Description
To start with. let me first say that I understand that there is a lot of information in my ad. I also understand that this may be boring to the person who is just looking and not buying. However. for the person who is looking to buy and spend their hard earned money. I feel that there is never too much information. As to myself. I am not a dealer. just a (65) year old kid that loves muscle and classic cars. For my work. I recently retired from managing a Correctional Facility here in Maine and have worked for the Maine Department of Corrections for (40) years. I am also a respected member of my community. I mention this only because of the value of this car and so that prospective buyers will have some idea as to who they are dealing with. Also. please check out my eBay feedback which is 100% with (1. 11) transactions. The Plymouth Road Runner was a performance car built by the Plymouth division of the Chrysler Corporation in the United States between 1968 and 1980. By 1968 the original muscle cars were moving away from their roots as relatively cheap. fast cars as they gained options. Although Plymouth already had a performance car in the GTX. it wanted to reincarnate the original muscle car concept in a car able to run 14-second quarter mile times and sell for less than US$3. 00. Both goals were met. and the Road Runner would far outpace the upscale and lower volume GTX. The 1969 Road Runner kept the same basic 1968 look but with some slight changes such as tail lights and grille. side marker lights. optional bucket seats. and new Road Runner decals. The Road Runner added a convertible option for 1969 with 2128 droptop models produced that year. In 1969 the 383ci engine was the standard power plant. and the 426 cubic inch Hemi was the only engine option available for the Road Runner until mid-year production. The standard 383ci V8 had 335 horsepower. and was marketed as the "383 Roadrunner" engine. The 383 Roadrunner had 5 more horsepower than the usual 383 Commando or Super Commando. thanks to a more radical cam. In addition to its higher horsepower rating. the 383 also had an astonishing 425 pound-feet of torque. which was the second-largest torque rating offered by Plymouth. Though the name of the car the Road Runner was based on changed from Belvedere to Satellite to Fury. the Road Runner remained a B-body through 1975. While the Road Runner name was planned to be on a B-body in Plymouth's published literature for the 1976 model year. the name was transferred to an optional appearance package for the all-new Volare. The Plymouth Road Runner was named Motor Trend’s Car of the Year for 1969. Check out the video here:
