Those of you Mopar fanatics will most likely know a lot about what this car is and how much it’s worth. I’ve always had a great deal of respect for the muscle that Chrysler injected into their product lines in the muscle car hay day. One thing is for sure, the option codes that go along with these cars really mean something to their value. This is most likely the case here with this 1970 Plymouth Road Runner V Code found here on Craigslist in Newton, Kansas.
The seller states that this is an original 440 Six Pack car but unfortunately, the engine is long gone. That’s many times the kicker for a lot of interested parties. Aside from the missing engine, it appears as though it has a lot of parts to resurrect this car back to its glory days. The seller does state that it was an Arizona car but would need the trunk pan and other sheet metal replaced to rid it of rust.
This definitely looks like a project that has been started and then changed hands a time or two. The current owner says that they’ve had the car for two and a half years but that it’s time to move on. The next owner will have to take the car home without that nice set of steel wheels and white lettered tires. That is what really grabs some of the visual attention with the project, in my opinion.
Hopefully, a Mopar muscle car fan will pick this car up and make it new again. It appears to be a decent project with a lot of pieces in place. But with the engine long gone is this car worth the $16,000 price?
“440 SIX PACK car!!!… you just have to supply the rare engine. Oh, and it’s missing this, and that, and this, and that. And it probably needs new this, that, and the other, and will need rust repair in a few… well, several areas. But I’ve underpriced this jewel at only $16k! Sorry, you don’t get the wheels and tires.”
Some car people are either crazy, or else absolute swindlers.
Totally agree Jeff.
Plum crazy is my guess
Never liked that Mopar color, but it does describe the mentality of this pricing structure.
Probably a used car salesman.
Someone is having an outside their damn mind moment.
I have a 440 six pack sitting in a crate in my storage barn, that being said, somebody would be out of their mind to pay 16K for this car, and oh yeah don’t forget to bring a set of tires for it. I live about 500 miles from Newton, if I was interested in it, why would a want to drag a set of tires along with me.
I won’t give 8K with the tires, my engine is worth 4K for what I got into it, plus I have a tranny that needs to be rebuilt, and if I look hard enough, I might even be able to fine a trunk pan for it.
I had a 1970 with a V8 like this in black. Nice, but I had a friend with a 225 in one. (Three on the tree, too!) I can’t remember if it was a low end Satellite or a Belvedere. What I do remember is that it ran very well and got 21 MPG to boot, even in a fairly big car for that engine. He had a friendlier insurance agent too. I think it would be a hoot to restore this to six cylinder specs and drive it to a show, then when everyone is running over to check it out, pop the hood and step back to gather up all the comments. Someday people will look back and realize that all the 225 and 318 cars that got the Frankenstein treatment done to them was a horrible mistake perpetrated by demented men.
Plum Crazy price….
As soon as I’m released from a mental facility I’m going to buy it.
You can do the same thing with a satellite for 1/4 the cost. Numbers matching is everything with these cars. Remember people sometimes rare means nobody wanted them!
Good luck on that !
For one, it doesn’t matter whether it is numbers matching because there is no motor or trans. The motor and trans is out of it so you can’t dispute whether it is numbers matching or not, humm. And it needs a trunk pan and other rust repair too? I’m in the process of restoring my 69 RR and it’s costing me a small fortune in rust repair, i.e., quarter skins, trunk pan, both doors replaced, so I have a good idea of what it is going to cost. At $16K, good luck.
Bring your own tires? Made me think I was on another site ,sister of bring a trailer!
Over priced.

No,No and No.
Good grief.
No way Jose.
Scrap
You guys are crazy 16k…a small price to pay for such a beautiful car it would be..i would cut my own hair for the rest of my days for that car…
16K for a V-Code 70 Roadrunner!!!
I would jump on that real soon before someone else does.
I have a one and any time I bring it out there’s a crowd and somebody
throws out some offer to buy it.
Mine don’t have the original engine but has a 6 bbl engine in it.
But make sure the secret numbers match the ones on the title before dropping
that much coin.
Just the hood with all the Hardware is worth $3800
