Plymouth Road Runner 1969 Description

1969 Plymouth Roadrunner: 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. In 1968 the first muscle cars were in the opinion of many moving away from their roots as relatively cheap fast cars as they gained options. Although Plymouth already had a performance car in the GTX designers decided to go back to the drawing board and reincarnate the original muscle car concept. Plymouth wanted a car able to run 14-second times in the quarter mile (402 m) and sell for less than $3000. Both goals were met and the low-cost muscle car hit the street. The success of the Road Runner would far outpace the upscale and lower volume GTX with which it was often confused. The Plymouth Road Runner was named Motor Trend "Car of the Year" for 1969 with sales topping 84000 that year.

If your collection lacks an immaculate frame-off restored Plymouth with a 472 Hemi look no further! In Season II of Discovery Channel's Wrecks to Riches series Barry White and his team spared no expense building this amazing Super Muscle Car 1969 Road Runner. The Road Runner was then featured at SEMA and a link to a video of Barry discussing this creation can be found online. This Mopar later made its way to it's current caretaker in Texas where it has been stored in a climate controlled garage and has seen less than 200 miles of asphalt since total completion. Being a speed-freak and a little bit of a super-perfectionist this Texas owner decided to upgrade the Road Runner above and beyond Barry's specs. The engine was removed and given to David Nickens of Nickens Bros Racing. When asked about his motivation for rebuilding a new engine with less than 500 miles the owner answered it best himself "...Nickens is a two time world champ running hemi engines sponsored by Chrysler so I let him do his thing on the engine. I had David Nickens rebuild the 472 factory Hemi engine making sure it was top notch and all parts inside were the best..." And with an open checkbook the best of everything was exactly what the Road Runner received. A dyno run after the rebuild resulted in a horsepower increase from 540 to just under 600hp. The TCI™ 727 Automatic transmission was also reworked to make sure it could handle the powerful engine. Finally the front end was changed out to a much more robust Magnumforce™ set-up. Additional options and features of this build include; Edelbrock™ Fuel System MSD™ Alternator/Starter/Distributor Inland Empire™ Drive Shaft Triple Flow Aluminum Radiator Power Steering Baer™ 4 Wheel Power Disc Brakes w/ Cross-Drilled & Slotted Rotors QA1™ Coil Over Shocks Magnaflow™ Exhaust Optima™ Red Top Battery Tilt Steering Tinted Windows Katzkin™ Full Leather Interior B&M™ Shifter Autometer™ Sport-Comp Gauges Custom Autosound™ AM/FM/MPX Receiver/CD Controller SRRC™ Magnum 5 Wheels (18"-front 19"-rear) & New Proxes™ Tires! Priced well below what is would cost you to build its twin you are looking at the deal of the year for a very unique and extremely well-built Mopar!
