On The Streets Of Bakersfield: 1970 Plymouth Road Runner

Misty Mountain Muscle! 1972 Plymouth Road Runner

Wearing a white hat, white interior, and Mist Green paint, this fancy Plymouth would have been perfect for Easter Sunday, or any pleasant drive on a sunny day. Currently located in Vernon, Vermont, this 1972 Plymouth Road Runner had… more»

Needs Everything: 1969 Plymouth Road Runner

This car is tough to look at. Out of all the Plymouth Road Runners, 1969 is my favorite due to the treatment of those rear lights.  I love the coke bottle shape, the w-curve in the rear glass, but… more»

Can’t Get No Respect: 1977 Plymouth Volaré Road Runner

I jumped at the opportunity to write about this sharp Mopar F-body based Road Runner because these cars play the part of the 1970s so well! Orange and black stripes, louvers on the windows and T-tops! And for the… more»

Playin’ In The Mud: 1970 Plymouth Road Runner

As a Mopar fan, I can appreciate beautiful original cars or perfectly restored cars alike but it is becoming rare to find one of these cars in driver condition. Ya know what I mean?  These fantastic Plymouth muscle cars (Satellite,… more»

Just Kidding: 1970 Plymouth Road Runner

Thanks to reader Patrick S for finding this amusing listing here on eBay. Things in Redlands, California seem to have taken an amusing turn. Seldom do we see the state of oxidation described by comparing it to flatulence resulting from popcorn. It doesn’t run, does not have the original engine and transmission but… more»

Project B-Body: 1968 Plymouth Road Runner

Mopar projects can often be some of the most daunting projects out there due largely to their tendency to rust as well as the high cost of parts. This 1968 Road Runner is certainly a project suffering from “typical”… more»

Roadrunnin’: 1974 Plymouth Road Runner Survivor

Survivor is not a term I like to use loosely, but I feel that this Road Runner fits the bill. There are multiple levels or survivors, so to speak. The two most common kinds are the cars that were… more»

New York Barn Find: 1969 Road Runner

Today, the highest horsepower variant of a given car often comes with the highest price tag. Along with the “big motor,” we expect leather seats, air conditioning, touch-screen navigation, and Bluetooth–so we can find out what our spouse needs… more»

Yellow Bird – 1974 Plymouth Road Runner – 440

Plymouth’s Road Runner began in 1968 as a stripped-down muscle-car at a time when marketing often forced buyers to step up to a higher model or package to get the big engine they wanted. This 1974 Road Runner in… more»

Fuzzy’s Mopar: 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner

The B-body is the favorite of many Mopar muscle lovers, including myself. While the Charger has stolen much of the B-body’s glory over the years, the Coronet, Roadrunner, and GTX all have their place in classic Mopar history. This… more»

Parked In ’89! 1977 Plymouth Road Runner

Describing a 1977 Plymouth Road Runner as a sub-model of a Volaré feels wrong, but that’s where the much-revered and feared muscle car model ended up in 1977, as evidenced in this original sales brochure on www.lov2xlr8.no showing what… more»

Picking Up The Pieces: 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner

Reader Bill W. sent us this forlorn looking Plymouth for sale here on craigslist in Alabama. There is no doubt in my mind that this 1969 Roadrunner has seen better days. That being said, as far as “quality for… more»

1 Of 906 Built: 1972 Plymouth Road Runner

While I prefer the looks of the pre-71 Road Runner, I think I could live with this ’72! It is going to need an insane amount of work, but it is one of 906 cars built with the 400… more»

Beep Beep To You: 1970 Plymouth Road Runner

Unearthed from a dusty storage area (by an owner appropriately named Dustin) where it may have been for as long as 15 years, this 1970 Plymouth Road Runner looks fairly original despite a claimed repaint from the previous owner…. more»

Did The Coyote Catch It? 1969 Plymouth Road Runner

“Road Runner…the Coyote’s after you! Road Runner…if he catches you you’re through!” I know many of the rest of you woke up on Saturday mornings waiting for that theme song as well; some of you may have even hoped… more»
