behalf.

Have you found the perfect collector vehicle on All Collector Cars? Before you make any decisions, we recommend that you take some time now to read the full description and review all the pictures with the listing. It’s important to do as much due diligence as you can before you contact the seller so that you’re prepared to ask about any flaws you see—and perhaps ones you don’t.
All Collector Cars allows our sellers to post unlimited vehicle pictures and descriptions, which gives you, the buyer, more control and information. In addition, our Buyers Resource section offers advice and vendor recommendations to guide you through the buying process, from classic car financing & insurance to collector vehicle shipping & restoration.
