Most collectors tend to migrate toward a particular manufacturer, type, or era of automobile. Like muscle cars, pony cars, or Tri-Five Chevies. In this case, the seller has amassed several Mopars that look like one thing on the outside but are another under the sheet metal. The body may be from a late 1960s Road Runner, for example, but the platform used is from a modern-day Dodge Charger or Chrysler 300. Located in San Antonio, Texas, these cars may be available individually or as a package deal. But you’ll have to reach out to the seller for more details and pricing on this interesting ensemble here on Facebook Marketplace.
The seller or other parties have spent considerable time bringing these cars to the state they’re in today. The bodies and paint, customized as they are, look remarkably good and well-done. They’re all referred to as rollers, so we must assume none of them are in running condition, and we don’t know what lies under the hoods if anything. It’s as though the bodies and platforms were merged, leaving the drivetrain decisions for another day.
From what we can tell, here’s what the collection represents:
1968 Plymouth Road Runner – was a real deal RR that now sits atop a Power Wagon 4X4 chassis
1970 Plymouth Superbird – real deal or clone painted bright green that is missing some of its glass
1970 Plymouth Superbird – real deal or clone painted purple-ish blue that also needs some glass
1970 Plymouth GTX – dark blue that the seller does mention is a clone
1990s Toyota Pickup – sitting atop a high-rise 4×4 platform (how did this get into the Mopar mob?)
No doubt, there’s an interesting story as to how and why each of these cars was modified and what it will take to make them functional vehicles. As the seller says, they’re “not for purists” because of their modifications, so the buyer (s) will have to decide what the best course of action might be for each car.
Oh Why.. why … why!! 🤦🤦🤦
Simple!!!
when all this was done to these cars they were just CHEAP OLD CARS THAT NOBODY WANTED!
Most likely the Superbirds are clones, nobody would modify them like that if they are real. Then again, they have a supposed real RoadRunner on a four wheel drive chassis. Some people need to leave cars alone, go collect stamps or something
we can say leave the cars alone today but when was this 4×4 conversion done? I along with many others remember when these types of cars were not worth a heck of a lot. They were laying everywhere and could be bought for a half weeks pay to get a driver, today you cant get a good fender for a half weeks pay.
Given enough alcohol & other things nothing surprise me what people will do.
The photo here doesn’t show it well (the rear 3/4 view on FB does a lot better) but that RR’s paint job screams early/mid ’80s custom.
The two “Superbirds” are definitely clones, the GTX, although cloned, looks to be the most original.
Agree on the Superbird clones…however, if they were done in the 80s/early 90s, those ‘bird parts (wing and nose) may be original and worth a pretty penny. BTW, I would love that 68 Roadrunner 4wd up here in SD during the winters!
I’d bet the’Birds are clones too. No rear window plugs.
I’ve said it before on this site – just ‘cause you can doesn’t mean you should.
What nothing with a squat? Posted a month ago.
Three of the worst mods ever made to any Mopar.
